Top Public & Private Dog Parks in Pataskala, OH

Great yard , was enclosed securely with fencing. My dog met the neighbors basset hounds through the fence and an adorable Doodle through the sliding glass doors. Great yard and clean.

This was a great sniff spot! The host was very nice and fencing was secure. There was water for our dog and chairs for us. While we could see other animals, they weren’t an issue at all. Our dog had a great time and wore herself out! One note: it’s likely the whole property is 2 acres, but the fenced portion is not—I would guess the fenced part is 1/2-3/4 of an acre. Again, it’s a great spot! Just an FYI if you’re making plans and counting on 2 acres.

Fully fenced yard. Goats and a horse on one side and dogs on the other side but there is a good 20ft distance between each property line and fence. It kept my dogs engaged but you don’t need to worry about them coming in contact with any other animal.

The yard was large and spacious with plenty of shade too. One side/neighbor does have a fenced area with goats and a horse but there's a gap of maybe 15ft between the yard and the neighbors' pen. The horses and goats were very calm too which made a good introduction for my dog who kept staring at them every so often. On the outside of the other side of the yard is a chicken and duck pen but the fence seemed sturdy enough if my dog wanted to lunge (she didn't and the chickens were pretty quiet actually.) The host was very nice and met me at the start to show me how to get in but left us alone otherwise.

My dog loved getting to run free for a little while! There was a horse and some goats on one side and chickens on the other but my dog loved checking them out. I was afraid he might try to get out to get closer, but he did not and the fence seemed secure enough for him had he tried.

I took my 3 rescue pits, who are very reactive to other animals and my moms 2 rescues here. There is a horse and some goats in the neighbors yard, however, there is a space in between the two yards so this didn’t cause much of a problem since they were not able to come directly up to the fence, my dogs ignored them after a few minutes. The fencing was secure enough all the way around even for my mom’s 15 lb dog. The host was very nice and the spot was very clean. I would definitely recommend this spot.

We love this spot! Quiet, spacious and always clean! We absolutely loved and appreciated the little pool! The host is so friendly and great!

Nice space for the dog to blow off some steam! We could see a few curious four legged friends through the door! Xena loooooves a pool so that was a super nice touch! We’ll be back! Would recommend!

The yard had plenty of space for my dog to roam around and sniff! There was a nice picnic table to sit at and the fence provided privacy & safety for my pup. The host was very accommodating for my reactive dog’s needs - Mickey was able to decompress and had so much fun!

This host was amazing! We took a dog who we were worried might grab cushions off the furniture and she kindly removed them before we came even though I am sure untying them all was time-consuming. The yard was wonderful. The fence was secured for the large dog we took, and was high enough that he couldn’t jump it (he is a known jumper). The yard was large, had both grass and mulch, plus the just left fresh water, toys, and poop bags. There is a trash can and hand sanitizer. Lots of places for humans to sit and relax too. Overall perfect place!

Lori’s SniffSpot is Amazing! My two golden retrievers were tired after 30 minutes from running in the large, open space. One of mine was obsessed with the smells from the chickens which Lori thoughtfully placed in the coop prior to our visit. The spot it very clean so I didn't have to worry about my dogs picking up random stuff in their mouth. I'll definitely be back.

My dog had a great time running around! Lori was a gracious host and left a goodie bag of treats and poop bags. There was water bowls for the dog and water bottles for humans. She also supplies balls and frisbees for fetch. Will be returning!

If I could give this Sniffspot more than five stars, I would! It’s such a great spot and the host thought of everything you’d need for a rewarding time with your pup. Highly recommend!

Lori's SniffSpot is wonderful! Our dogs had such a great time exploring and running around. Lori is a great host and kept in touch before our visit to make sure we had a good set up that worked for us. Highly recommend!

We loved this spot! Very clean and lots of room. We both have the two golden retrievers that don’t retrieve or really play with each other! Kenzi was in love with the chickens she just kept going and laying by the coop. Sugar loved all the smells. And she even did some of the agility course which I was amazed at! My trainer said that is good for her self confidence as she has none! We got them to run even though neither of them know how to fetch. But they got a good hour of exercise and so did we! We definitely plan to return.

I visited today for the first time here and first time using sniffspot. It was everything I could have hoped for and more! I have a pretty energetic GSD and she can be reactive to cars and dogs, so outside time is challenging sometimes. This place was perfect for her, and she didn't react at all to anything she could see. I was worried to be honest, she'd be distracted, but she wasn't. There was a huge space, with other side areas like an obstacle course and patio w splash pool and water bowls. A wash off area w warm and cold water and all the accessories one might need even towels! Lori left out Snacks for me and my dog Oli, toys and a little goodie pack of poo bags and treats. I can't wait to come back again, it was perfect!! Oli is crashed out as I type, she had more room to run than she has ever had in her life and she's 4yo. It's also an amazing price, best money I've spent all year!! Can't say enough good things, we will definitely be back....maybe to actually see the chickens next time. Lori accommodated Oli's possible reaction to them by having them inside their coop and the chickens were smelled and heard but not seen and Oli was perfect! This might be the best training for my reactive, but kind hearted big shep. I wish I'd learned about this sooner!!

Wow, what a beautiful yard! My dogs loved the big yard. Though they seemed more interested in seeing what the chickens were up to 😂 (lasted like 5 minutes), they were tired in 20 minutes from all the running! Lori left out some cool drinks to beat the heat and there were a bunch of amenities for both owner and dog! We’ll be back for sure!

My 4 dogs were worn out after 25 minutes. Great spot. Great host. Everything you need is available. A#water #toys #treats and the chickens were fun to introduce dogs to. Safe spot for my blind girl, too.

Always enjoy taking Bella to Lori’s . It’s such a relaxing place and we enjoy bringing subs or a pizza and having a picnic lunch in the gazebo . Lori’s has been a lifesaver during the saleing of our home as we couldn’t leave Bella there during the open house or inspection . Thank you Lori for everything:)

This spot is always very clean, and it’s very secure. Neither my husky or my shih tzu found anywhere to escape. Lori puts out fresh ice water for the dogs, and there is always hand sanitizer, sun screen and big spray available. Our fave sniff spot in the area!! My dog even knows when we’re here now and gets excited. There is a chicken coop but Lori always locks them away for me without issue becos my dog is very excitable. 10/10
