55We had a great time here with our two greyhounds. There are multiple, adjacent, fenced areas with gates in between so the play area can be made larger or smaller depending on which gates you open. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a large open space with a secure perimeter. We’ll be back! Patricia L.

55Our dogs loved all the space they had to run at Karen’s! Plenty of spots for the humans to sit too. They were also thrilled to see the little dog pool (thank goodness we brought towels). Can’t wait to come back!Kaitlyn M.

55Fabulous as always! Totally secure, flat and perfect for running, lots of space, thick grass that dries out quickly after a rain, and super kind, accommodating hosts. Chairs for humans and you can even drive your car inside the gate and lock it behind you before letting your pup(s) out of your vehicle. One of our favorite places to visit!Kelly L.

55Fantastic opportunity to run, play, and explore in a variety of settings all at once. There are multiple pastures and gates that separate them. Lots of dog toys, a kiddie pool, some agility equipment, and expansive lawn in the first area. beyond that gate is a very large double pasture of grass surrounded by bushes and fenced. There may be some horse manure near the edges to sniff, but both back pastures are mostly clear and flat for running and playing. There are horses visible but in their own area and not at the fence line. They were far enough away that even my super curious puppies noticed them but remained relaxed and more interested in all of the fun stuff in front of their noses. Host is super accommodating and friendly and there are some large shade trees and two plastic kiddie pools in the first section so I'm sure even my Berners will be happy to visit on a warm day.

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.

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 Downingtown 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 592 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
