55Ross and his yard were so lovely. He had toys and fresh water out for us. The yard was clean and well-fenced. My dog, Beans, had the best time! There is one spot in the fence where a small dog that loves to dig could maybe worm his way under but my 35-lb guy had no problems. We will definitely be coming back!Sara S.

55This was my first sniff spot experience and it was great! The yard was well maintained and big enough for my dog to explore. It just rained so it was a little buggy, so bring bug spray!Shannon B.

55Great yard for playing catch! Our dogs loved it. Parking was easy. Seemed like there weren’t many shaded areas, but it wasn’t an issue on this overcast day.Nicki D.

55Really wonderful yard to take the dogs to. It makes exercising the dogs a relaxing and calming experience. There are a few spots in the fence near the entrance that a smaller sneaky dog could get out through, but aside from that this yard is perfect! Julia M.

55The yard is pretty basic, but we just wanted a place that was fully fenced and long enough to throw a ball for our dog, so it was perfect for our needs! We will definitely be booking again. Thank you. :) Jared M.

55This place is a godsend! I live in an apartment building and don’t have access to a fenced in area in my neighborhood. This yard is perfect for my soccer & tennis ball loving dog. Thank you so much! We’ll be back :)Grace T.

55This is an incredible spot! I was so relieved to find a place where I could play fetch with my dog in D.C. that’s not a public dog park. It was easy to find, there was available parking, and my rescue dog loved getting to stretch his legs and sniff all around. I’ll definitely be coming back!Mary S.

55An incredibly long yard - go ahead and try to throw a ball far enough to make it out! A great partially shaded setup with easy parking and access. Ryan B.

55Great lot with plenty of available street parking.
The back of the fenced area opens to a house, so there is a possibility that your dog could interact or come face-to-face with the residents of that house. Amanda W.

55Awesome spot great for people that live in the city and have dogs that need to run a lot and don’t like the dog parks and don’t feel like driving an hour outside the city to find open spacesJason D.

55We had a great time! Such a great amount of space for fetch and some training. The next door neighbor’s dog was out and barking at the fence for part of the time, so just a heads up if this is something your dog may have a hard time with (though not at all the host’s fault!). Thank you!Alison F.

FAQ about our Washington 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. 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Washington?
There are 211 small dog parks in the Washington area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
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 doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. 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.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
