55My dogs had a great time playing fetch and smelling all the new smells! The privacy fence is perfect for my reactive dog. The slight slant wore him out a little quicker which was good for me! Will definitely go back! Danielle B.

55Perfect for my reactive dog to have a positive off leash experience. Also, the yard proved to hardly be muddy which was definitely a bonus since the weather has been not great lately.Pam K.

55Our two pups had a wonderful time enjoying the sun and fun in Emily’s yard!! The yard was as described, fully fenced, with seating & shade for us humans and ample space / grass for the pups to explore.
Emily was quick and courteous in her correspondence and we look forward to making a return trip soon! Crystal L.

55Very nice clean spot! Emily had water out for my dog and some dog toys :)
Unfortunately, my dog was having a tough morning when we went and just couldn’t seem to have fun when we got there. Hoping we can enjoy it more next time! And maybe try the doggy pool!Sandy T.

55We just stopped for a few minutes on our roadtrip from Philly to Chicago to let our dogs off leash. The yard was clean, secure and large! The dog pool and bowl of water were much appreciated! My reactive dog was able to enjoy himself (just be careful if you have a reactive dog when leaving as there are other dogs in the neighborhood). Thanks! Shana J.

55Will be my go to spot to take my dogs! They loved being free and smelling everything. Hopefully they will get used to going and have more fun playing with toys than just sniffing the perimeter 😅Sarah K.

55Nugget had the best time! The hosts were very responsive and let me know where to park, how to enter, etc. There was some poop in the yard (to be expected when going anywhere with dogs IMO) so just watch your step! They also had a dog bowl, toys, and the kiddie pool out for me to use for the bonus water features, which was perfect on this super hot day. The yard is also huge so my dog had so much fun running around for the hour. Thanks times a million! Danielle K.

55Emily’s space was lovely. Fully fenced and private. We have a reactive dog which makes visiting dog parks impossible. We felt safe and comfortable here. We even had access to the hose which allowed our water loving dog to have a great time :)Ashley V.

55It was a wonderful spot. My dog really enjoyed it. We are doing this to get some exercise which was perfect. It was very safe and my fur baby really enjoyed it. The place was clean fully fenced and I highly recommend trying this Sniffspot out as we will return. Veronica B.

FAQ about our New Kensington 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.
