55Beautiful spot to take your dog and let them run. Taz had so much fun getting to be free and it was such a relief to not have to worry about other dogs. The home owner was also extremely kind and welcoming. We will definitely be returning!Emily H.

55Given the description and the reviews, I had high expectations for this sniffspot - and it exceeded my expectations! This was my first use of a sniffspot, and it couldn’t have gotten easier. The owner gave good directions to her place, and then met us there to orient us to the spot. We signed a waiver (which we expected to do), and we given a map of the place along with some tips.
This spot is quite lovely and well-tended. It backs onto a conservation area and so it’s quiet, lovely, but full of life. Our puppy was super happy to run in the area, which is what we wanted. She’s not a water dog yet (and might never be, as it’s not in her genes), but it would be a good place to go if your dog did love the water. And, there are things for humans to do on the water as well. So, the humans can feel relaxed and peaceful while their dog gets to use up their energy!April T.

55This hits all the marks one wants on a walk-beautiful, tranquil, long trails for the dog to get some stream up and do long zoomies amongst the greenery and bird song. I think I love it as much for me as I do for my dog. I do have mobility issues but it was more than doable.Jay M.

55Our favourite spot to visit! Between the beautifully maintained property, trails to explore, lake to splash in and all the wildlife this is a reactive dogs heaven! Initially took her a couple of visits to start feeling safe, she is coming out of her shell as she is realizing there is no others dogs to worry about and it’s so peaceful.
The amazing hosts have also put in a dog wash station, so no muddy paws 🐾 in the car!
Overall an amazing time every visit!Jaquie D.

55The property is amazing, A+, and I would definitely recommend it! My dog loved every minute of it. The path is well maintained and there is a couple of water access points along the way. The chairs at the end of the trails are a nice touch!
I also loved the podium and hose located at the parking lot.
The host was very kind and welcoming, we will definitely be back!
P.S. Don't forget your bug spray, like I did :)Sanja K.

FAQ about our Youngstown 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. 94% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Youngstown area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 229 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
