55Really secure fence, nice big open yard. Perfect for fetch or multiple dogs playing but also low distraction enough to be really good for training. Fence is solid so reactive dog friendly. Jackie B.

55Large space with plenty of plants to sniff and several nice seating areas. Plenty of shade as well. This time of year there are a lot a blackberries so wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty (which you probably would do anyways).Tara P.

55We all LOVED Laura’s yard! Great place to stop and let the dogs run off some energy on our way through. Nice big space with lots of plants/flowers/things for dogs to sniff and multiple spots for the humans to sit and relax. Amelia S.

55Superb spot! Nice big area for our run-loving dog to get up some great speed, while at the same time, has lots of trees, stumps, and other features to sniff and explore. Julia L.

55Great spot as always. Love that we can use the patio and the dogs love all the space.
There was an antler bone left out which my dogs wanted to be possessive over so I put it on the chair on front porch. Natalie M.

55Laura is so so kind. She is “closed” for winter and didn’t need to allow our dog the freedom to use her yard, but she did. A wonderful space to throw a ball with our girl. For those wanting to rent any space: make sure you message in advance and get a response back that confirms availability first out of consideration!Brooke L.

FAQ about our Columbus 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.
