55This place was beautiful! Very little shade in the dog park area but there is a structure with a couch to sit under to escape the sun. Lots of toys to play with and a nice space to run around. However! We also rented the river stay “extra” and it was AWESOME! Sebastian walked us back to a private river entrance equipped with two folding chairs and a pop up tent on the bank. We were able to bring the chairs to a shallow part of the river and sit comfortable with our feet in the water while the dogs played in the river. The current was pretty mild. Our 20lb dog could handle the flow decently well and our 30 and 40lb dogs had no problem. It probably went up to about chin height of our smallest dog, about 6-8in. The riverbank was secluded from other people and I was able to maintain an eye on all three dogs on almost the entire perimeter of the space. It was a beautiful afternoon and I plan on coming back again soon. Definitely recommend. This place is a gem! Oh and the drive out to Philomath is very pretty too. There are also goats and chickens behind fences on the property. They greeted us at the fence. Johnny G.

55This was our first visit and definitely won’t be our last! My boys loved the amount of room they had to run around and play fetch! The fence was secure and the area was clean. Kendra M.

55An absolute gem! We got the river spot which was perfect for our old lady dog who is very reactive to other dogs but just loves to swim! The hosts set out a pop up tent on their private bank and we enjoyed a relaxing day free of anxiety of being approached by strangers. The stream had a lot of wading space about ankle to knee deep and a couple of steep drop offs with pools where my doggy could swim to her hearts delight. We didn’t spend any time in the park enclosure but it looked very spacious and clean! They even gave us a shady parking space. We will be back!Kamaile M.

55Fence is always secure and although there are chickens nearby, they are not very distracting to my highly distractible young Stafford. Always clean and plenty of toys to play with!Pamela C.

55We LOVE this sniff spot. This was overall a great experience. There was lots of space, we didn't have to worry about any hazards, there were lots of toys, access to water and water bowls and we had a comfortable space to sit. Our dogs loved having the space to run around and explore. This will definitely become one of our go-to places. Amanda K.

55This was the perfect Sniffspot! So much space for our reactive pup to run around safely and free of distractions. They provided so many toys and the perfect undercover area to sit in. They have lights surrounding the area which is perfect for the fall and winter!Camille H.

55Nice fenced area. Safe enclosure for our dog. Lots of space to run. Chickens on site, but our dog is used to that. Luckily, no rain, just clouds during our visit. Nice little covered area for moms and dads to escape rain if that happens. I would recommend.Victoria H.

55Great spot for an apartment pup to burn off some energy! My guy definitely focused on the chickens a bit, but there was plenty of space to move further away if it became an issue. Love that there is a bench, chairs, and shelter if needed. Lots of toys to play with if you don't bring your own. We will 100% be back, and I'm excited to plan a creek access day in the summer!Hailey H.

55This was our first ever Sniffspot and it was so great! We took 4 dogs with us and they absolutely loved it. The size was perfect for them to run around and have fun together. They provided toys that our dogs loved. The only recommendation I have is to fix the gate latch so that it works a little better. Other than that it was perfect! The little shelter was perfect when I needed to get out of the rain. Hailey H.

55My dogs and I had a lovely time at this Sniffspot. We signed up for the tour of the farm, so after the dogs played off leash on the lawn, we leashed up and took a nice walk around the farm and to the river. Aryn H.

55Really large and well kept yard with secure fencing. There was outside patio furniture to relax on while your dog runs around. The tour is much needed if you want to have access to other parts of this large property. Definitely will come back! Courtney E.

FAQ about our Philomath 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 Philomath?
There are 33 small dog parks in the Philomath 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.
