55Safe yard with a high and solid fence in the back. Exterior gate and internal gate too, very safety conscious! No neighboring dogs. Some chairs and a table. Enough room to run, chase a ball, sniff around. There is a front fenced yard too, but fence is lower and is bars (not solid). On a corner, lots of street parking. Small water bowl was there (and filled), but best to bring your own water and bowl. My dog and I loved it! Will be back! Thank you!Jen H.

55Nice space and Clean. If you have a escape artist the one gate seperating the 2 yards might worry you. But once i looked i dont think he could have gotten over the second fence easily Huskies, gotta love em. Altaira Z.

55Today was our first visit to this sniff spot, and it was lovely. The yard was easy to find and enter, and had plenty of room for our large shepherd mix to run and play ball. There was water left out on the patio for her, and even a tennis ball and soccer ball in the yard. We’re looking forward to visiting again!Jessica Y.

55Ozzy and Xyla had the best time! Very clean and a nice size backyard for two bigger dogs! A great space for reactive dogs, we didn’t see any on our way in/way out and they couldn’t see at all through the fence in the backyard. We will definitely be coming back!! Kayla H.

55It was a very clean area and there were several water bowls out, thank you very much!! The fence was high enough that even with hearing one other dog for just a few minutes, that I believe was the neighbors, our dogs could never actually see them, so it was great. We have big and small dogs and of course our beagle, being a beagle, snuck down under the gate to go down the few basement steps. Once he realized there was absolutely nothing down there for him to get into though he came back up and left it alone. 
Thank you for having a garbage can out also, it helped a lot to have a place to dispose of doggy bags!Angela F.

55Fantastic spot! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful space!! Polo & Sage are new pup friends that enjoyed having a place to RUN. The backyard is secure, spacious, clean and safe. We brought our own water, but they blew through that pretty quick so I was grateful for the water! We will definitely book again and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a safe place to let their pups explore.Ashley W.

FAQ about our Harrisburg 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 Harrisburg 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 123 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 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.
