55My puppy had a wonderful time sniffing around and exploring the area. The chickens next door were great for socialization since he's never seen them before. There are plenty of sticks and toys on the floor to play fetch with. The fence was sturdy with no openings so I didn't have to worry about my puppy being off leash. Overall had a great time.Dominique X.

55Great spot. Clean area, toys and water available, thick grass, sturdy fence, easy-to-use gate, comfortable chairs and table. Hen house next door created no problems and the neighboring dogs who came out toward the end of our visit were well-mannered. Both were beneficial stimulation for our 9-month-old Lab.Jean C.

55Nikko had a nice time sniffing the yard and wasn't fazed by the chickens in the yard beside him. The yard was big and clean. He will be back for more playing and sniffing. Angela H.

55Had a nice time! Peaceful yard, backs up to the woods. Perfect for my grumpy Chihuahua to explore. She decided she was done after about 10 minutes lol but hopefully with repeat visits she’ll relax a little. Jeanne P.

55It took my pup just a little while to explore the space. There was ample space for her, and she was a little slow to the uptake. When she did though-- ooohwee! She'll love to run this wide open shaded and quiet space for endless fun especially once the weather warms up even more. I appreciate the assortment of toys, water, seating and sanitizer. We'll be back!Juanita M.

55Our dog Emma loved the yard! She also loved playing with the toys that were left there!
There were also chairs for us to sit and relax in while Emma explored, which was great.
We will definitely be back! Diane K.

55Quiet, partly shaded, parking is close to the gate (strong, eager dogs don’t have far to go!).
Host provided chairs, toys, water, waste container inside the enclosure (and it was emptied before we arrived!). The entry gate is secure, but it took me a minute to figure it out (older style but doesn’t work as I expected it to). Absolutely would return! Thank you!Rebecca D.

FAQ about our Crownsville 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.
