55My two border collies had the best time roaming and running free. The privacy and hr of time is magical. And so better than a dog park with too many worries and concerns. SNIFFSPOT makes this all so easy to find the right place for you & your K9’s . The app is so easy to use. Wonderful to have found SNIFFSPOT . My borders will be weekly regulars at a SNIFFSPOT place!

55We keep coming back because it’s such a great place. Roaming running off leash is the ultimate —the grassed land the peace and quiet — calls us back every time. And the caring host Amanda. Linda F.

55The area was clean. My goldendoodle enjoyed playing in the fully fenced-in yard and relaxing in the shade. He was a very happy boy at the end of his play hour!Babette D.

55Had an AMAZING time! This spot is awesome! Very clean, big space, nice fence, lots of shade spots, tons of toys and water provided. My two heelers were exhausted after playing frisbee and enjoyed relaxing in the shade before we left. The friendly neighbor dog made an appearance on the other side of the fence and my dogs had a great time saying hi and running along the fence for a few minutes during his brief greeting. Had such a great time and will definitely be back! :) Taylor M.

55Wonderful spot!!! It is very large, fencing is secure. The neighbor did walk 2 dogs by very close to fence but I was able to distract and leash my dog until they were out of sight. Toys, bags, and fresh water was provided, my 2 pups were tired out after 30 mins, the shady spots were nice to sit and have a rest!! We had a great time!!Dawn W.

55What a wonderful spot! We’ve visited three times in less than a month. My dogs love it and it is nice and peaceful for me. The yard is very well-maintained and the grass is kept short. Sure does book up quickly so you better reserve early!Michael C.

55I love this spot!! Not a whole lot of shade for hot days, so I like to take my dogs earlier in the day when it’s cooler. They always have a blast!!! :) Taylor M.

FAQ about our Mechanicsburg small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Mechanicsburg?
There are 82 small dog parks in the Mechanicsburg area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. 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.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
