55This was a great experience, it was my first time booking a sniffspot & my dog nova had such a great time at the creek, it was muddy on the trails but we did not mind, she loves dirt, mud and water so this spot was perfect for us. I will def book this again. 10/10 experience! Yoarys A.

55This was a great experience for both me and my dog, Duke!
The trails were very fun and clear for walking through. Parking was convenient at the trail head and there was a super friendly/cute cow enjoying the morning too.
Definitely recommend!Kelly T.

55The property is as described, with paths in the woods and a running stream with some shallow little bends. The dogs had a fabulous time. It felt safe enough. I did it see any other dogs or people. If you are looking for real woods and sylvan serenity you might find the nearby bridge and roads distracting, but for within 30 minutes of Philadelphia I thought this was great. Jo B.

55The area down at the water is great! It's deep enough in some spots for a medium sized dog to swim a bit. Wiggle definitely enjoyed herself on that hot day🐾Alice W.

55Our pups loved this trail! I was a little nervous because we do have one reactive dog and I know it was possible to run into other dogs on the path but we had no problem at all! We were able to relax and enjoy them. Kirstin G.

55Fun spot, amazing to have it so close to home! Would only recommend it for dogs with excellent recall: trails go past other people’s backyards, and toward the end our dog spotted and went to chase a deer (no issues because we can recall). Overall, a beautiful day in the sunshine and had our girl smiling from floppy ear to ear Julia M.

55This was a great place to bring my dogs to let them walk around trails off leash and swim in the water. A note to anyone who has reactive dogs or dogs that don’t have good recall, the property is not fenced in and people can enter the trail from many access points so even though you are technically the only one booked, other people/dogs from the neighborhood could show up. This didn’t happen while we were there but it’s a possibility. Courtney G.

55I dog walk for a lady who is disabled and can't walk her dog. I told her about this place and her dog had a blast. There was water for the people and dogs, dog poop bags, the yard was clean and seeing the chickens were so cool. I want to bring my own dog here. We will be back. Holly S.

55This was our first time in Maria Spot and it couldn’t have been more perfect. She offered us a kiddie pool for my fur baby and she even had toys and a bowl of water for him. My fur baby had a blast specially with the chickens and he loved the kiddie pool so much that he didn’t even want to get out. The yard was amazing, super big, clean and beautiful. I give it a 10 out of 5 🤩 💯 recommend it. We will definitely come back! Thank you Maria for being such a great host!Olga M.

55Excellent Sniffspot! Clean and roomy for my pup Toby and his pup cousin Oliver to roam around in. Oliver was taken with the birds and I had to pull him away so he wouldn't bother them (although they're safe in their enclosed area). Overall a great spot, definitely would return with just Toby since he left the chickens alone and liked sniffing around.Angie C.

55Excellent and well kept space for my dogs to run around! Chickens in their coop are visible yet protected so it wouldn’t be an issue as long as your dogs aren’t reactive to birds. They provided toys and water and even some snacks for us humans :) would definitely recommend!Katie L.

55This was my second visit to Maria's place. While Frazier explored and ran around the large fenced rear yard, we had lunch on the shaded patio. Perfect setting for an outing with Frazier. Maria provides for both dogs and people. The water and goodies tray for the people was much appreciated. We'll be back.Joe P.

55Maria's place is a perfect place for this city dweller with his large dog. It has a good size fenced yard with lots of interesting things to sniff - hen house, play house, swing set, pool, hammock, etc. We brought a picnic meal to eat while Frazier explored. Maria left bottled water and snacks for us. Thsnk you, Maria, we'll be back. JoeJoe P.

FAQ About Bensalem 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. 10% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Bensalem 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 754 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1097 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.
