55Such a great space with provided toys and poop bags! One thing to note is that the neighbor has a large dog on the other side of the fence. While you can’t see the dog super clearly, you can get glimpses through the slats in the fence and it does bark quite loudly at the fence line. Anna S.

55Our dog Amy loved the yard. It's just as pictured, completely fenced in with nothing to worry about. There was water, toys and even chairs to chill in. Great spot! We'll definitely be back. Lisa T.

55Great yard, only one spot my dogs could have gotten out in the old fencing if they pushed through. But looks like fencing is being replaced so I just kept my dogs away from that spot. Plenty of room for them to run around and enjoy! Stephanie G.

55Our favorite Sniffspot! I recommend this spot to all of my dog friends. Friendly host that is quick to communicate and accommodate. If I had a longer visit I would have taken advantage of the propane heater. Perfect for freezing snowy days like today. I also imagine the huge tree will come in handy during the summer as well.

55My lab had an awesome time here. Tyler came out and greeted us on our way in and warned us about the gate sticking a little bit and some neighbor's dogs that might bark (they did but the neighbors brought them inside). There was fresh water, a bucket of toys, poop bags, and plenty of room to sniff and run around. This is a great off-leash option in the Portland area!Nicole P.

FAQ About Portland 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.
