55We love this Sniffspot. Lots of toys for small, and large dogs. A very nice gazebo to get out of the sun. Once the leaves come in there will be lots of shade in the back. Our pup gets very excited every time we arrive. 🐶Lisa H.

55Took my puppy here today on my lunch break. She’s an office and apartment dog so I wanted her to be able to get her energy out and this place is right around the corner from where I work! There was a lot to do and I really enjoyed the way everything was set up. And my Willow loved being able to explore and running around freely! We will definitely be coming here regularly :)Paula P.

55Really great spot with a ton of thoughtful amenities for both the dogs and their humans! My foursome had so much fun exploring in the wooded area and running around the yard, and there was no shortage of toys for them to play with. There wasn't a stray dog poop in sight, which is impressive considering the size of the space and the number of doggy visitors coming through. If you are bringing more than two dogs, consider having another person with you because there are various structures that create blind spots, like the pool, a shed, and the trees that make up the lovely wooded area. I brought four dogs and was by myself, so it was a bit challenging to keep an eye on them all simultaneously to make sure no one was getting into trouble or going poo without me noticing. I‘d probably recommend one person per two dogs for an optimal visit. Liz M.

55We are repeat customers and Lucky really enjoys the space and the toys, and I really appreciate the thought that has gone in to making this Sniffspot welcoming for both two-and four legged visitors. This time he was interested in trying the agility equipment and I look forward to bringing him back. Mia H.

55We have 4 dogs and each one had a great time. This Spot is awesome, the host provided not only a wonderful space to explore, but lots of activities you can do with your dogs. Agility, balls and toys, fresh water and bowls, treats, seating, protection from the elements, and more. Great size to spread out and the small wooded area was a favorite to walk through, climb up on some boulders, and nooks to sniff. We would love to come back again. Thank you so much.Harmony S.

55Booked a little last minute so the dogs could get out before the storm. Host made sure to warn us of icy conditions and laid out mats in the slicker areas. They go above and beyond here! Thanks again for having us, the pups had another great time. Melissa L.

55This was our first Sniffspot experience after lurking for a while and it was wonderful! Both dogs had the best time on their play date flying around the yard, checking out all the toys (there is a ton!), and sniffing in the back forested area. My stranger reactive girl didn’t have anything interesting to bark at and stayed busy the whole time. The half hour flew by - we would’ve stayed longer if it weren’t so cold out. We will definitely be back, thanks again for hosting us :)Melissa L.

FAQ About Salem 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?

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 4% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Salem 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 301 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
