55I’m still pretty new to SniifSpot… this is my third visit and this is my third spot. My three pups and I had an amazing time and Chris is the host with the most. We will definitely be back regularly and soon enough to pick some black raspberries. Rasheedah S.

55I cannot stop offering friends and their dogs to come with us. Christopher is amazing and I was excited to find a hammock there today! The place is just as peaceful (and honestly therapeutic) for me as it is for the dogs. I sat in the hammock watching my mini cows happily grazed and explored. 10/10 recommend! Alana K.

55Spot was clean and well maintained. There was ample seating and it was a pretty yard. The fence was secure. I have no complaints.
The host also went above and beyond in communication and left out water for the dogs and even for me!Taylor H.

55It was as lovely as described. My dog had a blast exploring and sniffing, enjoying all the plants. His natural curiosity was stimulated. I appreciated the shady sitting area, too, at this time of year!
Christopher met me and brought fresh, cool water for Noodles and me, very thoughtful.Kristen R.

55So GREAT!! Living in the city has been a big adjustment for me and my 3 German shepherds. This space is their New Haven. So perfect. Host is overly accommodating- so grateful for the fresh cool water for pups and the chairs in the shade for me. LolBridget J.

55Had a great time running around with my pup at Oz’s! My dog likes being around other dogs, but do not enjoy the artificial grass at local dog parks. We live in a typical South Philly row home with a tiny backyard, so finding Sniffspot was a game changer! We don’t own a car, so accessibility to BSL is also a huge plus. Located in a relatively quiet residential neighborhood and has secure fences. There is a shaded area with chairs, but I brought a picnic blanket and it worked great! My pup enjoyed the afternoon sun and breeze between zoomies and we walked back home to unwind. It is super walkable to Center City surrounding neighborhoods if you and your dog are into walking through the city. Osvaldo was an amazing host. Very responsive and was understanding when we had to change our booking time last minute due to some scheduling conflict. Would definitely be back for some spring sun! Alana K.

FAQ about our Philadelphia 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 Philadelphia 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 355 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 55 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
