55Amazing Sniffspot! Was like being on trails at the state park but not and fenced. We could relax and let our new anxious rescue RUN and run she did…we then went back to take photos with dog photographer Julie Austin to capture more precious moments. Thank you for this opportunity! Tiffany M.

55This SniffSpot has become luna’s happy place. I just wish my schedule would allow me to bring her more often. The joy she has running and playing in the woods with the freedom of being off leash she can’t really get anywhere else.Charity G.

55We took our dog here for his 2nd birthday and it was perfect for him. He got to run and sniff around all over the property/trail off-leash on his own, and we felt safe letting him do so. The trail is nice and clean and the area was quiet. It's basically a mini hiking trail, which allowed us (his humans) to also get our steps in.
TL;DR: if you're looking for a private and fully-fenced hiking trail where you can let your dog(s) run free, this is the spot. 10/10 would come back. Kyra F.

55A really lovely spot that we will be back to! The unfenced creek area is so nice and very secluded, my dog has very solid but not flawless recall and I felt very comfortable with her off leash in this space. We brought a long line but it would have been difficult to use with the brush.
Only concern is that as we were leaving a neighbor or owner didn’t realize we were using the space and was about to let their dog in, which would have been a big problem for us, especially with no warning because you cannot see the entry gate from below. We were here at odd hours but I booked a few days in advance so there was a decent amount of notice. Otherwise a great experience. Reba S.

55This is absolutely one our favorite spots! Beautiful, peaceful and clean. A little slice of heaven for all of us. My puppy zooms like a crazy guy all up and down the hills and splashes with delight in the creek. My older gal sniffs at a much slower pace but loves to explore-especially the creek! Thank you Linda for being an exceptional hostess! Kristen K.

FAQ About Federal Way 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.

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.
