55A little bit of everything Trail Woodland Creek Inclines Perfect first time experience. We had a lot of fun exploring, investigating, pretending we are graceful until we forget how dog and fall into the water. Haha. Gonna bring both dogs next time.
55Another BEAUTIFUL day at the park. We saw a new bridge and a lot of Cedar shavings along the paths. It was very nice although, we did enjoy sliding in the mud! 😁
55So nice to run around and explore here! Lots of smells!
55Great natural space, relaxing for dogs and humans! Nice path around the yard (muddy, but it’s the PNW!). Had a wonderful time.
55Always great! Of course muddy but this is Portland in the winter.
55Fun sniff spot for your pup to explore!
55Our dogs had the best time running the trails around the property. Nice large space in the middle of the city. Hidden gem for the pups!
55This was our first visit. My pups loved running up and down the trail and sniffing under the evergreens. Will definitely come back! The wood chips were great and having fresh towels on hand.
55Everything was just as described! We had a wonderful time!
55Awesome spot! The dogs absolutely love it. Really appreciate that they put down woodchips to help with the mud on the paths. Always a top notch snot spot

This is generally a quiet neighborhood, although we are located on a busier street. Sometimes people walk by, but can’t really see inside the property, unless you are walking along the fence line next to the street. You may see a neighbor on a rare occasion if you explore the far backside of the property along the fence. Family members may come and go during your visit, but this is in a separate fenced area and they will be aware of your privacy.

Description

Nature in the City is a unique Private Dog Park that is 1 1/2 acres of beautiful natural land with varied landscapes. Step out of the city and into our natural setting that features different areas including 2 grassy fields perfect for fetch w/discs, ropes, or toys, (balls are not best here due to all of the surrounding bushes), a couple of forested areas, a tall grassy wetland-like area, several nature trails for hiking adventures where your dog(s) can explore, run & feel free, and a healthy little creek that’s a hit with the pups. They can wade, cool off, and drink from the natural water. Your dogs will have so many different sniffing and secure off-leash exploring opportunities here! Our spot is so much more than just a fenced field! The area is diverse and so much fun for your dog(s)! This is a great spot to work on recall. There are a couple areas on the trails that are a little steep, there’s a trail where you have to walk on logs 🪵, and the little creek has to be stepped over, so people with limited mobility may have issues in these areas of the spot. There are plenty of spaces and trails that are suitable for all abilities. If you’re looking for a basic fenced field to play chuck-it then this probably isn’t your spot. We are continually working on our property, so every time you visit it will have more open space, more trails, and the blackberry bushes will be trimmed back. We provide a rain/sun shelter with 4 foldable chairs and lots of supplies including dog toys & balls, poop bags, hand sanitizer, natural bug spray, wipes, hand towels, first aid kit, and a cornhole yard game. Located outside are 2 zero-gravity reclining chairs, a kids size picnic table, and fresh drinking water for your pups. There are open areas with sun ☀️, and there is shade all day due to many large trees. Our property is fully secure with 5 to 6 ft fencing. We walk the fence line regularly and check to make sure it’s secure. We are located close-in on the Westside of Vancouver one mile from I-5 on 78th Street in West Hazel Dell near Felida. *It gets muddy in areas when it has been wet/raining outside. We have recently put down wood chips along trails and in muddy areas which help a lot! Come prepared so you enjoy your visit. **We just added 6 solar flood lights in the main field area for those of you who need to visit after dark. They light up the entryway, main field, and the shelter for about 4-5 hrs after it gets dark outside. Thank you!

Hazards

We don’t use any chemicals to protect our land, our healthy little creek, and all of the beautiful birds, bunnies, deer, and other critters and humans who live in and visit our spot. So, we have blackberry bushes throughout the property. They grow fast! We will continually cut them back and are committed to working on them regularly. There are little Gardener snakes present that hide and are rarely seen. **A couple of Yellow Jacket 🐝 nests were discovered late September/early October. We treated the nests immediately and have not seen anymore Yellow Jackets. The Yellow Jacket nests were taken care of on 10/8/24 and on 10/11/24. There shouldn’t be any future issues. (A few guests had reported a bee/yellow jacket ground nest inside the lower middle grassy area of our Sniffspot near the creek, and they were stung from disturbing the nest). PLEASE let us know if you see any Yellow Jackets during your booking so we can address any potential new nests. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water
