55We had another great visit and my dog Baby explored quite a bit more! The yard is very large for a low energy senior dog and she enjoyed sniffing all along the fences, crossing the small bridge over the creek, and seeing new spots she didn’t explore before. The fish were pretty active today too which is fun to watch! Kyra D.

55Our first time here and the dogs really loved it! They enjoyed being dogs gamifying through tree lines and the ran the mowed paths in the back. The owner put out water and toys and filled up the kiddie pool too. My dogs usually don’t go into pools but they had a blast. I had been looking for a new spot since moving the the Dublin side and this is less than 10 minutes away. Ot was also really nice that we did let aww any neighbors. As my dogs are fence reactive sometimes. I’m sure that’s not always the case, but still a very quiet spot with tree lines. We will definitely return!Christine H.

FAQ About Columbus 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.
