55Kristen was a lovely host, she left toys and water out for the pups. We had so much fun with our two dogs! Our one dog in particular LOVED herding the big blue ball that Kristen had left out. We will definitely come back to this sniff spot! Haley S.

55Nuala loves this Sniff Spot! The yard is large and well kept. She has a lot of room to run and sniff to her hearts content. Not to mention roll around in the grass! Being able to hear the chickens is definitely a bonus for her! Amy C.

55Today was my 3rd visit to Bill's fully fenced yard. My dog, Dixie just loves to run and sniff all around. The yard is nice and clean so I don't need to be concerned about Dixie getting into anything that could harm her. I hope to visit again and again.Nancy L.

55My dog loved Bill's spacious backyard! It's really just what he (and I) needed. I am a little particular about fences because my 72-pound coonhound could jump a lower one, but I was not one bit worried about the height or the sturdiness of the fence in this yard. :)Courtney H.

55This is a great Sniff Spot! Nuala loved hearing the chickens and just exploring! So many places to sniff. The fence was great. High enough for my bigger dog to not jump and it is very well installed. Nuala liked to stick her nose between the slats to sniff 😂. The yard was very clean and there was plenty of open space to play ball or just run. Nuala really just wanted to sniff 😂. Amy C.

55Our dogs loved it! There's plenty of room for them to run and get the zoomies, or to play fetch. But there are also lots of places for them to sniff and explore. Our dogs that live in a house without a yard, so most of their experiences are on leash. It was so nice to be able to let them wander and be dogs! The yard was clean and the fence was very secure. A wonderful place to play!Jamie B.

55My dog, Dixie, visited Bill's Fully Fenced in Yard. Dixie had a supper good time running and sniffing around. The yard was nicely mowed and very clean. There was a lot of room for her to run, and it was very pleasant for me to sit under the deck and relax. I plan on returning to Bill's yard whenever I can!Nancy L.

55This was the perfect location with lots of room for my 3 huskies to enjoy! Convenient entrances into the gated yard on either side of the house. Neighbors were friendly also! A whole bucket of toys, plenty of bags for clean up, a chair to sit in with a side table and there's even a trash can provided. Couldn't have chosen a better spot for my twins to enjoy their 8th birthday! Can't recommend this place enough. Jacquelyn H.

FAQ About Mechanicsburg 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Mechanicsburg area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 187 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 370 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
