55Very wide open area behind a cell tower. There are no amenities so as long as you plan for that you will be fine. It would be a great place to train recall or fetch. The grass was real long so Millie looked like a deer loping through the field. The creek was nice to look at, but not accessible there was too much underbrush. Bethany S.

55We had a great time at this Sniffspot. There are lots of good areas to sniff with an old barn, several fields, and some nice wooded tree lines to explore only 15 minutes from the center of Charlotte! There was a tree down on one of the fences so we chose to keep our dogs on long-line leashes, but I don't think the dogs had any less fun as a result. Kathy was very nice and helpful and even filled a doggy pool for the pups to cool off in.Muriel S.

55A very nice space for my dog to run! It took a minute to figure out where to go and the fences are a bit iffy so it might not be good for an escape artist. My dog enjoyed her run, we played frisbee, and she had a good roll in the grass. Bring water!Liz M.

55Rico and Remy had a wonderful time at 4 Paws Ranch. The space is open and well manicured. There are flying toys, throw toys, water for humans and dogs. Our pups had the best time and they literally explored the entire property. Except for the creek. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much it was a great visit. Dona M.

55Allison has thought of everything you could even remotely want while you’re playing at 4 paws ranch. She even remembered it was my pups birthday and left him a goodie bag! She is an hour from our house and I gladly make the drive each and every time because we just have a blast. Thank you Allison!!Kassandra S.

FAQ about our York 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 York 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 332 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 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.
