55Awesome and large space for me and my dog. The directions were clear and easy to follow. The only thing was there were a decent amount of pistachios shells near the patio area and my dog got a hold and ate some. I doubt this was the host though and was likely a different costumer. I cleaned what I could but just something to look out for! Richie L.

55The host was great! Promo communication, easy access instructions and was an absolute gem. We forgot bags to clean up after ourselves (whoops!!) and she was gracious enough to bring us out something to use! It was a nice little yard!! Perfect for an off day quick little run around! We will be back!Morgan R.

55Nice quiet yard that’s easy to access and had plenty of parking out front (at least when we visited). It was very early spring and might have been just after the first grass cut of the season which left lots of piles of cut grass which our little guy tried to eat, but other than that - a very nice experience and we’ll be back!Sam R.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and definitely not the last! Our sweet dog had so much fun getting to be off leash and it was great for us to not worry about other dogs coming and causing him stress. This was a great fenced in yard for a boy to play in. We would definitely come back!Alyssa M.

55Jazzy had a blast at Anna's Sniffspot! This was our first time trying Sniffspot, as a celebration of her one year adoption anniversary - a great experience we’ll definitely try again!
The backyard was a fantastic space for her to play fetch - super nice grass and even had some good shade which helped out with it being a warmer day! Thanks Anna!! Isabelle & Will C.

55Great yard for zoomies! This location is conveniently located near downtown and just what we needed for a quick evening outing. Anna just added a doggie pool this week and we were able to use the hose on site. Toast was thrilled to cool off in the water. ☀️Allison C.

55We had such a great time throwing the ball and getting rid of our zoomies this morning. It was super hot and there was a spicket to refill our doggy water bottle and human water bottle lol. He was too interested in fetch to play in the pool, but it was a nice option to have! Shade in the side yard was much appreciated for rests between zoomies. Clean yard, no sign of poo etc. Thanks!Sandra T.

55This was perfect! Completely fenced in and allowed my pup Indians to have some off leash time and to get some training in without distractions! Super easy to find and getting to play in the pool to cool off was great. Will be back!Marissa S.

FAQ about our Columbus 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 Columbus area are 5 stars.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 16 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.
