55cute little space. probably best for a smaller dog… or maybe just one dog (i’ve got two). be careful with bouncy balls as i bounced one into the neighbor’s yard (but luckily got it back). location is super convenient for townies. Jeffrey J.

55My dog and her buddy had a wonderful romp in Erin’s yard. It was a great location for us, no problem with parking, and very safe for the dogs. Thank you for making your space available, Erin!Janie C.

55This is a cozy spot with lots of trees and greenery for exploring. The patio swing is a great place to relax while your dog is sniffing. Completely fenced in so no escape worries. Clucking chickens heard from neighboring yard but not visible. Will be returning. Marcy H.

55Our dog loved his first Sniffspot! The space was clean and exactly as listed. Street parking was easy, and the space was a quiet experience for our shy pup. We’d definitely book again. Holland M.

55The large yard has several outbuildings/structures that Ollie enjoyed sniffing around. There are a couple of spots where a ball or other toy might roll under some hedges but we had a great time here. Most of it was just spent walking and sniffing around. We heard some chickens in a neighbors yard but it was a good way to get acquainted with their sounds from a distance.Ina D.

55My dog enjoyed this quiet backyard! He was able to run around and let out his energy :) he was curious of the chickens he heard but it didn’t bother him. Will definitely come back soon! Bibian P.

55Lovely, quite backyard. You could hear chickens next door which was fun for my 8 month puppy who is new to exploring the world. Thanks so much for the opening your space up 🤍Lauren R.

55We had a nice time on our second visit. While completely out of the host’s control, the neighbor’s cat was sitting outside the gate when we arrived. The cat slinked away as we approached the gate but I wanted to give a heads up for anyone visiting this spot who might have a cat-reactive dog.Ina D.

55Perfect spot for us! Close in and my two little pups had fun exploring all of the nooks and crannies the yard offers. I personally enjoyed the covered bench swing with the little side table for my water and phone. We’ll be back! Thank Julie K.

55This spot is really easy to find and was amazing! It is truly fully fenced even for my small dog (which is often an issue) and was super cozy. There weren't any toys set out, but we always bring our own anyway so not an issue! The backyard has a lot of trees and other bushes/plants that my dog had a lot of fun exploring. I love having a lot of places to sit down too. The yard might be a little small if you have a bigger dog, but it was perfect for us and I can't wait to go back! Olivia S.

55This is a great spot for smaller or lower energy dogs. The yard is nice, with lots of trees, shrubs, & interesting nooks & crannies for exploring. Higher energy dogs might need more space, however. But the location is great & this is a good spot to visit if you need some quick outdoor time with your pup(s).Michael B.

55Easy to access, clean, and a good amount of space for zooms and training. Enjoyed our time in this spot and will definitely return!
Just a note for anyone with reactive dogs: When we first entered, the neighbor in the yard behind had their dog outside and it barked at us briefly and ran to look through the fence. The owner noticed us though and took their dog in a few minutes after we arrived. The fence facing into this yard is chain link and mostly covered over but there are some little spots where dogs could peek through and see each other.Ashley M.

55The smaller sized yard was perfect for my pup who is just learning recall. It was big enough for zoomies, but small enough that I could keep a close eye on her the whole time. Amanda T.

FAQ about our Ilwaco small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Ilwaco?
There are 10 small dog parks in the Ilwaco area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
