55Large, clean backyard with good amounts of sun and shade and comfortable seating for people. The fence is nice and high. One of my pits loved his time at Mark’s and happily romped around. The other one was triggered by the enclosure of chickens and ducks and did nothing but bark at them which isn’t relaxing for anyone! Mark’s is great for most dogs but if you have a reactive one like mine, it may not be the best choice for you. Joanna H.

Mark's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In South Columbus | Sniffspot
55My dogs had a great time at this SniffSpot! The yard is completely fenced with privacy fencing. The yard is massive and clean. There was also a really nice tree for shade. I didn’t realize the chicken coop is in the backyard so be prepared to manage your dogs around the chickens/ducks. It’s totally closed in so dogs can’t get in the coop and birds can’t get out. It was fun to let me dogs explore the birds. They enjoyed themselves for sure. Would definitely book again ❤️Allison L.

FAQ About South Columbus 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.

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.
