55Dogs had a great time, especially in the unfenced creek area. It’s very secluded in a beautiful forest that’s well taken care of. There’s lots of places to sit and relax, too. There is some mud- which my puppy enjoyed rolling around in. The family are great hosts with nice touches to really make the experience lovely. Wayne Z.

55We love coming to this spot! Our dog loves to zoom around on the trails and splash around in the creek. The host is very communicative and we appreciated the cold water / human treats!Nauchelle M.

55Despite the dozen spider webs I walked through, this was one of the best Sniffspots I've visited so far! My dog loved running the trails, and I did as well! This is a perfect spot to practice recall and off leash training. 10/10, will sniff again. Jess J.

55Wonderland never disappoints! We hadn’t been here for awhile so my doggo thoroughly enjoyed going at a leisurely pace and getting all of the “sniffs” out of every shrub and tree. It’s nice and shady too so it can be enjoyed on even the hottest of days.Bonnie B.

55This place is a dream! My dogs had a blast on all the trails getting to play freely. The trails are well maintained and the lush forest is beautiful. All the water stations are so useful. Truly a gem of a spot. We will be back again and again and again. ☺️Elizabeth K.

55First time visiting. My dog loved the stream. It's unfenced at the stream so I would bring a longline with me for that area in the furure. The signs were very helpful and I appreciated all the water stations.Emily M.

55This is a wonderful spot. Hosts maintain the many trails very well and lots of seating areas if you want to bring a picnic. My dogs love the creek and get very happily dirty but since it’s fenced off you can prevent your dog from going in if you prefer. I noticed improvements since the last time I was there. I love the seating by the creek.Ingrid T.

55Really nice big yard, very clean and free of hazards with private secure fencing. Perfect for my older dog to wander and sniff about safely. Would be an excellent space for multiple dogs or fetch. Thank you for sharing your space with us!! ☺️Susan D.

55⭐️⭐️Wonderlane is an amazing spot! ⭐️⭐️
We had a 1st birthday party 🎂 for my dog Butter's 12 puppies (!) and this Sniffspot was PERFECT! Well groomed trails, lots of amenities, and an incredible creek for play! Linda and her husband were great hosts, very accommodating and helpful! 🥰
The spot is indeed a 🌲forest playground🌲, so be sure to bring sunscreen🧴, bug spray 🦟 (although the hosts have some if you forget), wear closed-toed shoes 🥾, and towels just in case your doggo becomes a muddy buddy 🐶
We will DEFINITELY be back to host another Puppy Family Reunion! 🐾🐾🐾Shannon R.

55My dogs had the absolute best time! Riley and Rocket loved running around and exploring the creek. The yard felt very safe with the fencing, and even though the creek area wasn’t fenced, it still felt super private and secluded. It was clean, quiet, and gave me total peace of mind knowing they could just play and enjoy themselves. We’ll definitely be back!Rachel P.

FAQ About Federal Way 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.
