55Our dogs really love this place! Getting to the spot is easy and convenient. The property is beautiful, and well-kept, with plenty of space for zoomies (for humans too- we get our steps in at this place!). There are tons of toys available to play with, a fresh supply of water, poop bags, and treaties to boot. Can't go wrong booking this space! Rizza S.

55This place is so beautiful! You could not even tell this is a dog park setting. Well, except for the water, treats, dog toys, leads and even bubbles!
Walter had a fantastic time here today, thank you so much!Joey B.

55I had never rented a spot this large for my girl and I have never seen her run faster!! Had a great time, even in the rain. The forest space gave her so much to smell and explore, and it was so peaceful to walk through the trees. I was also so thankful for the multiple spots with water, the treats and wipes left out!

55Excellent SniffSpot! We really enjoyed our visit and will be back. It's large, fully fenced and secured. The owners are super respectful and fast to respond to basic, over protective dog mom questions. We drove 2.5 hours one way to get here and are glad we did.
A couple things to note that wouldn't prevent us from coming back:
-- There's a good amount of bushes and branches laying on the ground with thorns on them. Our big guy cut his paw on them but it's not a huge deal as we carry simple first air gear with us.
-- Our dogs pooped 3x and I picked up their poop but still managed to step in poop from other dogs. I wasn't as mindful of the shoes I wore and wish I was.
-- There's some mushrooms growing. I'm not sure what kind but we often muzzled our dogs when I saw them nibbling on stuff to be safe <3 Not all mushrooms are safe for dogs, even if they're growing in the wild.Megan S.

55We loved it here. My dogs had so much fun running and exploring. My dog did find a gap in the fence, but the host responded that he will fix it promptly. As with any spot, keeping an eye on your dogs is a must. Carolynn M.

55Wonderful space and kind hosts. The spot was well equipped with toys, water bowls, and clean trails. The dogs very much enjoyed their time in this space and they are very tired. There is a covered seated area as well for inclement weather. We will definitely be returning! Holly R.

55A majestic spot in Tacoma. Private, quiet and quaint. Beautiful woodsy area, trails, and a good sized grassy field to play fetch. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. Sadaf H.

55Riley’s Dog Park is a great Sniffspot! It’s like a smaller version of a more typical PNW dog park but you have it all to yourself. My two pups loved all of the different areas! We walked a few times around the wood chip trail, they explored in the more wooded areas, ran through the small dry creek bed, sniffed around the fruit trees and were curious about the house and yard. We tried playing fetch with the provided balls but there were just too many good smells. The bench in the back corner was a nice spot to sit and listen to the breeze in the trees. Very relaxing especially since it’s all fenced in and secure. There is water for the dogs and humans, a towel in case your pup decides to take a dip in the kiddie pool and we loved our welcome treats and pup bandannas. Since this was our first visit it was nice to have an in person check in as we arrived and departed. One of our pups is a bit too reactive for a typical dog park so this is a great alternative and worth the cost!! Holly M.

55We’ve been visiting Hal and Colleen’s weekly for a year now and it’s our favorite SniffSpot by far. Our speedy sighthounds can get their sniffs and shake a leg in this wonderful open area. Here’s to another year! Layne F.

55Thank you, Hal & Colleen, for sharing what became Joe's favorite yard. Today was his Rainbow Ride - a day of lasts as we helped him cross the rainbow bridge tonight. He so loved your property and always knew when we were close to arriving. Today, though his body wouldn't allow him to stay for long or run as far as he wanted, was a good last day in his favorite place. Thank you for helping us make some of his favorite memories at your home. Forever grateful - Joe's MamaLyn P.

55The yard was great! It was the perfect size for the dogs to run around, but still small enough as to where you wouldn’t lose sight of them. Great experience!Alex O.
