55Nice spot in south Arlington! For starters this is a super dog friendly neighborhood, I recognize the owner has zero control of this but we saw 6 dogs in a 3 block radius of the house. Our dog is incredibly dog reactive (and if yours is too just something to be aware of!) we had to drive around the neighborhood a few times to wait until there weren’t dogs near the house. Not a big deal but something to note. Maybe we just picked a popular dog walking time! No dogs or neighbors were spotted once we got into the yard which was awesome. The top part of the yard is great for light fetch. It’s not huge but it’s flat which my dog loved. The gully was a bit slick and steep because of some rain, that combined with the high grass made it a bit tricky to navigate. Not impossible but something to note if you have limited mobility or balance you probably will want to avoid that area. My dog enjoyed prancing through the tall grass and running around in it! I recommend bringing a couple extra balls if you plan on playing fetch in the gully are. The long grass made it tricky to locate them if my dog wasn’t paying attention.

FAQ about our York Springs 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.
