55My foster pup LOVED this spot! We had a blast romping around the huge back field and sniffing through all the brush and trees. There was lots of clean water available, poop bags, and secure fencing! Megan B.

55This Sniffspot was the absolute best place to have my pup's 1st birthday party! It is an absolutely massive, clean, amenity filled piece of property that the doggos had a blast on! Nicole is such a great, accommodating hostess! I loved that she has a package specifically for dog birthdays. Thank you again, Nicole, for such an awesome experience!!Alysha F.

55This was our first adventure with SniffSpot and we will definitely be going back to Summit Ridge. We have one little dog, Meeko, who doesn’t do well at dog parks because of her fear of other dogs, and older dog, Val, who needs to take play time easy so she avoids injury. The Summit Ridge property was beautiful, and host had water, toys, and personalized treats for our pups. There was also a swimming pool (towels provided). We will definitely be back!Stephanie M.

55Fun spot with lots of thoughtful amenities. Lots of water stations and toys. There is a nice walk in the woods where you can search for gnomes and the pups have a fun time exploring. They left a little got bag of dog treats for us and human beverages were available. Really appreciate the thoughtfulness. Jesse W.

55So nice! My dogs had a BALl. Heh heh. Very clean! Amenities for humans and dogs! Follow signs to the zoomie pen first if the chicken coop in backwoods area is going to interest your pups too much. Janet A.

55My first time using a Sniffspot. This was perfect for my sister’s dogs who tend to be anxious/reactive. They absolutely loved it. Special touches I wasn’t expecting that really added to the experience: water and water bowls provided throughout the property, as well as poop bags, and a doggy pool with towels for drying. Bailey absolutely loved that. Thank you for providing an outlet for dogs that don’t do as well in public spaces. All four dogs were completely tuckered out and silent the entire drive home. 😂Brenda O.

55This is our favorite sniff spot so far. The hosts do an exceptional job at making sure there’s lots of toys and water for the pups. The whole property had cute little details throughout out and my pups LOVED running around here. Just look how happy they are 😃They both saw chickens and lamas for the 1st time too. Anna B.

55Bella had a great time exploring this large property that just seems to keep going! With cows and llamas on the other side of the fence! Personally I loved the many places to sit and gnomes and toys and treats and even the little cooler of drinks for humans. Audra S.

55The cows and llamas in next pasture were close by. Fence fully contained dogs so they could get close but no issues. It was pouring rain- there is a lot of forested/trees that there were plenty of dry places to get out of rain.Andrea M.

There was even a little welcome gift pack of treats for our dog!Rubi B.

55My dogs and my sister’s dogs loved this place. When we got there, there was a goody bag with my dogs’ names on it which was very sweet. Lots of areas to sit with lots of drinking stations. Every detail is very thoughtful. I’m bummed we live out of state but will be back for sure next time we visit. Brianna Z.

FAQ about our Tacoma dog water parks
Are dog water 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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Tacoma?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
