55If I could give it 6 stars I would! This place is a gem! The signage is very clear, and the place is easy to find. Monica is very responsive. There are plenty of dog toys, a “stick library” (I loved that), poop bags… and everything is organized and labeled! Chloe and I loved it and we will be back for sure!Rocio K.

55This place was absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking! My dogs had so much room to run and play and swim. The water was just tall enough on the edges to be a perfect height for my Staffordshire bull terrier and German shepherd pittie to stand and play in! The more you go towards the middle of the pond is deeper and actually has fish! She even has a “dog station” where there are plenty of toys and poop bags and water to choose from! This was a truly wonderful experience and we ALL got enjoyment out of it. Thank you for having us and accommodating us. By the way, my dogs LOVED your toys and I’m gonna have to get that flying squirrel now 😂 Alyssa K.

55This was my first time booking with Sniffspot, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The location was perfect for my dog—situated in a quiet neighborhood, which made it feel peaceful and secure. The yard was huge, giving my dog plenty of space to run around and burn off energy. It was also really clean and had tons of shade, which made it comfortable for both of us.
The amenities were excellent as well—there was water, toys, and poop bags provided, making the whole experience even more convenient. My dog had a fantastic time, and I felt at ease knowing everything was taken care of.
I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a safe and fun place for their dog to play!

55Such a mammoth and clean backyard! My dogs had so much fun sniffing, wrestling and exploring. Host left water and provided chairs to sit in.

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.
