55This was a nice spot, especially if you are bringing little ones along. There is a corn hole and other outdoor supplies. Table and chairs, as well as many balls, Frisbees, and a chuck it. Nice shade in the morning. I'm not sure how much is left in the afternoon. We did encouter a few yellow jackets/wasps in the shaded area, but they left us alone

55This is our favorite spot. It isn't my favorite time of year, though, because our fetch field at the top of the hill is too tall. We lose balls every time we visit, which is expensive, but that's the fault of my dogs dropping them and losing sight of them. Lots of ungulate poo and mud in the little creek to explore, so we are all having baths today! The dogs are happy and tired. Shannon R.

55I love a sniff spot that keeps adding amenities. Since I was last here a kiosk with all sorts of toys and other necessities is there. There are more mowed pathways. The view is still amazing and the little creek is a doggie favorite.H L.

Justin's 11 Acre Partially Fenced Private Dog Park In Salem | Sniffspot
55We came here for the creek, but the open field was really nice as well. There is a small hill you have to go down to get to the creek, but it was not bad. My mother(she has bad knees and balance) came and only needed her walking stick to get down and back up. The creek was great fun. My pup loved the depth of the creek. He was able to wade and fetch his ball in the creek. There was also plenty of shade next to the creek, which was nice to have. Justin was very responsive when I had a question. Also, it was easy to find the spot based on the description given.Stacie P.

55This is a terrific place. Seldom does a sniff spot have this much open space. It is a pasture in farm country right now in August. So the grass is dry, weedy and seedy. The ground is uneven and dusty. But the dogs LOVE it. The stream is clear and flowing slowly. Yes the dogs come out muddy, they love it. My recommendations: wear appropriate clothing. Bring water for your dogs. Enjoy farm land just minutes from Salem. H L.

55Beautiful oasis and very peaceful! The pup didn't get into mischief this go around. =) When exploring the property, it's important to pay attn to your surroundings- pop-up briars on upper acreage and harmless honey bees that occasionally rest on lower dirt bank near water stream/ little creek area.

Absolutely amazing private park experience for my three huskies! The space was secure, quiet, and perfect for letting them run freely without worries. It felt safe and private, which gave me peace of mind. My dogs had the best time exploring and playing. Highly recommend for other dog owners looking for a safe and fun space for their pups!
We'll definitely be back❤️❤️❤️❤️

FAQ About Salem 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.
