55What a great space! My mo had so much fun. I’ll remember to wear my hiking boots next time instead of my sneakers, just so I can keep my feet dry in the grass. Mo and I spent the time exploring, throwing his chuckit ball, and he just had the time of his life. Paulina A.

55Gorgeous property with tons for the dogs to do. We took our three girls (two boxers and a chow/blue heeler mix) and they had a blast. It was our first outing at a property this big and while it was a little nerve wracking to not have them in front of us at all times they always came back. I would recommend this place and will definitely go back but maybe wouldn’t take puppies since it could be overwhelming. My girls found how to go between the wooded and cleared area through a gap in the fencing but if you stand close to the gate you can see the whole thing and trust the wooded area is partitioned a lot better.Ysidro Y.

55Total gem! It was so nice to have this gorgeous, huge, fenced property just for us! My anxious mind would feel better if the gate closed, but we didn’t go over there and it really wasn’t an issue. My sweet Elvis is very afraid of livestock, and many larger Sniffspots in the area also have cows or goats and don’t work for him. I am so glad to have found Oscar’s Acres, where he can truly relax and be a dog. Allison P.

55Had a great visit here w my two dogs. We drove in from Austin so made a half day of it, stopping at our favorite drive thru, walking around the center of town and then romping thru the woods and grasses at Oscar’s Acres. The doggos loved it. A nice retreat. Lisa S.

55Great spot as usual. The entrance was muddy today after the recent rain, I had no trouble with my F150, but if you drive a small car don't stop in the mud at the entrance, you'll get stuck. I'm sure this only happens after a really good rain. Jeni G.

55This is the best sniff spot we’ve been to! Our dog raced and raced and RAN and had so much fun. I loved that there was both the open field and the wooded part with a trail. It was also way to keep him out of the water because there was an embankment going down to it so if you don’t want a wet dog just know it won’t be an issue if your dog is recall trained and stays within sight. I highly recommend this spot and I will be back, but I do recommend reading the directions at least twice since it was a tad tricky to find. Piper K.

FAQ about our Smithville 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Smithville 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 134 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 19 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.
