55Such a nice yard! Very safe for my dogs, had lots of smells and different types of landscaping for them to explore - bushes, trees, rock and wood piles, etc. They enjoyed standing on the raised deck to look out over the yard and fences too. Lots of room to play as well. We’ll hopefully be back soon! Alicia J.

55This spot was great! My dog is reactive to people & dogs and homeowner was very respectful of that. My dog loved it, he got to run around and sniff. There were some toys in the yard he loved. We will be back if in the area! Maria W.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and our rescue dog, Ruthie's, first time off leash outside since we adopted her a year ago. Ingram's Private Dog Park was just as posted. The host, Elizabeth, kept us in the loop regarding parking, accessing property, etc. We felt secure letting Ruthie off leash in the yard, fencing was good. Lovely back yard with shady spots for our shade-loving girl and lots for our hound dog to sniff. Big bowl of fresh water was much appreciated. Very clean and well maintained, and host, Elizabeth, was very pleasant and accommodating. Would do this again. Ruthie had fun 🐶🐶🐶Patty F.

55Wonderful place to take our two dogs who normally wouldn't be able to run around and have fun in a yard since ours isn't fenced in. Great communication and flexibility with our process we had for entering and exiting with our crew. Would recommend and will book again in the future! Jason V.

FAQ about our Akron 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Akron area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 171 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 34 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
