55Great yard, thanks for the treats and toys. We had a fun time.
The only downside was that it is close to route 40 and out dog, who's reactive to cars didn't like looking at the cars on the street. Once we got in the yard itself, we had a great time. Thank you for sharing your yard. Ashley S.

55Perfect place to allow our fur baby to run around as our evening winds down. JJ’s provided us with bottled waters, fresh water for our pup, hand warmers, a variety of dog toys, and also dog treats that were specifically labeled for our pup. We live in a townhouse in Columbia, that have a patio that is approximately 10 feet by 10 feet. The dog parks have too many dogs playing at one time, so JJ’s yard is perfect for a quick run around in the yard before dinner. Tanita E.

55Gorgeous large yard with easy access. My dog loves it! 2nd visit here and the first was perfect. This one was great as well but there were large felled tree branches in the yard. We recently had a big wind storm so it's understandable. Would definitely visit again! Deidre V.

55This was Echo's first time going to a sniffspot location. I can't think of a better place. Very clean. Lots of places for a dog to sniff and explore. Best for zoomies. Echo is a 16 month old Labradoodle with very high energy. She had so much fun. It wore her out and she snored the whole way home.
Echo wants to go back which we will do many times.
If the rain comes, there is a porch to stand under so your water dog can still run and play.
I recommend this place 100%DeEtta D.

FAQ about our Pikesville dog parks
