55We had an absolutely wonderful time here. My partner and 2 friends came with and enjoyed getting to get all the puppy energy out of our 6mo old pup. We really enjoyed having the kiddies pool up, the water dispenser for the dog bowl, and the bin of toys. Thanks for having us!Steven S.

55This is one of my favorite spots to bring my dogs. It’s wide open and there’s a slight hill that sits in the middle of the yard so getting my dogs to run up and down that is a quick way to burn some energy, myself included! There’s lots of toys and seating and I’ve never worried about my husky mixes finding a way out for a “choose their own adventure.” There’s HUGE ripe blackberries all along the fence line this time of year that I plucked a couple of while walking around and it made a fun little bonus snack.
I did notice that there were several dog poops left unattended on the east side of the yard in the tree line by the neighbor’s and picked up a couple while I was there. I don’t blame the host as the rest of the yard is great, but just a reminder to those using larger sniff spots to try your best to keep an eye on where your dog runs off to potty. It seems like that’s a favored potty spot and the hill obscures the vision from the seating area closest to the driveway, which is likely why people didn’t see their dogs in the act.Alyssa K.

55This place is so awesome! My pup had the best time ever and so did I seeing her enjoy it while also knowing she was safe as the fence was very secure. Lenny loved playing in the creek and running and jumping over it and through all the trails. The place was clean and Roshan was very responsive when I had questions. We can’t wait to go back.

55What a great spot for fun with Lulu and my 6-year-old grandson. Trails, footbridges, creek, blackberries, shady and sunny spots. Easy in/out. All the supplies — people snacks, dog water, washing-up, towels — we don’t need to bring a thing. Trails very well maintained. Cute chairs and table, but we enjoyed the hiking and exploring too much to sit! Michele S.

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.

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 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 198 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 349 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
