55Great first experience with a Sniffspot! There was a large, shaded area with some agility training opportunities and a longer grassy area for some solid running. Garbage can with a fresh bag. Water bowl and a hose. Lots of chuck-its and balls. Even an outhouse for the humans. Sarah M.

55Really great spot! We were driving by on our way south and wanted to give our boys a little reprieve from the car. It was so nice to have the outhouse for us humans. One of our dogs did get sick on the way down and it was so nice to have the hose available to clean out the crate. Lots of toys and equipment for the dogs. Highly recommend! Katrina G.

55My dog loves the agility toys in the front, and the chuck-it space is plenty long enough for her to get a solid sprint in. The owners of this place have put a lot of thought and care in, with the hose and water bowls easily accessible, and the private parking space is really pleasant. I recommend close-toed shoes as the spot is a little dusty/dirty but it’s a great spot! Kia J.

55Great spot to let the dogs stretch their legs! Lots of room for fetch, plenty of interesting things for the dogs to explore. Will be great after work during shorter days to let the dogs exercise under the lights. Virginia W.

55Great place in a quiet neighborhood, perfect for dogs that have the zoomies! There is dirt which my dogs loved but if they have just taken a bath this might not be the place to take them. Overall, I will be returning!Jamie T.

55We had a great time! The agility obstacles were a hit. Even though it isn't the biggest area, it is layed out well to give dogs plenty of room to run. There were several chuck-its, a few other large balls, a big digging pile -that was great for cooling their bellies, fresh water, and plenty of shade. Emma O.

FAQ about our Tumwater 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Tumwater 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 191 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 28 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.
