55Amanda’s place was amazing! This was our first Sniffspot and thanks to her hospitality, it won’t be the last. The directions were easy to understand and follow and the space is kept in excellent condition. We have a 15 lb dog and a 35 lb dog and there are no spots where they could have gotten out. The fence is high enough for large dogs as well. There was a picnic table and a table with 2 chairs as well as toys, poop bags and trash can, and water with a water bowl. We brought water, but that was very thoughtful to provide it along with all those other items. Thanks for sharing your space with us!! ❤️😁Megan T.

55Always look forward to returning to this beautiful and peaceful SNIFFSPOT. It’s so well kept mowed grass and spacious pasture for my border collies to run roam and sniff away - something different than their lg fenced in yard at home. An adventure that tires them out. Just plain fun. There’s always fresh water left out by Amanda and toys if needed. And plenty of shade trees for us to cool down is a plus. Linda F.

55This Sniffspot is clean and wide open! My dog loves walking around the fencing and smelling all the smells. I appreciated the extra water and a place to put doggy bags after cleaning up after my dog. We travel 30 minutes for this one and it’s well worth it!Casey L.

55This was a great spot for our one year old Labradoodle to run around. The entire area is fenced so we did not have to worry about letting Apollo go off on his own to explore. He loved sniffing the trees and the grass. We loved that he was able to run around the huge yard and burn off some energy. 10/10 would return again. Alex P.

55The boys had such a blast - it was big enough for my Dutch shepherd & Belgian Malinois to run around play fetch. Host also had a water bowl prepared outside, & the tree shaded the area pretty well considering it was a sunny day out. Can’t recommend enough how awesome this yard is. I would only say, that if your dog is high-jumper, the fence may be a little short for them so keep that in mind when taking them out here. My mali jumped taller than the 3ft fence that surrounds the yard!Alexandria K.

55Her yard was clean and spacious. Access was very easy and host was incredibly friendly. If you have a small dog, be mindful of the gaps in the fence. My 3 month old lab pup could have gotten through if it wasn’t for his harness. Deborah N.

55Spot was in a quiet neighborhood and had plenty of room for my girl to sniff, run and play ball. There was a dig pile if your dog likes to dig. She pretty much ignored it. There is a playground area as well. Nuala sniffed there but wasn’t too interested. Great sniff spot in my area and we will be back! Amy C.

FAQ about our Mechanicsburg 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 Mechanicsburg 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 112 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 12 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.
