55Visited this spot for the first time today. A really great size, double gates to get through, good parking, places to sit and ample area to explore. Big enough to throw a Chuck-it. Fence very secure around the whole perimeter and no dogs visible once you’re inside.
Side note: if you own a reactive dog, there are two dogs in the yard across from where you park. Fully visible when you come and go but not visible once you’re in the actual yard. You can hear them barking once inside but that’s it. My dog is very reactive and we had no issues getting to and from the car just something to keep in mind. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!Lilah B.

55This is a really nice sniffspot. My 2 dogs had a great time running around and sniffing all the landscaping. It's very private and really clean! No poops from previous visitors. I enjoyed watching the hummingbirds come to the feeder and perch in the apple(?)tree. Being a typical urban lot, it's not huge, but it was just fine for my 2 standard poodles. Thank you! Jayne O.

55This was my first time at this location. My dog Mae had a wonderful time! She’s an 18 month old Great Dane/mastif mix with a lot of energy. She had such a great run. Thanks for letting her play in your yard!Wendy Y.

55Very large secure yard. My pup enjoyed playing fetch! I wish I’d gotten there before the sun went down, because my pup kept losing the ball. Thanks for letting us use your yard!Khalsa J.

FAQ About University Place 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. 0% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the University Place 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 365 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 514 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.
