What people say about dog parks around Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

Donata P.

April 2023

Large and clean yard, secure fencing. Water bowls and plenty toys for the pups to play with. My boys had a blast with Heather's pups running and sniffing together.

April 2023

Everything was perfect! Instructions to make the first visit comfortable and easy to find. The yard is gorgeous and the host goes the extra mile. We’ll be back!

Jen H.

July 2023

Safe yard with a high and solid fence in the back. Exterior gate and internal gate too, very safety conscious! No neighboring dogs. Some chairs and a table. Enough room to run, chase a ball, sniff around. There is a front fenced yard too, but fence is lower and is bars (not solid). On a corner, lots of street parking. Small water bowl was there (and filled), but best to bring your own water and bowl. My dog and I loved it! Will be back! Thank you!

I just started using Sniffspot a few weeks ago and I couldn’t be happier with the places I found. This one is really close, clean, and the host was very gracious I will be going again!

This was our first Sniffspot and it was great! Lauren has the perfect backyard for dogs to run and play.

Nice space and Clean. If you have a escape artist the one gate seperating the 2 yards might worry you. But once i looked i dont think he could have gotten over the second fence easily Huskies, gotta love em.

Today was our first visit to this sniff spot, and it was lovely. The yard was easy to find and enter, and had plenty of room for our large shepherd mix to run and play ball. There was water left out on the patio for her, and even a tennis ball and soccer ball in the yard. We’re looking forward to visiting again!

Have visited multiple times, continues to be an excellent location for my high-energy dog! Enough space for him to run, and the fence (solid, high) makes for good training in a safe location.

Ozzy and Xyla had the best time! Very clean and a nice size backyard for two bigger dogs! A great space for reactive dogs, we didn’t see any on our way in/way out and they couldn’t see at all through the fence in the backyard. We will definitely be coming back!!

James P.

December 2023

it was a great space for our dogs to run around. Fully fenced in which was nice because we didn’t have to worry about him getting out, she did provide water, but we chose to use our own but overall great experience.

Braxton had a blast running around the backyard! We live in an apartment complex so we don’t have anywhere for him to run free so he enjoyed it. We will definitely be returning.

It was a very clean area and there were several water bowls out, thank you very much!! The fence was high enough that even with hearing one other dog for just a few minutes, that I believe was the neighbors, our dogs could never actually see them, so it was great. We have big and small dogs and of course our beagle, being a beagle, snuck down under the gate to go down the few basement steps. Once he realized there was absolutely nothing down there for him to get into though he came back up and left it alone. Thank you for having a garbage can out also, it helped a lot to have a place to dispose of doggy bags!

Ashley W.

Fantastic spot! Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful space!! Polo & Sage are new pup friends that enjoyed having a place to RUN. The backyard is secure, spacious, clean and safe. We brought our own water, but they blew through that pretty quick so I was grateful for the water! We will definitely book again and highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a safe place to let their pups explore.

Great yard space and shaded area. I would recommend shutting both gates to be sure dogs are secured. Will be back!

Mark G.

October 2024

Quiet location, easy access, and a secure yard with covered patio. Plenty of space for a game of fetch and to run my shepherd.

Amanda M.

November 2024

Lovely spot! Be mindful that the gate could be pushed open by a big enough dog, we had to move a chair in front of it to feel comfortable our dogs wouldn't accidentally open it.

We had a wonderful first visit at Lauren's Sniffspot! Easy to get into and the directions provided were accurate. The area was clean and the fence is secure. It's a little small for *big* dogs, but my service dog is a labrador retriever and this made for a perfect play break during my work day. It's sufficiently sized for training, too. We will absolutely return!

My dog had a super fun time running around and chasing his ball here! It was great to see him so happy and full of energy! Great size yard, we had a blast, thank you!

Area is securely fenced and private with lots of room to run and roam. Dorothy was very welcoming and hospitable during our visit.

FAQ about our Harrisburg dog parks
