55I’ve been weary about being outside for so long with it getting hotter out but the pool was amazing for Morti! It was 86 outside and I never felt like he was even close to getting too hot and the shaded seating was perfect for me! Samantha L.

55The Davis have thought of everything - great introduction to Sniffspot for this first timer! I was there in the late morning on a warm, sunny day, and about half of the yard was shaded by trees. Very comfortable spot for both dogs and their humans.Monica S.

55This was our first time using Sniffspot and it was great! We have two pups who don’t love walking in the city so this gave them an opportunity to run around leash free in a quiet area. The yard was clean, came with a free treat sample, enrichment activities, toys, and seating for us humans. The neighborhood was quiet and there was plenty of easy street parking. We definitely plan on coming back again soon! Katie S.

55We had a great time in Tracy’s space! My dog struggles with people reactivity and her trainer wanted to meet in a neutral space so we could introduce her to her small child. The space features a large fenced yard with lots of seats for the humans. She also had fresh water and a huge bucket of toys for the dogs! We also had the opportunity to meet Tracy and one of her employees, Jordan, and they were both so kind! I would recommend this space to anyone! Katlyn L.

Our two dogs had not seen each other in awhile, and this spot was a wonderful place for them to work out all of their excitement! The area is very clean & charming. Great toys and we loved the hanging tug rope! We will visit again!

55A great spot for an intro between my foster dog and another dog. They were very excited to see a bunch of deer in the field behind the Sniffspot and my foster hound made sure to keep an eye on them and announce the arrival of the deer. Both of the pups had a ton of fun playing with the toys provided!CJ T.

FAQ about our Philadelphia small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Philadelphia?
There are 190 small dog parks in the Philadelphia area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
