55Chris’s SniffSpot is amazing. Tons of parking, I went in the afternoon and there was shade and even a nice breeze. My dog spent the first 20 minutes just smelling everything, and then we played non-stop fetch. After one hour I now have the most chill reactive dog. Will definitely be coming back.Ona M.

55This space was perfect for my older, reactive dog to walk around and sniff all the things. Christopher was incredibly accommodating, providing water for my dog and drinks for my husband and I. We plan to come back very soon. What a great experience.Crysta D.

55Our dog had a great time. It was good to get to see here explore a green and dirt place. We were surprised to find a place in the city since this is really a vacant lot with some grooming and lots of plants and weeds. This "ranch" had shade and Chris put out lots of water for our dogs and cold drinks for us with a bench. We will return. Candace W.

55My dog loves it here. We’ve been numerous times and each time Kirk has a great time. There’s enough space and stimulation that you’ll be taking your pup home to sleep off the fun all day. Bianca G.

55Amazing spot! Host left out fresh water for my dog and a cooler with water bottles/other refreshments. We had a great time, plenty of room to run around and for your dog to sniff. Easy getting in to the gate and parking right out front. Would definitely recommend and go again. Mia P.

55Nice little spot to walk around securely in the city. Paulie and I are working on off-leash training, so this was perfectly sized. The toys, water and bug spray were a nice touch, thank you for that! Margaret L.

55This location is huge! When I approached the gate it was opened for us and such a cute little cooler filled with drinks and even an Icee pop! Such a sweet touch. My dog lost his mind when we let him free. He ran circles around the free open space. Very pleased! Jessica R.

55Christopher’s spot is really fun! Of course the top reason we’ll return is accessibility (walked home to South Philly with the dogs to wind down!) but if your dog likes to explore, they will enjoy hanging out here. A lot of different textures and elements not to mention the little “forest” with paths for dogs to chase each other. Christopher made it extra special with a picnic area with several comfortable chairs and a table for you to enjoy your peace while the pups tire themselves out. He was great with communication throughout out stay and had prepared a cooler full of water for humans and dogs. Highly recommend!
One note- the fences around the property is super secure, but they are the wired type and your dogs can see and hear everyone walking by. There weren’t a lot of activities for the two hours we were there, but we did see a couple of dogs on walks who were perfectly calm and not reactive. Alana K.

FAQ about our Philadelphia fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Philadelphia?

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
