Great spot, plenty of room for dogs to run. Lots of trees for shade too. Easy to find and clear instructions on where to park.

Fantastic sniffspot! Absolutely gorgeous yard and my dog had so much fun. She was so excited when we arrived that she couldn’t even focus on the ball I was throwing. She rates it 10/10

This worked great for our dogs! Just a heads up a small determined dog could get through the fence. Beautiful space

Great area for my dogs to run and play in. Very clean and tucked back away from everything. I will definitely be back!

We had a great time with Sadie. She enjoyed all the toys and the space to run, play fetch, and get lots of good sniffs. It was great place to get some much needed exercise on our road trip. A tired puppy is a happy puppy. Easy access to the freeway also. Great space and good fencing.

Our pups love this space. There was room for the pups to run around. There are neighboring dogs that were outside on the other side of the privacy fence so keep that in mind if your dogs are triggered by that. The fence was low in some spots but our pups didn’t try to jump out. The lower parts of the fence is around branches and brush. Good spot overall for the pups to get some exercise.

My doggo had such a great time playing here! Will DEFINITELY be back. The neighbor dogs did bark, but they were behind a 6 foot wooden privacy fence. If your dog is as ball driven as mine, there should be no issues.

Really secure fence, nice big open yard. Perfect for fetch or multiple dogs playing but also low distraction enough to be really good for training. Fence is solid so reactive dog friendly.

FAQ about our 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.
