55Fantastic clean secluded beach area along the river. Our 4 dogs had a wonderful time and we didn’t have to worry about them as they explored. Exactly what we were looking for. Kristen W.

55Nice fields - nice access to a river. A horse in the nearby field enjoyed watching my dogs train. We were traveling in the area and stopped in for a couple hours of retriever training. I had some good concepts to work on such as running 4 different slot blinds between some trees. Martha W.

55This was the coolest! The river was so fun and we felt totally secluded. A little tricky to find out where to go but Erik was quick to respond with help! Lindsey W.

55The spot was great - clean & with seating for humans, but most importantly ample fenced-in space for my dog to explore off leash! We could hear a neighbor dog (mostly just when we were walking in) but couldn’t see them.Sarah C.

55We visited Channon’s on a perfect summer morning. Our dogs loved exploring the fenced area and we also ventured to the trails. Because one of my boys is reactive, I don’t get to take him on trails with me. I was thrilled to be able to experience this with him without worrying about other dogs triggering a reaction from him. We can’t wait to come back, thank you for sharing your space with us!Debbie G.

55Lovely fenced in yard with some shady trees and playset for kiddos. We added a kiddie pool for the dogs to play in and there were potty bags and water provided. Great experience!Jennifer V.

55This place was great. The owner had on-leash trails and an off-leash field. My two dogs and I spent our entirety in the field having a lot of fun just exploring that are. There were poop bags, some fun toys, and water available for the dogs plus multiple stainless steel bowls too. The only downside (as a human) was the fact that there was a mud puddle that I was warned about. The dogs found it to be the best part! Thankfully I was allowed a complimentary shampoo and hose down to wash off my Labrador who decided to cover himself with mud. Next time I will be buying a bath beforehand.
All in all, I can't wait to come back, the dogs had a blast, and I enjoyed my chance to chase them around with a stick!Lindsey R.

FAQ about our Lockbourne 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.
