55There are some sniffspots that are truly special and this is one of them! This spot has it all and it really feels like an oasis! Totally distraction free, my dog was so happy here. We can't wait to spend more time here this summer! Reed V.

55Our pup learned to focus on areas that stimulating especially on the trails, up the hill and back to the lower field, to the water and ran back up the hill. Xandra L.

Our pup learned to focus on areas that stimulating especially on the trails, up the hill and back to the lower field, to the water and ran back up the hill.
55Another beautiful day!
The upper field is fenced and spacious, while the lower field is flat and open — perfect for training recall. There are trails to explore and a creek where my pup can splash around and fetch the ball. It’s a great place to work on focus training. Even with the open end of the creek, my pup wasn’t bothered at all. Such an awesome spot for a fun and productive outing!Xandra L.

55Even better than advertised! I would be sure you heed the warnings about the open fence ends for the creek, so make sure you aren’t concerned about your dog running off. Lauren G.

55The perfect spot to kick off our spring adventure—kids and pup racing down the trails, splashing in the water, playing hide and seek, and never wanting to leave. Beautifully maintained with neatly mowed lawns—just amazing!Xandra L.

55Probably been here five times or so? And the dog, mom and dad all absolutely love it. This last visit was especially nice - the creek is particularly special in the spring, and the meadow has dried out very quickly after the winter rain. Thanks for maintaining it so well, it's a joy to visit your space!Gaston G.

55This was my first time visiting any Sniffspot, and I couldn't have picked a better place for it. My foster dog, Satchmo, and I had a great time. It was a great size - about 3 times bigger than my yard, and not so big it would be overwhelming for him. Anne had everything we could have wanted - water bowls, toys, and lots of new smells. It was a gorgeous day, and the Spot has a great view of Portland and the surrounding areas! When we got back to the car, there was a sweet sketch of Satchmo and a kind greeting & appreciation for visiting! Thank you so much!Leslie K.

55This place was so amazing! It was very beautiful and big for my dogs to run around and have fun!! The area is fenced minus the area around the creek so please keep in mind if your dog has no recall. But loved it and I will come back 10/10! Sarahy B.

FAQ About Happy Valley 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.
Are 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 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. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Happy Valley area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 192 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 330 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
