55Great secluded spot! The fenced in area is large and there were some short trails that led to a stream they could splash around in. There were some barking dogs next to the stream and in the distance, but other than that it was pretty quiet and great for my dog reactive dog. Host was very kind and answered all of our questions.

55Channon’s place is a goldmine - so glad we finally made it back. Tons of space to run, explore, sniff and play. Great setup, so much more than just a backyard even in the fenced in area. Friendly host and nice extras. Bridget H.

55This place is a gem! The fenced portion feels larger than an acre and has little wooded areas my dog liked sniffing. Suggest arriving a couple mins early so you can message the host- sniffspot’s messages are a little delayed, I was confused at first about whether or not to go in. But we had a really nice time!Alexa H.

55Channon was a great host and her property is beautiful! She had the firepit going on this chilly morning, which was so nice. Our dog Loved running around and the fencing was secure. We also enjoyed the trails and seeing pictures of her Dobermans. Loved the Halloween decor as well! This is a wonderful spot and we can't wait to come back!Patty W.

55Big yard with lots of activities (toys, pool, etc) for the dogs and lots of places for the humans to hang out as well. No gaps in the fence so i didn’t have to worry about my little weenie dogs escaping. Great communication from the host prior to us getting there.

55The house was easy to find as well as entering the backyard. I brought toys which were unnecessary since there were plenty available. My pup hasn’t been himself the last few days after losing his playmate after being hit by a car, so he wasn’t interested in the toys anyway, and just wandered around and got lots of sniffing and exploring in. There was a pool too which was filled and ready if he’d chosen to use it. The yard was secure except for a couple spots that if you have a determined dog that wants to escape. My other dog was an escape artist and would’ve had no problem getting out in s few spots. The fence is tall and solid except in one area of lattice fencing that a jumper could clear. I felt the need to keep an eye in that area just in case he got any ideas. Along the back fence there is some gap under the fence too, presumably from digging dogs. There was plenty of seating and shade too which is great on these hot days. Cat P.

55This was just what my dogs needed for a little romp after work. We were short on time as the sun was about to set, so I looked for a place in town that was fully fenced and safe for small and large dogs. They had a great time sniffing and just enough room for a little game of "tag" (aka you chase me, then I'll chase you). I also had enough room to throw the ball with a small Chuck-It.
Cathy was so nice and accommodating! She provided a big water bowl for the dogs, bottled water, poo bags, hand sanitizer, and paper towels. There were signs posted on the gate that were visible from the street, it was well lit, and minimal distractions outside the yard. We only heard a couple dogs barking a few houses away and the highway in the background.
Because we arrived at sunset, I was unable to take good pictures. I brought 5 dogs, all seniors except the medium size dog. There was a Chihuahua, Schnauzer, Boxer mix, Vizla, and Dane/Mastiff mix. Joey T.

FAQ about our Columbus dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Columbus?

How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water 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.
How much do Sniffspot dog water parks cost?
Dog water parks in the Columbus area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog water park is Fun City Yard. The most expensive dog water park is Fun City Yard. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a dog water park?
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks.
