55A great little spot! I am so glad this one opened up, it is absolutely perfect for running my dog and playing fetch! It was clean, easy to access and the owner was very easy to communicate with! I will note that if you have a smaller dog (chihuahua/shitzu ish size) that is an escape artist, that one side of the fence is slightly raised off the ground and could allow for a tiny one to slip through, but I felt totally fine with my medium-large dog. It's also right next to the Black Cat Cafe so you can run your pup and then run over for some food! We will be back soon! Amanda M.

55I don’t know who had more fun - the dogs or my daughter! We had an absolute blast at The Barking Lot this morning. The place is totally decked out for Halloween and we couldn’t get over the details. We especially loved the hay display; my female chi loved jumping up and down the three levels! My male chi ran all over the yard. The hour flew by - we will be back, soon! Will spread the word about this great spot on our Instagram! Sarah M.

55The Barking Lot was awesome. It had baby pools that could be filled with the hose, a baby pool filled with balls like a ball pit, a dog house, fire hydrant, and a spot that your dog can dig in. They provided water bowls, water, dog treats, tennis balls, towels, bug spray, and even human snacks. Can’t wait to go back!!Alyssa W.

FAQ about our Media 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 Media 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 388 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.
