55Our Lab mix and Frenchie mix LOVED it. Perfect mixture of open space, grassy areas and the creek to cool off in. Just a generally cool space. Easy to find, easy to park, clean area. Will definitely be back!Savannah B.

55We loved this very refreshing spot…during 100+ degree weather! My elderly Dad even enjoyed it and our dog’s favorite part was splashing and fetching rocks in your creek.Sarah E.

55Very nice spot on top of Mt Scott! Gorgeous views, fun to try and identify all the landscape. Anne was a great with communication on directions and parking!
We have a little flight risk pooch and the yard was all nice and secure as stated. We brought toys and a picnic, but host did have a nice selection of toys and goodies for us and the doggos. We opted for the pool add-on, although I couldn’t convince my guys it would be refreshing. We will be back! Thanks for sharing your space with us.
Oh and Anne had a great doodle of the pooches💕Nell F.

55I LOVE this place. More importantly, my dog LOVES this place! It's such a treat for him to be able to run free, in what feels like the woods. And his favorite part - the creek. He used to be afraid of water. But since he finally ventured in, I can't keep him away from it! I didn't realize how much we've missed this place. SO worth it!Robin A.

55Really cool space, secured with a fence everywhere other than at the parts where the creek flows so I wasn’t too worried about my dog escaping. Sydney W.

55Anne’s Sniffspot was just what my pack of three needed…lots of new sniffies! There’s a plethora of toys to choose from, & I particularly liked that there’s a separate bin to put played-with toys in for cleaning as one of my pups is immunocompromised. We brought our own bowl, but there are multiple bowls & water readily available, as well as poop bags & a disposal bin. The neighborhood is quiet, and the only folks we saw from the backyard were the neighbors below Anne’s backyard as they were coming home. The bonus is the city view! All-in-all, everyone left happy.

55Incredible property! Our pup loved running up and down the hill and splashing in the creek. There is a wonderful blend of forested area, yard, and of course, water. I was nervous about the creek not being fenced as my boy is impulsive and also part coonhound (so I think he’d follow a squirrel to the ends of the earth) but I just put him on a long lead when he wanted to splash around. It was super easy to keep him the in the fenced portion and to monitor him off leash. This is one of our new favorite spots!Stacy E.

55This place was so cool! Our dog LOVED it! She is such a little explorer who loves to sniff everything & this spot was perfect for that. She had plenty of room to run around and explore. The creek was probably her favorite part! She did bark at a statue she had some beef with but other than that, she really enjoyed the beautiful property. It’s very easy to get to & well maintained. We will be back!Olivia D.

FAQ About Happy Valley 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.
