55As always, we had a great time at this spot today! Nancy kindly put out ramps for my elder dog to make it over the entrance gate and they worked awesome. My son had a blast playing in the pool with the dogs and walking the trails through the woods. Can’t wait for our next visit!Danielle M.

55My two dogs had the best time today! We are working on recall with my adolescent newf, so the tall fencing was such a nice feature to know he was safe. (He definitely took his teenage liberties exploring at first!) Both dogs enjoyed the sturdy little pool and hose. Nice mix of woods and field. Trails are marked and directions for use of supplies was very clear. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great space!Emily H.

55This Spot will be in our regular rotation! We have one that loves tall grass and the other loves the woods so this is appealing to everyone! We enjoyed a game in the shelter and a quick hike up the pink trail and back. The agility equipment was a fun extra bonus!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful space, and we will see you again soon!

55A great place for my girls to run off their extra Sammy energy. They LOVED it and were exhausted on the way home. It was set up perfect for dogs and their humans. Water available for hot days and shady shelter was much appreciated. Only thing is it was hard to find as my GPS took me right by it. The driveway into the gated area is before the actual driveway address. A bigger sign would be all you need as if you know it’s coming it’s not so hard to find. We will be back. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with us!Angela D.

55My pups loved the site. We made multiple loops through the paths with a stop for water in between each loop. We did hear a dog barking, and one of my girls barked back a couple times. But that wasn’t a big deal at all! This site left my pups happy and tired. I will definitely be back!Andrea N.

55Had a good time here. The host was accommodating/flexible with us since we were on a road trip and unsure of our arrival time. Trails in the spot were clearly marked. Mostly shady, with one trail that was more flat and the other that was more hilly. Nice views once you make it to the top. Even though it was hot my dog was eager to try both trails. My dog was not interested in the kiddie pool, but it seemed like a nice setup with the hydrant.Rob R.

55oh.my!! what an amazing sniff spot! it’s a shame we live in michigan we would be here everyday! by far our new favorite spot. upon entering host has a ramp for elder pup friends and a well drawn out map! i really appreciated the tree marked trails, this time of year all the leaves on the ground makes it hard to follow but i prefer it that way, makes the dogs feel like their more in the “wild”! something about woods area really gets them going they love to run as far as they can. they also loved the grass area, my only concern with this was they were coveredddd in burrs for my long haired dog parents. nothing some time and a flea comb couldn’t fix though! they seriously have never been so tired in their life. the shelter area was a nice rest spot and close by the water station. i cannot say enough things about how amazing the host was, super responsive and sent nice messages. you can genuinely tell she loves to do this and puts work into it to make it amazing for the dogs. thank you again, we hope to be back sooner rather than later.Brittany H.

55What a fabulous place!!
My pup and I had the best afternoon at Opportunity Woods. Feels like a small state park but with the freedom of pup being off leash and no other people.
Clean, well marked, great fencing and terrain and all around an outstanding sniffspot! We cannot wait to returnJacqueline V.

FAQ about our Ridgeland 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 Ridgeland 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 44 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
