55Great yard. Gravel driveway, well marked address, tall wooden fence, very quiet, very secure even for my smaller Houdini dog. Plenty of smells for my hound to sniff, too. We even did some basic training since the distractions were minimal. Alicia J.

55It was a little dark since I got there at 7pm but not bad! They had good lighting in the front and by the gate. I had light up collars, so i didn't lose them, and they had so much fun! There was a dog next door but didn't bother my dog, I kept him busy. They also have a dog, which I saw in the listing, and he wanted to play, but my reactive dog ignored him and the other one kept going up to try and get him out to play lol. Either way, we had a lot of fun running around, playing fetch and chasing each other. Anjalee E.

55This was a great experience for not only my wife and I but for our 3 little dogs as well. James met out out front and showed us where to enter, they even provided water for us and the pups as well as a few treats. They yard was very secure and there was plenty of space for the dogs to explore and run laps. We definitely look forward to booking again in the near future!!Tiffany B.

55My pup Brisket and I had such a fantastic experience here. Great communication with the hosts, easy access to get in and out. A lot of great smells and things to explore. There was fresh water for the dog and water and chairs for humans. Fencing was secure and pretty much non see-through. We did not hear any other dogs on our visit. Highly recommend this sniffspot!

55Wonderful place to take our two dogs who normally wouldn't be able to run around and have fun in a yard since ours isn't fenced in. Great communication and flexibility with our process we had for entering and exiting with our crew. Would recommend and will book again in the future! Jason V.

55Great spot to bring the dogs. Fully fenced. They have high energy and needed an enclosure to fully run. Also very cute backyard with seating, and water. Water for the pups too. We will be back :)Caroline L.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience and our rescue dog, Ruthie's, first time off leash outside since we adopted her a year ago. Ingram's Private Dog Park was just as posted. The host, Elizabeth, kept us in the loop regarding parking, accessing property, etc. We felt secure letting Ruthie off leash in the yard, fencing was good. Lovely back yard with shady spots for our shade-loving girl and lots for our hound dog to sniff. Big bowl of fresh water was much appreciated. Very clean and well maintained, and host, Elizabeth, was very pleasant and accommodating. Would do this again. Ruthie had fun 🐶🐶🐶Patty F.

FAQ About Akron 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. 18% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Akron 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 282 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 533 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.
