55This is a great, shady spot with old trees and plenty of room for running around, as well as seating in case you just want to watch your dog have fun. The host is also kind enough to leave out poo bags in case you need one (we’ve all been there right?). My puppy had a great time even though we got rained on a bit.Laura B.

55Great size yard for our puppy to run around. Plenty of water left for him which was great and a bench for us to sit on. Great communication with the host throughout. Jenny R.

55Perfect yard for your dog to get some zoomies out! The fence was high and secure all around and the neighborhood was quiet. Water was left out for the dogs and there was a nice bench for the humans to relax. Our dog had a great time, we will definitely be back! Michelle L.

55The perfect fenced in yard! My 12 year old shelter pup wasn’t used to this much space to run around, so she spent a majority of the time sniffing all the new smells. The next door cat did make an appearance, which shortened our field trip, but only because Xena couldn’t focus on anything else! 2 giant bowls of water were outside waiting for us too! 10/10 would visit again!

55This was a great spot for my dog to get some excercise. Its large enough to run back and forth and the yard is sealed around the perimeter. Will return!Scott W.

55Nice yard with great lighting for nighttime playing. Great little touches - a bench, a blanket and even hand warmers! Clean, fresh water bowls were ready and waiting when we arrived. Very thoughtful! Liz L.

55Such a great spot for Cap to play in for his first SniffSpot adventure! The yard is well kept, fully fenced, and the hand warmers & blanket were a great touch. We didn’t stay the full time (thanks, coffee on a cold day 😂), but Cap had a great time destroying a tennis ball & laying in the grass. We will be back! Sharon M.

55Kelly's yard is great; we've made repeat visits! My dog loves being able to run and it's a space enough for him to run but small enough that I don't have to follow him far when he doesn't bring a ball back or to keep an eye on him just as he wanders around to sniff and explore. Liz L.

55We had such a great time! And it IS the PERFECT yard for fetch!
The yard is super clean and the grass was soft on the dogs' bellies. Kelli was so thoughtful and left out two bowls of ice water for them.
For two dogs who can't go to dog parks, this was exactly what we needed! Thank you Kelli! We'll be back! Emily B.

55This was perfect. Kelli left 2 bowls of water with ice cubes out and a couple of toys. I definitely plan on doing again.
My dog enjoyed it. She liked watching people in the park. She has high anxiety so mid way through I could tell she was a little overloaded. I think if do shorter time more frequently, she will soon realize that we are not leaving her anywhere or returning her to the SPCA. For only being with us a month she is making so much progress.

55The yard was perfect, with one off street parking spot, balls and other toys for the dogs. The lawn was freshly mowed, and the dogs had a good time rolling on the grass. Jessica A.

FAQ about our Downingtown 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 Downingtown 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 391 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 47 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.
