55This is a fantastic Sniffspot! My dog had so much fun just running and sniffing. The location is quiet yet easy to get to. Parking was well marked. The gate and fencing felt secure, even for our little fence pusher. There was a clean bucket of water, poop bags, hand sanitizer (smart!) and a trash bin for the poop bags. There are lawn chairs to relax in while the dog romps. I walked the entire fence line over and over to get some steps in while my dog ran and the land is fairly flat with just a small incline in one corner. There was a bin with a variety of toys available. We'll be back!Kaight A.

55Great place for our dogs to let loose! We saw a couple cyclists and a few people, but everything was in passing so it was totally fine for us! It was easy to distract our dogs to another area of the yard. Our dogs had an excellent time!Rachel S.

55great spot for the pups ! was freshly mowed and flat enough so the dogs aren’t obstructed from view. Luke was plenty understanding when they got loose at the very beginning too :) will definitely be back ! Molly E.

55Awesome space! Plenty of room for pups to roam, sniff and explore!
My only concern is the gap under one side of the gate, our 55lb hound is quite opportunistic & was able to put her entire head and shoulders under it to try to escape, if you have a smaller pup just watch that. ☺️
We will be back for sure!Emmale L.

55This was a perfect space for me and daughter to hang while our collective 3 dogs played. The yard space is large enough that the two legged guests walked around the yard many times and got our own exercise. I highly recommend this spot!!!Judy D.

55Easy to find, clean and tidy, enough space for an active dog to run, great fencing. A box of balls and toys, chairs to sit and enjoy the view- five stars 🤩Heike M.

55We had a great time at Luke’s! Nice signs that clearly mark the spot and where to park. The yard itself is well taken care of and we really appreciated the amenities (chairs, water bowls, toys, cleanup items). I know we’ll be back soon and often!Brandi S.

55My pups and I love this spot. It's so peaceful and a nice big space to run and sniff around with a beautiful view. The parking is clearly marked and the fencing is very secure. The owners very responsive and the fencing is tall and and there's a basket of toys for the dogs to play with. I highly recommend this sniff spot! Also while driving out on the dirt road we saw about 15 to 20 deer and the field right by the road. It was a very magical experience.Jennifer B.

Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
