55My dogs LOVED rolling around in the grass, chasing balls, and exploring. We have a teeny "yard" ourselves, so it was a joy to play in this one! The amenities for people are great too. I enjoyed sitting in one of the chairs. The treats were a thoughtful and well enjoyed bonus! Erica S.

55My puppy Mica is 14 weeks old, and since we live in an apartment she has never got to run off leash. This yard was great for her first time off leash. Felt very private and was a good size. Although she was a bit nervous/unsure of what to do at first she quickly warmed up to the environment and had fun.
We will definitely be back! Julie N.

55So grateful for this awesome Sniffspot! My dog is learning the “pool” command quickly and loves to sniff for the treats I bring along in the ball pit! The shade is really helpful for us both. Thanks always!MaryEllen W.

55Easy parking, well-marked gate for entry. The yard is large, with room to explore and play, but also seating for humans around a ball pit, and a great hammock. Exactly what my curious but timid pup needed to burn off some energy outside of our tight city neighborhood.Maddie W.

55We had a great time in Tracy’s space! My dog struggles with people reactivity and her trainer wanted to meet in a neutral space so we could introduce her to her small child. The space features a large fenced yard with lots of seats for the humans. She also had fresh water and a huge bucket of toys for the dogs! We also had the opportunity to meet Tracy and one of her employees, Jordan, and they were both so kind! I would recommend this space to anyone! Katlyn L.

Our two dogs had not seen each other in awhile, and this spot was a wonderful place for them to work out all of their excitement! The area is very clean & charming. Great toys and we loved the hanging tug rope! We will visit again!

55A great spot for an intro between my foster dog and another dog. They were very excited to see a bunch of deer in the field behind the Sniffspot and my foster hound made sure to keep an eye on them and announce the arrival of the deer. Both of the pups had a ton of fun playing with the toys provided!CJ T.

55My dog loved this spot! There is an inside and outside for dogs to play with plenty of toys and even small dog pools for hot days. I kept my dog inside for most of the time as I didn’t want her to be too distracted by people/dogs walking on the trail behind the spot. They also greeted us with dog treats and some water for the humans too! Will definitely be back.Skylar R.

FAQ about our Philadelphia small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Philadelphia?
There are 227 small dog parks in the Philadelphia area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
