55We just had the best experience here. My girls got to run, wrestle, play fetch and completely exhaust themselves-and I was not stressed at all. It seriously is such a relief having a private area. The park itself was immaculate, tennis balls provided, clean drinking water and even poop bags easily accessible all over. I will be booking again-very soon. There’s even seating. Highly worth the money. Meghan B.

55Absolutely lovely place. Secluded, clean, multi terrain, drinking water & toys were available for Rocco. A picnic table was also available so we could rest ourselves & eat our lunch. Rocco’s home now & he’s exhausted from playing & exploring. I’ve never seen him so content & happy. Thank you, Vicky ‘s Downback Private Dog Park for providing such a great area for us to enjoy!

55Exceeded my expectations!
The property, supplies and fencing were immaculate and there was plenty of fresh water provided. The terrain was a blast for my dude to climb and run through- he stopped only to rehydrate😂.
The human seating options were greatly appreciated, as well!Kate M.

55Vickies Downback is such an incredible spot for our 2 dogs to run and play. It was the first time our 10 month old puppy was off leash and she had a blast. The park is immaculate and totally secure. We'll be back!Michael S.

55My pup loved it! Plenty for him to sniff and climb on. He loved the agility see-saw. You could definitely hear dogs especially near the parking area but even though my dog is highly reactive, he didn’t seem to mind and was distracted enough not to care. I really liked that the front gate had a “vacant/occupied” sign, gave me some extra peace of mind. There was also a bucket/pail of what looked like fresh water as well as some balls/throwers for us to use! Great spot, well kept and very nice. Recommend! Kathy R.

55Annie had a blast! I arrived a bit late but thought that Annie would not want to stay the whole time since she dislikes dog parks or gets bored easily but this had rocks and trees and lots of good places to sniff!Susan C.

FAQ about our Bethlehem 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 Bethlehem 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 148 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 37 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.
Are there dog agility courses for rent in Bethlehem?
Sniffspot has dog parks with agility equipment and/or dog obstacles in or near Bethlehem. The most popular agility option is Vicky's Downback Private Dog Park.
