55WOW awesome visit, awesome Sniffspot! Grace greeted us when we arrived to be sure we knew where we were going, then set us free in the mini forest. We booked 2 hours to be sure we had enough time to explore and I'm so glad we did! Our dog is still learning how to be a trail dog, so it was great to clip on his drag line and practice recall and trail manners without worrying about running into other dogs. This will also be a great place for curated dog playgroups this summer. We'll be back!!Sarah S.

55My dog loved running around here! The stream was such a nice feature, just big enough to be exciting for her but still safe. Plenty of space to run around and I enjoyed the benches for a little break. An hour flew by, we'll be back.Sarah E.

55Cookie had a great time, I’m currently fostering her in the city and she is reactive so it’s nice to have access to closed off spaces. She loved all the smells and being able to play endless tug of war. Kaitlyn B.

55My dog and I really enjoyed our time here. After sniffing and playing for a bit my dog just wanted to lay down and take in the sounds, which normally he would never do outside. There is a school nearby so you can hear the kids outside, but they are far enough away that didn't cause any issues for usBryn P.

55Wonderful spot - clean and had everything we needed for a fun hour (even a huge and beautiful tree to provide shelter from the rain). Our pup had the best time fetching and sniffing and enjoying a safe, off leash space. Great to meet Jeanette and her adorable puppy too!Sandi F.

FAQ about our Saanichton small dog parks
Are small dog parks safe?

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
