55Great open space! And perfect for my aggressive/reactive pup. She had a blast! The fencing was in excellent condition, and the yards were well maintained.
Only downside was the property is on a busy road so Frankie went a little crazy for the cars instead of running around playing with Valoo.
Will for sure be booking this play spot again. Rachel G.

55This spot was incredible. My reactive dog was so happy sniffing and exploring. There were no other animals or people around and area was very secure. There was a nice covered area, chairs, treats, toys and poop bags! We will definitely be back. Andy C.

55When my dog and I first walked the perimeter of the area, we found a huge dump near the north side of the fence. I covered it with a poop bag as it was too big to pick up. Other than that, the visit was wonderful. Daisy took several minutes to become comfortable and to realize she really could be free of her harness and of me. She sniffed all over, did a couple zoomies and chewed on a little grass growing outside the fenceline. I will be returning.Patricia K.

55Had such a great time with our two pups! They had plenty of room to play and run and be free. They don't have a great tempermant so we decided to try sniffspot and this place didn't disappoint! Thanks for having us!Jordan R.

55A great safe space for my pupper. My dog, Amber, is a small dog and we don't get many opportunities to go to the park. I get nervous around other peoples' dogs so it felt great to have the whole place to ourselves. It was fun playing ball on their court and she loved sniffing around the fence. She's still a young puppy and we are still working on her obedience and recall, so knowing that they had a fully fenced yard made me comfortable letting her off leash. They also provide a bunch of amenities like toys, sticks, water bowls, and even had a Porta Potty. I am so happy with my visit and I will definitely be going back in the future. Roxanne S.

55Easy to find and a great spot. It was fully fenced and there were so many things to do and spots to smell for our dog. There were no other people or animals around and our high anxiety dog was able to fully calm down. Monica K.

55Nice and clean, very relaxing with shade. My dogs really enjoyed going up and down the stairs. Will definitely bring them again. The only negative-it does not have a trash can to toss the dog bags so I had to bring them home.Diana C.

55My dogs absolutely loved coming here! They had water out for the pups, and a trash can for the poop. The directions given were perfect, and it was so easy to get in and out of the yard, we will definitely be back!!Tatiana A.

55It’s a beautiful backyard!! A little small for my two but regardless they loved chasing each other up and down the hill. I loved the pretty maple trees. One critique, The off limits side yard needs a better latch on the gate. It was open when I arrived. I hooked the string around one of the slats of the fence. My dog easily pushed it open. Other than that we had a nice visit Megan S.

FAQ about our Salem small dog parks
Are small dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks.

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.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. 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.
