55Lovely space! Lots of room for our pup to run, and she really enjoyed sniffing around & chasing her call. Easy to get to, parking & access to the yard were straightforward. Appreciated the chairs, water bowl & toys left out for us- that was so sweet. Great spot!!Corrina M.

Martha's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In State College | Sniffspot
55This location is lovely! It's easy to access, with an L-shaped fenced area, making it private and interesting. The landscaping is well maintained and the fence is secure (very important for my dog!). The yard was clean (no other dog poop, yay!). Martha was responsive with a few questions I had before booking. I would definitely return and highly recommend. Robin E.

55So happy this sniffspot opened up in state college!! Perfect size yard to play fetch or for your dog to explore. My 2 friends and I brought our 4 medium size dogs to run for an hour and they had a blast. Owner was very sweet and had clean water bowls by the hose for us and some dog hammocks for the dogs to rest on. Fencing was secure and I wasn't worried about anyone escaping. Great time there, we will be back! Amanda M.

Sugar Run's Private Dog Park In Duncansville | Sniffspot
55We will absolutely be back! Lots of toys, baby pools for the pups to cool off in and a great space to run! I have two young Vizslas so off-leash running is crucial daily - this is a great option instead of always being in our own yard!!! Can't wait to book again this week 😀Meghan J.

55It was so nice! Definitely will be back. She seemed to enjoy it but for her first time she likes to explore. I’m sure she’ll be ready to play the next time now that she knows what to expect! Kudos to the owners! What a great idea!Christie R.

FAQ about our State College 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.
