55Great space! Toys available for play, a corner platform with a hose to use and a water bowl provided, an interestingly secluded area tucked away in Tacoma.
With the exception of various animals like goats and lamb to admire, the privacy was very nice for a bigger-than-your-average backyard all for an unbelievably affordable price!
Note: The center of the field is more dirt than grass, something to prepare for in case it’s a wet day! 10/10 will be back again! (:Alea C.

55This is the *perfect* spot for my pup! He absolutely loved being able to run around freely, and it gave him the opportunity be able to safely observe "new" animals from nearby farms. I'd brought some toys from home, but there was another ball there which allowed us to play soccer, too - that was a first, and we had great fun!
He was so happy to have "alone time" to play fetch and flirtpole!
We truly appreciate your offering this serene play space! We will most definitely be back, as I love it when my pup is happy and serene 💙😊🐕Emily N.

55My client ended up canceling, so me and my girl ended up having a play date alone. I much needed it. This place is so beautiful and so peaceful. I am so thankful to have this place to clear my mind, and spend time with my girl Juno. Even the neighbors are so sweet and loved asking questions about her. This place would totally gets 10 stars if that was an option lol! Kaly D.

55Nice setting, unless your dog might be reactive to farm animals in sight. Mine don't care and I like seeing the farm animals acrossed the field. The hose with an attachment is great for rinsing the pups' feet after they have run around before they get in the car!Maggie G.

55Nice place, we’ve been many times and today was the first with a friend’s dogs. They all had a great time. The smaller dogs enjoyed looking at the goats and sheep. Matt O.

55This was our first experience with Sniffspot - 10/10. The space is so nice and cared for. We were unbothered the entire time, it’s so peaceful. There were toys available, water, and lots of sitting room for the humans - covered and not!
We will be rebooking for sure. Bailey C.

55Twice in a week. I had to bring my Mom and her dog Lucky over to Summit Ridge SniffSpot. They're visiting from out of town. Her dog had a great time. We have a nice covered area to warm up after our short trek in the backwoods. We save a horse, alpaca, a sapsucker, and lots of different plants and trees to ID for the kiddo! A wonderful Merry Christmas gift for Lucky!! 🦮 🎄 🐕🦺 Sarah M.

55Excellent spot! There are double doors to the yard, I didn't notice the outer door until the interior door opened. The latch on the interior is finicky, so be sure to close both as you get into the yardKeaton G.

55Today was our 2nd visit. Such a nice little property!! Big enough for our 75lbs dog to play some good fetch and for our little one to scout. They love the goat peep holes and love seeing them. We will be back! Thanks again for sharing such a lovely space!!Michael M.

55This is a great, quiet spot with plenty of room to play with the chuck it and wear out the fur babies. If you feel like you’re being watched, it’s just the 2 goats wondering what you’re doing :) I plan on bringing my pup here once he’s fully vaccinated to work with training him, perfect spot to do so!

FAQ about our South Bend fully fenced 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
