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.

55An absolutely beautiful property with a little bit of everything my fur baby loves! Wide open space, plenty of trees, and an incredible creek to play in. Bird was a wonderful hostess who came out to meet us and explain everything we needed to know. She had thought of everything to make our visit easy and enjoyable, from signage to amenities for both Cleo and I. We will definitely be back!Patti K.

55Violet had a wonderful time at this immaculately-kept SniffSpot! She has never been off leash before and had very big zoomies at first. We only stayed about half an hour due to it being such a hot day. Nice shady seats for the humans. No problem staying off the deck, she had lots of space to explore. We will come back!Martha A.

Bird was a great host, showing us around the property, setting up chairs, and giving us some history. Having cold water available was big plus. Will definitely return.Patrick R.

55Bird had more than enough goodies ready for the doggo to have a fun day at the creek. The house and property was nothing short of mesmerizing. Bird walked us through the popular parts of the property and where to avoid due to potential hazards. Plenty of seating and dog toys. Our boy Duke was swimming in the creek the whole time! Bird also has a hose to wash off if you like. 6/5 stars, Bird and company! Looking forward to coming back to make more memories. Eric D.

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. 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. 8% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the West Chester area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 636 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 1011 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.
