55Very cute yard perfect for a game of fetch. Only time I saw another dog was when one walked by. I didn’t realize it was supposed to rain and the host left an umbrella out for me! There’s the tiniest little space in the fence that they did a good job blocking with a stick. My dog checked it out a couple times, but couldn’t figure out why she wouldn’t fit through it lolDelia K.

55This was my dogs first experience of being off the leash and running freely and she loved every minute of it! Of course she found a spot near the gate where the fence bottom wasn't down all the way, and probably would have tried to get out if I wasn't there, but all in all it was a very good first visit! Besides checking everything out we played fetch with a ball and before you knew it, it was time to go. I didn't see a water faucet, but I wasn't looking to hard, next time I would like to know exactly where it is and if I need to bring our own bowl. Chrys A.

55I work every weekend so Im so glad I finally got to try this spot! The chickens were fun and the pool was the perfect depth for our dogs who don't swim but want to be up to their tummies in water. Very nicely kept yard! Laura M.

55What a fun spot! Tons of tree coverage and open space. Good for those hot days you need some shade, or if you want to soak up the sun. The pool is fun but my dog had WAY more fun exploring the underbrush trying to hunt rabbits who were likely eating from the raspberry bushes. :) I enjoyed the chickens while my dog explored. Definitely listen to the owner directed directions as google will NOT take you there. As a heads up, there are 2 railway crossings. Don't make my mistake and go across the big marked one with lights, there's a smaller, private drive that goes across the tracks just a smidge further. That is the one you want. Rachel F.

55A lot of shaded yard to romp and play! Tank pool was great to cool off in after lots of running and sniffing. My dogs loved investigating the chickens! Would come back.Leah T.

55Kate An’s place is open and clean. We don’t have a fenced yard at home, so this open space made them very happy! They ran to their heart’s content. Thank you, Kate An, for sharing your lovely property.Rita H.

55This was Petra’s first SniffSpot visit and she seemed to love it. The area is clean with a LOT to sniff/explore and was perfect for our dog-reactive pup. Petra was glued to the chickens most of the time- who, thankfully didn’t mind her at all. The directions were clear and made access to the spot easy to locate. We’ll be back! Kelly R.

55My dog loved exploring this spacious spot. The pool was a huge hit. Everything was clean and we loved the more open spaces to run and roll. It was especially hot today, so I wished I had brought a chair, but there were some great tree stumps to sit on. Melissa O.

FAQ about our South Saint Paul 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 South Saint Paul area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 291 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.
