55Our dogs had a great time at the pond! This is a great place for a dog that loves exploring. There are frogs everywhere that our dog loved trying to catch
The host was awesome too, she noticed our dog's arthritis and told us about new remedies for it that we did not know existed! Domenic A.

55Absolutely loved this spot! The dogs enjoyed playing in the water and running around. The area is fully fenced in which meant I could relax and just let the dogs do their thing! There's a receptacle for dog waste and for trash which was great. There was also seating and shade in the afternoon! We will definitely be back!Morgan R.

55Everything about the visit was wonderful. To see my foster dog who is fearful of things outside running and playing was amazing. The pond is perfect for a dog who enjoys swimming or just getting wet. This will definitely be a regular thing for us.Bobbie R.

55This spot is amazing. A large space and a nice trail all the way around the pond with benches to soak in the view while the pups do laps. Our dogs also loved being able to see the sheep. The host was very nice and walked us down to the spot and gave us the lay of the land. Can't wait to be back!Tyler M.

55We've been visiting this SniffSpot here and there for a year, but this is the first time we have been greeted by the sheep in the pasture next door. They were so gentle and completely unfazed by my dog from the suburbs who barked at them to play! It was lovely exposure for him. And, of course the pond and area around for full-out sprinting was as exciting as usual.Emily C.

55Kathy was very nice. Snow loved to do her big time zoomies, she was so excited she jumped straight in the pond. The Pond is cold so she did shiver the rest of the time. We would definitely take Snow back again. Ashley B.

55My recent move to PA and big change for my 7 yo St.Bernard X. I saw Kathy's signs and booked some time for "Aspen" to get spoiled. Kathy met us and gave us a quick tour and rundown of good dog parenting behavior. A picture perfect fall day! The pond is gorgeous and clean! Aspen even went in up to her belly. She got to smell and see sheep for the first time. This setting is beautiful and well-kept. Kathy allows enough nature for the dogs to get enrichment without running into trouble. The fencing is spot-on for safety. I will be coming back with another dog. Great place to give them safe freedom and even fit in some positive recall reinforcement. Thank you Kathy for letting us enjoy your property.

FAQ about our Darlington 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 Darlington area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 268 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 38 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.
