55This was our first Sniffspot experience and definitely not the last! Our sweet dog had so much fun getting to be off leash and it was great for us to not worry about other dogs coming and causing him stress. This was a great fenced in yard for a boy to play in. We would definitely come back!Alyssa M.

55Jazzy had a blast at Anna's Sniffspot! This was our first time trying Sniffspot, as a celebration of her one year adoption anniversary - a great experience we’ll definitely try again!
The backyard was a fantastic space for her to play fetch - super nice grass and even had some good shade which helped out with it being a warmer day! Thanks Anna!! Isabelle & Will C.

55Great yard for zoomies! This location is conveniently located near downtown and just what we needed for a quick evening outing. Anna just added a doggie pool this week and we were able to use the hose on site. Toast was thrilled to cool off in the water. ☀️Allison C.

55We had such a great time throwing the ball and getting rid of our zoomies this morning. It was super hot and there was a spicket to refill our doggy water bottle and human water bottle lol. He was too interested in fetch to play in the pool, but it was a nice option to have! Shade in the side yard was much appreciated for rests between zoomies. Clean yard, no sign of poo etc. Thanks!Sandra T.

55This was perfect! Completely fenced in and allowed my pup Indians to have some off leash time and to get some training in without distractions! Super easy to find and getting to play in the pool to cool off was great. Will be back!Marissa S.

FAQ about our Columbus 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.
