Brandywine River View Private Dog Park In West Chester | Sniffspot
55Jennifer's sniff spot is gorgeous! The dogs had a fantastic time running around, chasing each other, and following all the scent trails their little hearts' desired.
Jennifer came out with a full water bowl and dog treats, greeting us as we arrived. We had a nice chat before she went back to the house. My sister and I had a nice, comfortable, spot to sit and visit while our dogs ran around for 90 minutes thoroughly exhausting themselves.
If you're looking for a great spot with plenty of space for your dogs to explore, this is a gem 💎
Thank you, Jennifer. Finn & Xena loved their adventure today and we look forward to coming by again in the future.Tara M.

Half Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In West Chester | Sniffspot
55Brought my rescue dog here since I could tell she was needing to run. She is reactive to other dogs and recall is not perfect so this is really the only option for her to run. She absolutely LOVED it and it made me so happy to be able to see her run freely! The yard was spacious and tidy and i felt safe letting her loose. Kristina B.

55Another great visit here. My dog is definitely more interested in playing fetch here than in my own (fenced, but small) yard. Lots of options for sun and shade, and there were water slides into the creek for kids. One small thing to look out for is deer leavings. Henry had a field day with them, but no ill effects (and he regularly seeks those out on my own neighborhood walks too). Patrick R.

55We loved visiting! Very peaceful and quiet yard. The host left little treats for our dog and a ball to play with which was very helpful since we forgot ours. There was a hose available for filling our dog bowl with fresh water and a baby pool for water play. Our dog had a great tome.Elizabeth V.

55I loved this spot and will be back. I brought my 4 month yellow lab pup for her first swimming experience but she enjoyed running the fields the most (we’re still working on learning swimming). The space has unique charm and art. Bird was really cool too and showed me around when I got there and provided water then helped with pulling out of the driveway when I left. I recommend visiting!!

55Bird’s property was an amazing retreat for our city dog. There are so many amenities, including water for you and your pup, many seating options, toys, and sticks. The property is absolutely gorgeous and very well maintained! Our pup enjoyed everything from basking in the creek, playing fetch, investigating all the smells, and just rolling around in the grass. Bird is a very gracious host and allowed us to stay 30 minutes over our time since were late due to traffic. We will absolutely be back!Chrissy H.

55Bird and her boyfriend are a delight! They've made sure our family had a special time with our dog. There were 10 of us and a dog and she was so kind about it. The space is beautiful. It even rained and we still were able to enjoy our visit. She made sure we had umbrellas and let us stay extra so we can enjoy the sun that came out after the rain. Can't say enough good stuff about the place and the owner. Rana K.

FAQ About West Chester 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.

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 8% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the West Chester 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 633 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1013 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
