55My pup had a great time. Endlessly fetched, played in the pool. She saw her first horses, and decided they didn't want to play fetch. We didn't get to the pasture, just stayed in the back yard. She left, one tired and happy pup.CHERYL H.

55Karen was a great host to Freida and myself! She had fresh drinking water out, and the kiddie pool filled with cool clean water. The property is lovely with plenty of room for exploring.LORI F.

55Always a treat to have our pups run and sniff and play and enjoy their time at Julie’s spot. Water to splash in when it’s hot, shade for the humans, water for the pups to quench their thirst, and more. Excellent, always. Brian D.

55Julie is a wonderful host! It’s a wonderful space. My dogs loved running around and exploring! We (and they) really appreciated that she took the time to put out two bowls of water for them! There is so much space to explore & lots of shade for them to lay down and cool off when it’s hot out! Jackie B.

55This spot was WONDERFUL! Nice, flat and fully fenced. My dogs had a blast! They got tuckered out quickly! They loved the big doggos (horses) in the pasture next to them. Nice and flat yard, huge pasture behind to run. My girls were able t stretch their legs and play ball and relax in the kiddie pool! Driveway is a little tricky, but 10/10 worth it! Definitely will be back when we visit my parents again!Kari F.

55This spot is HUGE and set up perfectly for pets. There were two fenced in fields on top of the large fenced yard. So much to sniff! My girls loved the kiddie pool that was set up almost as much as making friends with a curious horse named Zazoo, who was completely sweet. Jenn L.

55Karen met us at the gate & was very kind. The farm was lovely & beautifully kept.
My dogs had never seen a horse before. The horses were bomb proof. A little nervous barking and the horses didn't even flinch.
This will become a regular spot for us, even though it is an hour away!Cyndi A.

FAQ About Downingtown 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.
