55Very nice and thoughtful space. A little covered area just inside had snacks for the dogs and parents… including doggie bags if you need one and some toys to play with. There were seating options and a table with shade. Our dog had so much fun- she had so much to investigate, she took off and we eventually caught up with her. It’s really big with a little stream which she jumped into and jumped out so she got properly dirty- which she loved. It is a great area, large with various trees, bushes & hills. It was a hot day when we went but it was much cooler thanks to all the trees. Nikole F.

55Our very first SniffSpot and it was so much fun. Our pup ran her legs off and probably played with every toy there. A very kind and attentive owner who clearly LOVES dogs. We’ll definitely be back!Rick B.

55The host was responsive to questions. SS was easy to find and access. It was a hot weekend so I was happy to find a creek for the blonde beast to play and explore safely.
General reminder from visitor to another- if you are going to let your dog wander about without you, do a quick loop and pick up after them so it’s nice for others.Danielle M.

55This place is amazing! My escape artist dog was NOT able to get out and he had a great time splashing in the stream on a 100 degree day. Christine B.

55Had a great time watching my boy have fun navigating through all the trails and paths finding all the good smells. He especially loved the little creek running through it. Didn’t even think about that plus the heat and the wooded area equals bugs. I was so thankful for the complementary bug spray. We definitely will be back soon Tricha B.

55My GSD loved the trails. The creek was especially intriguing for her. Lots of yummy snacks for both humans and canines. Yes, if you want a big field for chasing balls, not here.
But trail sniffers will enjoy this spot. Sylvia L.

55This spot is amazing! They have taken such great care to make it an enjoyable space for both dogs and people. My dog loves splashing in water and he had the best time splashing in the creek, snacking on a couple blackberries, and zooming around the trails. We will definitely be back! :) thank you so much for offering to share your beautiful space. Dana W.

55By far the best Sniffspot we’ve been to. Visiting from Arizona and it was my boxer’s first time being able to run through a creek and explore off leash. Wonderful walking trails and toys along the way. Felt like we were hiking in a remote area. Perfectly secure with no worries of finding a place to escape. Will definitely be back. Adria K.

55This SniffSpot is perfect for our dogs to get exercise safely out in ‘nature.’ It really is like a big woodsy park with full secure fencing!! There are also nice touches by the owner like snacks and paw wipes, etc. Sheila J.

55We had a great time and will be back! Our dogs had a little too much fun jumping in the creek and getting out and rolling in the dirt and leaves. They needed long baths after! It was so worth it though! McKenna B.

55Nice property, owners were very thoughtful in making the trails and cutting back the blackberries, and in amenities for pup and humans. Will come back. A nice spot to chill with the pup and catch up with my friends, a bit loud from the traffic on the main road but was fine. Thanks for allowing us to use your space! Lyndsey A.

FAQ About Vancouver 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.
