55It’s so great having a large space like this in the city for your dog to explore and run without distractions. Definitely worth it. Water was left out which was so nice! My dog had a blast. Susan J.

55My dog had the time of her life! The set up is lovely for both dogs and their people, and it's amazing to have a spot where my dog can run through bushes and just be a dog in the middle of the city. We will be back! Emily W.

55Christopher’s spot is really fun! Of course the top reason we’ll return is accessibility (walked home to South Philly with the dogs to wind down!) but if your dog likes to explore, they will enjoy hanging out here. A lot of different textures and elements not to mention the little “forest” with paths for dogs to chase each other. Christopher made it extra special with a picnic area with several comfortable chairs and a table for you to enjoy your peace while the pups tire themselves out. He was great with communication throughout out stay and had prepared a cooler full of water for humans and dogs. Highly recommend!
One note- the fences around the property is super secure, but they are the wired type and your dogs can see and hear everyone walking by. There weren’t a lot of activities for the two hours we were there, but we did see a couple of dogs on walks who were perfectly calm and not reactive. Alana K.

55We really enjoyed getting to visit Christopher’s SniffSpot! It had everything we could want, including water for both ourselves and Sherman. It was easy to park nearby. Very secure yard, no breaks in the fence.Erin D.

55Christopher is a great host! He stopped by to be sure I got in successfully and had water waiting for me and my pup. This is a large fenced in lot with plenty of space for your dog to romp. Adrienne S.

55Another great visit! Adding the fire option was brilliant. It was a chilly afternoon but we stayed toasty for the whole hour and a half. Brought a friend along this time and already have another who wants to join next time. Take note that a lot of shrubs/bushes are cut down to overwinter, so if your pup likes more of an open space, this would be perfect. Alana K.

55Another amazing visit! I keep going back with more dogs/friends and everyone wants to go back. Thanks to Chris, we were chatting around the fire drinking seltzer for two hours while dogs run around. Pictures are from the break time and you can see my one dog could not keep her eyes open 😂 Go here! It’s great! Alana K.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience, and this was the perfect spot! Our two dogs had plenty of space to wrestle, chase, and sniff all the fun nooks and crannies. Chris set out plenty of fresh water for us, and the pups loved playing with the toys. Will definitely be back!Meg W.

55Nice open space with different areas to explore. The greenery has died back for overwintering but our girl still had the best time running around, sniffing, exploring, fetching. After 45 minutes of running around she uncharacteristically wandered over to be leashed when we asked if she was ready to go home. I'm sure she'll be zonked for the rest of the day!Sarah K.

55Nice space that feels secluded even in smack dab in the center of it all. The space was a little different to where google maps said it was. I was lucky that the owner was there and I was able to make sure it was the right spot. The owner was very friendly but was quick to leave us to it. They placed out fresh clean water and had a few toys available.
The space itself is pretty large and has quite a bit of trot space. There is a wide open space in the back but it has large aggregate that I would prefer my dogs were in boots to run on.
The fence was a nice solid 8ft but it has no privacy screen so if your dog is people or fence aggresive be aware that it is in the path of a bus stop. In the 50 or so minutes we were there, there was pretty steady foot and car traffic. Nobody tried to interact with my dogs though which was nice. If you're driving to the space it's likely to be easy to find parking.
All in all I really enjoyed my time here and will definitely be coming back.Kore N.

55Great spot for city dwellers. We have a very reactive foster dog, and Christopher provided us with an extra lock to secure the space from the inside as an added precaution. He also checked in with us to ensure everything was going well. Highly recommend.Sharon H.

55Super great spot!! :) it was clean and safely fenced in, with freshwater provided for our pup too! The fire pit is so nice, what a cozy touch!
Christopher checked in with us to make sure we got into the area okay, and then left us to playing with our dog! We will be back for sure:) Sydney C.

55Great clean roomy area, it was a very good area for me to meet with a possible training cane corso. Was greeted by the owner who did a double check to make sure water was provided and area was to my liking.
I will gladly be using this yard again. It had a private entrance and was securely fenced all the way around ❤️

FAQ about our Philadelphia fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Philadelphia?
There are 300 fully fenced dog parks in the Philadelphia area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
