55Amazing spot to bring your dogs! The pond area was so nice to chill and relax while my pups got to know the place. We then walked up hill in the pasture area and they were able to zoomie and sniff to their hearts content. The view at the top is so worth it. Can only imagine what sunsets look like but this mornings view was spectacular. We had a grand ole time and hope to be back in the future to enjoy some more. Rebecca and Jesse F.

55This Sniffspot was really fun! Our dog is very timid and he had no problem getting out and up to the play area. The field was huge and the pond is a great bonus. The view from the top of the hill is something special. Dana S.

55We had so much fun exploring and enjoying Sassy Fox Farm. It is easy to find, well marked and lots of area to explore. We enjoyed sitting in the chairs up at the top and enjoying the stunning view. Our pup Rye had a blast. Taylor S.

55We took our dog for his 4th birthday! He is a husky mix and not usually allowed off leash and doesn’t play well with other dogs. This was a great way to allow him to romp around off leash! It isn’t fully fenced but we kept to the property lines and away from the area near the road (which isn’t busy) and he was a very good boy. They have animals but they were all near their home away from the area to explore and seemed to be in an enclosure - so no worries there. We were wanting to check out their goats/chickens/ducks but weren’t sure if that was ok so we didn’t.
My kids loved it as much as the dog did!
We will be back! Thanks so much!Abby D.

552nd time and we loved it! Views are beautiful and loved the mowed trails to follow. Great cardio for you and the dogs. Love the trash containers too for poop bags. Little running creak that was used by the dogs to cooldown in and drink from on this hotter day. Thank you again for letting us visit will for sure visit again. Rebecca and Jesse F.

55The fact that this home is on a steep grade may make it hard for some to get up the hill to the backyard but for those without restrictions this was a great spot for our rescue to hold a meet & greet with 3 dogs! Donna C.

55Although it is a relatively small Spot for a large athletic dog, the various elevations allowed for lots of jumping and exploring. This was great for a quick local energy burn. Plenty of toys to choose from, too.Craig O.

FAQ about our Independence dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
