55The yard is perfect for my two crazies! The fence was very secure. I appreciated the shade from some trees and chairs. We entire playing with some of their toys. I like that it's not at a home and parking was super easy. There was gun fire at the range in the distance but my dogs didn't seem to notice at all. Jill B.

55We had trouble finding the entrance to the yard and Laurie took the time to personally come to us and show us where it was. Since we had trouble finding it and no one was booked after us she allowed us to extend our time to make up for time lost looking for the place. Mandy R.

55My Boston terrier and Labradoodle loved the space. It was large enough to play catch for hours and even though we could hear other animals it didn’t matter to the dogs. They were having a blast!Austin S.

55Bruno always has fun at this Sniff Spot… since today it decided to warm up a bit we were super exited to get out and run freely. It was a little wet and spots were still snow covered but we enjoyed every minute of it. And as always he played his hardest when I told him we only had 5 more minutes left.Jessica Q.

55My service dog Mesa and I had a great time at this location! The fence is high and secure, making it feel very private. There's more than enough room to run, play fetch, or work on training. The addition of a toy box, water bowl, and seating area were huge bonuses. The only thing I wanted to note is that there are a few holes-- if you or your dog weren't paying attention, you could step in one and possibly hurt yourselves, but they are very easy to spot. As long as you are the tiniest bit aware of your surroundings, you'll be fine. Mesa and I will definitely be back! Samantha L.

55I had some difficulties with opening the gate. One quick call and help was on the way! Thank you so much to the Playful Pups Retreat owners and staff for your help! This was our first Sniffspot adventure. And that’s exactly what my girl did the first 15 minutes - she sniffed everything! And while we brought two of her favorite toys, she was much more interested in the toys available to play with. This was a great first experience and we will definitely be back!Amy Y.

55This is a nice open space. Probably best for medium and large dogs - natural environment with uneven terrain. Milo loved it and paused often pointing his nose up (and down!!) to soak it all in. Samantha G.

Christina's 10 Acre Unfenced Private Dog Park In Elizabethtown | Sniffspot
55Great property for an off leash dog to explore. Good deer trails with lots & lots of sniffs to be sniffed! Wear your mud boots- it's sloppy at spots. The land is probably better equipped for medium & large dogs with owners who don't mind getting a little dirty. My only advice to the host is to mark your property lines & let your guests know how it's marked. I saw some trees with purple paint & some blue ribbons on other trees & wasn't sure what was what - Definitely don't want to be wandering on someone else's property uninvited. Overall it was a super fun adventure for my 2 year old pit mix whose best day ever is any day spent in the woods! We'll definitely be back. Only took one pic since we were having so much fun exploring! lea s.

FAQ about our Elizabethtown 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Elizabethtown 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 136 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
