Plenty of room to run and lots of smells to sniff. My pups loved it!

Corrina M.

August 2023

Lovely space! Lots of room for our pup to run, and she really enjoyed sniffing around & chasing her call. Easy to get to, parking & access to the yard were straightforward. Appreciated the chairs, water bowl & toys left out for us- that was so sweet. Great spot!!

Amanda M.

October 2023

Our dogs absolutely loved this yard!! It was so big with lots of room for fetch and running. The yard is also beautiful, it was also very relaxing for me and I appreciate the chair and table they have out.

This location is lovely! It's easy to access, with an L-shaped fenced area, making it private and interesting. The landscaping is well maintained and the fence is secure (very important for my dog!). The yard was clean (no other dog poop, yay!). Martha was responsive with a few questions I had before booking. I would definitely return and highly recommend.

So happy this sniffspot opened up in state college!! Perfect size yard to play fetch or for your dog to explore. My 2 friends and I brought our 4 medium size dogs to run for an hour and they had a blast. Owner was very sweet and had clean water bowls by the hose for us and some dog hammocks for the dogs to rest on. Fencing was secure and I wasn't worried about anyone escaping. Great time there, we will be back!

My dog had a good time and had room for running. We played a little fetch and enjoyed the weather. The area was clean and the fencing was great.

Meghan J.

August 2022

We will absolutely be back! Lots of toys, baby pools for the pups to cool off in and a great space to run! I have two young Vizslas so off-leash running is crucial daily - this is a great option instead of always being in our own yard!!! Can't wait to book again this week 😀

Christie R.

August 2022

It was so nice! Definitely will be back. She seemed to enjoy it but for her first time she likes to explore. I’m sure she’ll be ready to play the next time now that she knows what to expect! Kudos to the owners! What a great idea!

The dogs had so much fun! Definitely will be back! They loved the kiddie pools and water set out for them :)

Melissa A.

August 2022

My dogs had a great time. The park was clean and quiet with lots of space to run. It's a beautiful park with lots of shade and swimming pools to splash in. I recommend this to anyone with big dogs that need space to run.

FAQ About State College 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.

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.
