55Had a great time at Shawna’s sniffspot! There was a large open area, side trails and places for our dog to explore and run around in. There were towels, a chair and a water bucket waiting there for us. Instructions in the video were clear and easy to follow! Kristine S.

55The host, Shawna, provided video instructions on how to get to the Sniffspot once you arrive at the property that was very helpful. It was raining but we had fun anyway. There was a small creek with muddy banks. Thankfully my pup is not much of a play-in-the-mud kinda gal but if you have one they will have the time of their life! Meandering through the trails and finding random toys and objects was pretty cool. We even ran into Shawna on the way out! Very friendly host. Would definitely comeback. Sharise H.

55It's an absolutely beautiful place. Very peaceful. Even though it was raining during our visit, the trees provided enough cover. It's a big space, lots of room for running. It's not fenced but the treeline provides a good perimeter. There was fresh clean water, a garbage bag, and even a bin with a few goodies (lawn chair, towels, etc). I look forward to visiting in nicer weather.Danielle S.

55This property was great. Lots of space including open field and forested areas. The owner communicated with us ahead of time making the process easier. And the location is easy to find. We will definitely be back.

55This place is absolutely gorgeous ! It’s so quiet and clean . My dog and her buddy had a great time running through the paths getting to decide the way to go … but I think the mud pit was definitely her fav. We will definitely be back Laurie S.

55It was a beautiful as usual. Only thing I have to be remindful is there was open space leading to neighbor property behind host property. It was separated with bush before. But the neighbor knocked that down and visibly open. Rio, my trouble maker was attempted to visit other side. I quickly called him and stayed in the field and creek side of property. Just be aware if anybody has very curious dogs. HIROKO T.

55Great little spot for us to roam! Tate is an on leash dog so he stayed on his long line the entire time. There were great little trails in the trees and a big open space for us to play tug. Definitely will be back, thank you!Melanie V.

FAQ about our Maple Ridge 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 Maple Ridge?
There are 40 small dog parks in the Maple Ridge 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.
