55My dog absolutely loved this spot! Couldn’t have asked for better. There were no ways to escape and plenty of seating with shade. Bug spray, water bottles, bubbles, and dog treats were a nice bonus! I would definitely visit again.Ana M.

55Super nice yard and set up. Perfect to play fetch or (as my dog spent at least half the time doing) roll in the grass. Easy parking was a great bonus!Katherine O.

55Great first sniff spot experience! Lovely and quiet space for anxious pups like mine. The host left us locally made treats which was very sweet, though we had to leave them (pups allergic to everything). Thank you!!! Andrea G.

FAQ about our Elkins Park 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.
