Vickies Downback is such an incredible spot for our 2 dogs to run and play. It was the first time our 10 month old puppy was off leash and she had a blast. The park is immaculate and totally secure. We'll be back!

Great hidden gem!! This place is set up like your own private dog park. Lots of land to run and lots of smells to smell 🐾

Clean and well kept, secure fencing. Peaceful place to let the pups run around for a bit. Will definately be coming back!

My pup loved it! Plenty for him to sniff and climb on. He loved the agility see-saw. You could definitely hear dogs especially near the parking area but even though my dog is highly reactive, he didn’t seem to mind and was distracted enough not to care. I really liked that the front gate had a “vacant/occupied” sign, gave me some extra peace of mind. There was also a bucket/pail of what looked like fresh water as well as some balls/throwers for us to use! Great spot, well kept and very nice. Recommend!

Annie had a blast! I arrived a bit late but thought that Annie would not want to stay the whole time since she dislikes dog parks or gets bored easily but this had rocks and trees and lots of good places to sniff!

Exceeded our expectations! So much space for our very active boy to explore, play and just be a dog. The double safety entrance is such a great idea, Rocco and I had a blast and will deffinetly be back again!

Took our dog to Vicki’s this past Sunday. It has been a year since our last visit but our dog knew where he was going and was crying in excitement. He spent the hour just running and smelling all the other dogs. Moose was one happy dog. Plus there is a sense of tranquility just sitting there looking at her beautiful place. Love Vicki’s!!

Fresh water on sight and the dogs loved it! The ground is uneven so if you have mobility or balance issues I might look for somewhere else, but we had a great time!!

This is THEEEE best sniffspot ever! Lou was like a kid in a candy store and it was so quiet and peaceful! He was completely exhausted from sniffing by the time we left. So many rocks and things to explore which he loved. Thanks so much for sharing your space! We live 40 min away but we will for sure be back because it’s that good! ❤️

We brought Margot here for the first time today with her brother and it was so special! Margot is reactive due to her past and she was so at peace in this sniffspot with no other dogs or people to worry about! I can’t thank Vicky enough for offering a safe space like this for reactive dog parents! Also it’s immaculately clean which I appreciated so much.

FAQ about our Bethlehem 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.
