55Plenty of space at this secluded area for my two dogs. I have a very reactive dog, the other high energy. Gwen’s Sniffspot was perfect to play frisbee with my lab, while my older, reactive dog got to sniff his heart away. Extra points for the hill to tire the lab out! I was nervous about the potential of seeing chickens on the way in (noted in the details) and I notified Gwen that my dog may be vocal (reactive, husky mix) and she did not mind. To our surprise, no distractions were there when we arrived/left. Plenty of shade to keep cool in the summer sunshine. Will be booking again!Kassandra H.

55Helpful instructions made it easy to find. Great big space.
My small dog had lots of fun playing fetch. I recommend a rubber ball because a tennis ball gets covered in dry grass.
We are training my big dog to ‘come’. It’s a great place if there’s at least some skill. Mine kept going off into the tall grass with pokey plants so I had to get her. Kelsea B.

55This spot is a large forested area with plenty to explore and a flat open space at the top of the hill. The area was quiet and peaceful when we visited. It was fun for humans and dogs to walk around! Bonus for offering eggs!Karen D.

55This spot was wonderful! The dogs loved the mix of open field to run through and wooded areas to sniff around in. This was my dog’s first time encountering a barbed wire fence and she was able to get through to the other side (she’s smaller and quite fearless when it comes to exploring so just mentioning in case your dog is similar). I appreciated that the host mentioned this fencing in the listing. However, I didn’t see the signs to keep out of this area. Although that may have been because I was too focused on watching my dog have the time of her life! The water, poop bags, and trash can were also much appreciated. Would definitely come back! :)Nancy T.

55Info on directions, parking, and signage is great! Dogs really enjoyed their time today. Water dogs WILL get wet! 😃
Unfortunately, we have a husky pup who is under a year old who’s recall is not 100%. On our way out, she darted to the right (after a duck we think), ran past the “no trespassing” signs and got herself tangled in the barb wire. She’s now lost her privileges at this great SniffSpot. KRYSTAN S.

55Nice spot with lots of room for zoomies and exploring. Fully fenced but our dog did find a spot to crawl under the fence to have a swim in the creek. So be aware in that area. Thanks for a great spot. Anna S.

55This spot is fantastic. I have a very excitable doggo who wants to 'play' with the chickens, and he cried like a banshee on our way from the parking to the spot. The spot is a good way away from the chickens, which is helpful.Tina D.

55Very happy with our visit. The spot was very clean. We didn't utilize the water stations, chairs, etc. but they were appreciated. This was the first spot that we've visited that provided a table/wooden platform where we could put down our stuff! Benny had a great time running around and playing fetch. We'll definitely be back!Alissa L.

55Lots of space to play and run! We didn’t find the water feature in the spot but my pup had fun exploring, sniffing and barking.
The host had put out a few water bowls, so appreciated that on a hot day. Although I would still recommend carrying water for your pup! Shilpa S.

FAQ about our Vashon 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.

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.

If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
