55Happy loved running and jumping off the ledge. The rope toy is genius, there was some clutter but nothing Happy could get into. Very awesome first time sniffspot! Happy rates it 10/10 biscuits! Shoshana E.

55Brought my puppy here for the first time and she loved it. I don't think she ever got such a big outside area to run around before. Grounds were relatively clean and dry, no sign of other dog waste. There were a few toys that were chewed up/destroyed but plenty of others she enjoyed playing with. She had such a blast. We will definitely be back.Gina N.

55The spot was great! Easy to find. Tons of room to run, yard was clean, and toys to play with. We were hoping it wouldn’t rain (luckily it didn’t), but there is a covered deck with chairs to sit on. Highly recommend!Ashlee A.

55This was our favorite sniffspot so far. Awesome! So big, so much room to run around, tons of toys, our dog loved it (and so did we!!). We live in the city but booked it because we were going to be on the east side and we’ll be back!! Well worth the drive. It was very quiet, which is great for our slightly nervous guy. Also very safe and secure. Libby O.

55We had an amazing experience at this sniff spot! We are traveling from Portland and had to get our pup some exercise time and this was the perfect place! So many toys and activities at this site. Also tons of space to run around! Our pup is tired and happy after our visit!Christine H.

55Great spot! Plenty of room to run or fetch a ball, and a generous array of balls, chuckits, dog towel, poop bags, and water bowl all ready for visitor use. There are several spots to sit including one under the porch roof which would be wonderful for rainy days. I would describe this spot more on the "relaxed" side of the spectrum and less on the "manicured" side of the spectrum. A great place to let your dog blow off some steam!Courtney B.

55We have been visiting this Sniffspot for a while now & we love it! The amenities are wonderful & the fence is secure for my escape artist. She’s also highly reactive & the outside noises/commotion are definitely manageable. Would highly recommend!Hannah H.

55Great backyard. Lots of doggie toys, water, treats, etc., even a towel but it wasn’t necessary. I live in a duplex with no fenced yard. I hate off leash dog parks after Lily had her tail bitten. This was great I’ll be back! Nina M.

55Great spot for the pup to sniff and run. There was much more than I expected- including balls, treats, water bowl, tree rope, towels, and bags. The yard is large with plenty of room to run around. Our pup is really curious about everything. Especially things that are none of her business! She kept checking out the windows that were propped up against the house. Other than that, the spot is perfect. We loved our time there and it's a great place for our pup to run around and sniff around. Rosie W.

55 this was my first time using Sniffspot, everything was exactly as it said it would be, great space! Felt very welcome and my pup made herself right at home :) THANK YOU!
P.S if your dog is reactive be aware that one of the sides of the gate is facing the street so there are cars passing and people walking occasionally. Cam X.

55it was great, as always. The two dogs were pooped for the rest of the day. The grass to mud ratio was fantastic! Only the paws were a little muddy. It’s still very well covered in grass for the winter. It’s my favorite sniff spot. Miriam B.

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.
