55This was exactly the kind of spot I needed test out my very newly adopted Korean rescue’s response to being off leash. It’s really hard to find a fully fenced in spot in Vancouver so I’m glad Aimee’s spot is only a 14 minute drive away.
My little guy was tired from a pretty busy morning but to see him get all the sniffs in, have little burst of zoomies, then eventually getting into nap mode tells me this will be a good spot to practice his recall and off-leash manners once we start his obedience school.
There was a very brief mild-panic moment for me when someone came to the gate during our session, but my dog was sitting and not close enough to bolt and whoever was there quickly realized there was a dog in the yard.
Overall though, I’m happy to have a secure place for him to play without fear or distractions while he comes out of his shell.Delna D.

55Space was clean and host was incredibly friendly and welcoming! She popped out to say hi and even had some treats to share with our pup!
It’s been very difficult finding a good Sniffspot in the Vancouver area so this one being closer to home than we normally go to means we will definitely be back!Nathan N.

55Was on the fence about going because of the rain, but so happy I did!! My 2 dachshunds had so much fun in this space! It was also great mental stimulation for my older one (14) as the ‘sniffing’ possibilities were endless. My younger one enjoyed the different options of balls that were there. It gave me peace of mind to have them explore in a fenced space and get their energy out. They passed out as soon as we got back in the car haha. Will definitely be back. Thanks again:)Madi G.

55Such a great spot! Having access to a fenced yard meant I could visit with my mom while making sure my dog got to have a fun time. She loved being able to run around freely (and me too!). Jessica W.

55Lots of spots to sniff at this sniff spot! My dog gets so tuckered out from zooming around, sniffing everything and exploring and lounging in the shade. Alyson B.

55This spot is great! A generous sized yard, especially for Vancouver. The visual privacy (high fence, foliage) was great for my reactive pup. He zoomed around the yard, sniffed every nook, cranny, and blade of grass, and enjoyed himself lounging in the grass chewing on sticks. I brought camping chairs but there are chairs to use, as well as a bowl and hose for fresh cold water and even a few balls to play with. With the trees and bushes there will be cool shady spots when it gets hot this summer! We’ll be back. Alyson B.

55This was such a great play date spot for our dogs! We were able to introduce our puppy to my friends dog in this neutral space. There were lots of places to play hide and seek, and it was great for my puppy to really run free. Thank you so much!!Erin B.

55This is a great little spot if you just need to let your dog off leash in a yard. It's fully enclosed and has a decent grassy area to run around. There is a big tree stump in the middle so if your pups are into chasing each other, it's ideal. But not great for longer distance sprintsAngela & Jason L.

FAQ About Vancouver 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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Vancouver 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 110 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 161 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.
