55A great little spot! I am so glad this one opened up, it is absolutely perfect for running my dog and playing fetch! It was clean, easy to access and the owner was very easy to communicate with! I will note that if you have a smaller dog (chihuahua/shitzu ish size) that is an escape artist, that one side of the fence is slightly raised off the ground and could allow for a tiny one to slip through, but I felt totally fine with my medium-large dog. It's also right next to the Black Cat Cafe so you can run your pup and then run over for some food! We will be back soon! Amanda M.

55The Barking Lot was awesome. It had baby pools that could be filled with the hose, a baby pool filled with balls like a ball pit, a dog house, fire hydrant, and a spot that your dog can dig in. They provided water bowls, water, dog treats, tennis balls, towels, bug spray, and even human snacks. Can’t wait to go back!!Alyssa W.

55Had an absolutely awesome pawty! Despite the rain, Alena made sure all humans were dry, and all pups still had a blast! Treats, toys, towels - she had anything you could need. We cannot wait to have more parties at The Barking Lot very soon! Sarah M.

55I’ve been here countless times in the summer, so to now enjoy it in the winter I must say, The Barking Lot never disappoints! It was pretty cold today but Alena is so thoughtful in the amenities she offers, such as a keurig for hot chocolate or coffee and hand warmers! My dogs love it every time they come here, it’s my go-to! Shannon P.

55Great yard and even better host! There’s plenty of fun things out for the dogs and their people, plus there was a little photo op set up which was adorable. There is a slight decline that might be a little slippy when it’s muddy but I didn’t have any issues. There’s also some traffic noise but after a few minutes of acclimation my pup just tuned it out. Overall, we had a really great afternoon. Samantha T.

55My pups and I had a great visit! Alena was great with communication before arriving. She was very sweet and kind. She offered snacks, hot chocolate bar, wipes, towels, water, and there is a fun photobooth with headpieces if you want. Once my dogs got done smelling every inch of the yard they had fun running and playing. Nice secure tall fence. It is close to busy road which you could hear. For my dogs its not an issue but for other it could be. Love the set up for the season. Yard is a little muddy but if you've ever owned a dog that runs around a lot in the winter you know it'll be muddy. We'll be back for sure!Sarah Y.

FAQ about our Newtown Square 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Newtown Square 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 401 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 49 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.
Does Newtown Square have any fully fenced dog parks?
Sniffspot has 401 fully fenced dog parks in or near Newtown Square. Browse all fully enclosed options.
Where are good dog hiking trails near Newtown Square?
