55Maverick had a fun time as always! Love the new toys that keep getting added. This was a great option for him to get some fresh air and run around during a time when we don’t feel comfortable bringing him to dog parks/daycare due to the canine cough going around. Kimberly C.

55Hi Julie Unfortunately we arrived late but, it was still alright. Mya spent the time just sniffing around, no running which again surprised me. I’m starting to think that some of the negative behavior she exhibits is related to anxiety. Perhaps she just needs an outdoor place to simply be off leash & snellArlene K.

55I want to thank you & your husband for the TLC after my fall. I really needed it. Today we made it half way down the block without any problems. That is a major improvement. I’m going to call the Animal Humane Society tomorrow to see if they might have any suggestions. It would break my heart if I give her up.🙏for wisdom & guidance.Arlene K.

55The day was beautiful but so are the grounds which are completely fenced in, allowing my dog Mya to roam throughout the yard. It was relaxing for both of us. I appreciated the welcome sign Julie left for us upon our arrival.Arlene K.

55Thanks Julie. Ollie enjoyed the big yard. As a big dog, we were comfortable with the fence and fun area to explore. Thanks again for the nice welcome, toys, and water. We will definitely come again.John M.

55My dog had a great time! Very quiet and safe. No distractions around. The space was plenty big for her to run around. Although treats and toys were provided I brought my own but there was two bowls of clean drinking water that she appreciated after playing. Thanks!James S.

55We took our two pugs here and they had a good time! There were 2 areas that our smallest could’ve sneaked out (she’s 12lbs and smart) but we blocked the areas off with some toys and she didn’t take much notice! The yard was a nice size and they enjoyed wondering around sniffing! Madison F.

55From the sweet welcome note to the lovely, clean space, and the huge bin of never-ending dogtoys (which our Brody LOVED), Downingtown Dog Haven is the perfect place for our puppy to exercise and play. There was fresh water and a fridge of treats, too! So perfect! We are so lucky to have Downingtown Dog Haven and Julie's hospitality!Lauren K.

55Perfect, private, completely fenced. We were able to park in the driveway and walk right in to the backyard. There are two dogs next door that we could see from the fence, but they went inside shortly after we got there and we didn’t have an issue. They thought of everything! There were toys, water bowls, hand sanitizer, bug spray, a hammock. My dog had a great time just hanging out. It was very peaceful. Will 100% be back!Morgan D.

55So many thoughtful touches for dogs and their humans! Cupcake and I had a blast playing in the beautiful yard, and he loved all the toys he found! Our hour went so fast because we were having such a good time. There are so many thoughtful touches like a welcome sign, an empty driveway to park in, and a mini fridge with drinks and treats! Already excited to go backDawn L.

FAQ about our Downingtown small dog parks
Are small 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 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Downingtown?
There are 232 small dog parks in the Downingtown area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
