55Nice yard, exactly as pictured. Lots of street parking- I parked on Jamaica street & entered from that side. Yard is divided into two sections with a little fence separating them that can be left open. Back yard has a little slope. Thank you for letting us visit!Evann O.

55Exactly as advertised, perfect for a 30 minute run. Note if you have a bigger dog s/he might be able to jump the fence (as my pup tried to do). Emily P.

55Beautiful yard! Easy to find, easy entry, clean, and so nice to have a hose and water dish on a warm day. The side yard was perfect for a game of fetch, and the back was great to play soccer with my herding pup. So happy to have a nice spot in the city to let my dogs get the zoomies out and get some fresh air off leash! Hosts were accommodating and responsive. Thank you!Rachel K.

55Such a gem in DC! It's a spacious yard - plenty of room for my golden retriever to romp around in. She had so much fun fetching and sniffing! Jason provided water and a garbage can. His directions are very accurate as well. He is a great host... we will be coming back!Margaret Y.

55We had a great time in Jason’s yard with our recently rescued dog Mandy! Very spacious with lots of room to run and sniff. The shade from the trees in the morning was clutch. Access and everything was just as described in the listing. We’re excited to make this a regular visit! Caitlin R.

55Didn’t end up staying long due to the heat, but on any other day would’ve been good! Secure fenced in and grassy area and spot to sit in the shade.Sarah V.

55This was a great spot to facilitate an adoption event! It has a huge yard, so we could walk the two dogs apart from one another without being confined to tiny circles. We also had plenty of space for them to try playing with one another, take breaks, and just enjoy being dogs. Plus, the hosts were great about keeping the yard clean, providing basic dog supplies, and giving instructions in advance. I'd definitely recommend this spot!Lyndsey G.

55Our puppies had an incredibly fun playdate here! The yard was much bigger than anticipated, lots of shade to not be in direct heat and ample water for the pups. We’ll definitely be coming back! Gloria F.

55Our first time using Sniffspot and wasn't sure what to expect. The description of the location on Sniffspot was spot on. The yard was spacious and the host provided fresh bowls of water and some toys. Jake, my 12 year old staffie, had a blast. I've never seen him so happy to run free. My sincerest and deep appreciation to the hosts. Carmen d.

55A very beautiful and thoughtful space that is well-maintained. Our dog loved it, and so did we. All amenities are provided; just bring yourself and your dog(s)! It was a very hot day when we went, but there was plenty of shade for us and comfortable chairs to rest in. Would love to visit again. Carla H.

55Lovely backyard. My dog very much enjoyed ignoring me and turning off his listening skills in order to sniff everything and intently stalk a squirrel…on the outside of the fence. Caitlin V.

FAQ about our East Riverdale 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 East Riverdale 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 346 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 59 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
