Fully Fenced Yard in Albina Neighborhood | Sniffspot
55Surprisingly large yard for being right in NE Portland! The wood fence was very secure, no gaps, and tall enough to keep in my German shepherd. The water bowl, hose, and chairs were greatly appreciated and there is shade for when it’s hot out. Will return! Madeline W.

55This spot was great! Clean and well maintained with a few sitting areas for humans, both shaded and in the sun. Our dogs really enjoyed running around and enjoying all the new smells. Misha J.

Sauvie Island, Riverfront, Field, 40 Acres, swing on River | Sniffspot
55Will book this place again in the future! Great space with options for water time and field time! Open space for fetch if that’s your dog’s jam, tall grass for hide and seek and amazing views for the humans.
For first timers you get a nice welcome with a quick lay of the land and have shaded parking if your car fits under the tree. Bring a snack and have a little break at the picnic table. ashton n.

Jade's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Portland | Sniffspot
55Jade’s yard was perfect for a few chuck-it runs, water was available, cool spots for my pup to rest between runs and chairs for the two-leggeds to sit under the shade tree. I brought my own, but I did see frisbees and chuck-its to use. Easy to find and easy parking. Will come back. Salle S.

55Outstanding!!! We loved the snacks and huge variety of toys, even a tug attached to the tree in the center of the lawn. I especially appreciated the height and security of the fence, and the comfy benches throughout for people to sit. It was also super easy to find. This spot is full of thoughtful touches and we’ll definitely be back! Lucy N.

55Our dog had a blast and did not even notice the curious deer. Easy to get to, well marked. Grass could have been a bit tall for a smaller dog (ours is 15 lbs and athletic). June S.

City Haven Private Dog Park In Portland | Sniffspot
55Beautiful sanctuary in the city. My dog loves it. Only thing to note is that there are chain link areas where you can see neighbors if they come out and if you have a scavenger dog there is often fruit and vegetables out on the ground around the area. Meaghan S.

FAQ About Portland 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.
