55This is a great Sniff Spot! Nuala loved hearing the chickens and just exploring! So many places to sniff. The fence was great. High enough for my bigger dog to not jump and it is very well installed. Nuala liked to stick her nose between the slats to sniff 😂. The yard was very clean and there was plenty of open space to play ball or just run. Nuala really just wanted to sniff 😂. Amy C.

55Our dogs loved it! There's plenty of room for them to run and get the zoomies, or to play fetch. But there are also lots of places for them to sniff and explore. Our dogs that live in a house without a yard, so most of their experiences are on leash. It was so nice to be able to let them wander and be dogs! The yard was clean and the fence was very secure. A wonderful place to play!Jamie B.

55My dog, Dixie, visited Bill's Fully Fenced in Yard. Dixie had a supper good time running and sniffing around. The yard was nicely mowed and very clean. There was a lot of room for her to run, and it was very pleasant for me to sit under the deck and relax. I plan on returning to Bill's yard whenever I can!Nancy L.

55This was the perfect location with lots of room for my 3 huskies to enjoy! Convenient entrances into the gated yard on either side of the house. Neighbors were friendly also! A whole bucket of toys, plenty of bags for clean up, a chair to sit in with a side table and there's even a trash can provided. Couldn't have chosen a better spot for my twins to enjoy their 8th birthday! Can't recommend this place enough. Jacquelyn H.

55My dog, Dixie, and I visited Pooch Place on Saturday afternoon. Dixie had a great time running free and sniffing all around. The yard was nice and clean, well fenced and just the right size for us. (The swing is very nice, too!) Thank you, Kristen, we hope to return soon!Nancy L.

55This was a great spot for our one year old Labradoodle to run around. The entire area is fenced so we did not have to worry about letting Apollo go off on his own to explore. He loved sniffing the trees and the grass. We loved that he was able to run around the huge yard and burn off some energy. 10/10 would return again. Alex P.

55This Sniffspot is clean and wide open! My dog loves walking around the fencing and smelling all the smells. I appreciated the extra water and a place to put doggy bags after cleaning up after my dog. We travel 30 minutes for this one and it’s well worth it!Casey L.

FAQ About Mechanicsburg 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.
