55We had a really nice time here. It was a beautiful and relaxing place to spend some time. The area is very clean and welcoming. Beautiful backyard. My pup had a great time fetching the ball, sniffing around and cooling her paws off in the pool. The stone tiles, I am sure we're cool for her to lay on after her adventure. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your backyard. CHERYL H.

55Beautiful yard and two very large horse pastures for frolicking. There is also part of the property that is wooded/shaded with a nice little picnic table and some toys/tennis balls. The host provided specific directions on how to enter before we arrived and was there to greet us and share additional information. We left early, but only because my pup was so tuckered out after about 30-35 minutes of running and sniffing! An excellent spot; we will definitely return!Jessica J.

Absolutely worth the 1.5-hour drive! Karen’s property has such a peaceful, welcoming energy—you can feel the good vibes the moment you arrive. The land is spacious, clean, and beautifully kept, with calm, gentle horses that add to the serene atmosphere. Karen is an incredible host—warm, kind, and thoughtful. She had fresh water ready and even a doggy pool filled up for my pups, which they loved. My dogs had the best time running free, exploring, and cooling off. Truly a special spot—we’ll 100% be back! 🐾💛Nikki T.

55So much fenced in land for doggies to explore. Appreciated the freshly filled pool so I could cool them off from time to time. Stocked with toys and fresh water and plenty of shade for the humans. My babies had a blast and will definitely book again in the future. Lindsey C.

55My pup had a great time. Endlessly fetched, played in the pool. She saw her first horses, and decided they didn't want to play fetch. We didn't get to the pasture, just stayed in the back yard. She left, one tired and happy pup.CHERYL H.

55Julie is a wonderful host! It’s a wonderful space. My dogs loved running around and exploring! We (and they) really appreciated that she took the time to put out two bowls of water for them! There is so much space to explore & lots of shade for them to lay down and cool off when it’s hot out! Jackie B.

FAQ About Downingtown 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.
