55Our dogs loved playing in Aimee’s yard! There’s a nice big water bowl, hose for fresh water, and it was fully fenced and felt safe. Super quiet, peaceful neighbourhood.Kelsey M.

55My dog had a great time running around! At first I did have to be a bit careful with him wanting to pick up stuff like cardboard (he eats everything he finds) but once he was playing with his ball, it was totally fine Jessica F.

55This is a great little spot if you just need to let your dog off leash in a yard. It's fully enclosed and has a decent grassy area to run around. There is a big tree stump in the middle so if your pups are into chasing each other, it's ideal. But not great for longer distance sprintsAngela & Jason L.

FAQ about our Vancouver 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. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. 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.
