55My dog had a great time zooming around Patty’s yard and lounging under the bushes. Lots of tennis balls to play with and a nice hammock to rest. Parking in her driveway made it an easy in/out. Jill D.

55This was my first time using sniff spot. Patty’s spot was just as described and very secluded, which was great for my yappy pups. They had a blast and we will definitely be back. Allie B.

55This yard is wonderful —Patti came out to say hi and was super welcoming. The yard has a nice mix of sun and shade so the pups could take breaks to cool down! Will definitely be back!Mary B.

55Lovely fenced in yard! If you come in the evening bring bug spray, there’s a wooded area to one side of the yard. My dog had a great time running around! We could hear some kids playing somewhere in the distance somewhere down the hill, but that didn’t bother my dog!Madison T.

55This is a great spot. The morning shade and breeze made it very comfortable on an August morning. At least two chairs and a hammock for the humans. I brought toys, but there was a tennis ball waiting for us. The fence line has lots of lovely bushes to for canine exploration and privacy. I’ll be back. kim k.

55What a delightful soothing place to play. The yard provided just the right mix of sniff and slope to play. Our two Welshies loved the chance to get out and romp. Fernanda F.

55Patty's yard was pretty perfect! It was a great space for our retired racing greyhound to sprint around - she loved it! It was tough to tell in the photos, but there is a wire mesh between the slats of the wooden fence. We didn't think our pup would try to make a break for it between the slats, but we couldn't be sure and the mesh made us much more at ease about it :) Would definitely recommend this spot!Michelle L.

FAQ about our Morningside 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Morningside area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 490 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
