55A truly lovely yard, and so well-maintained! Hermes and I had a fantastic time exploring the wooded paths, dry creek bed, and orchard space 😍 Hermes said no thank you to the pool but it was clear and cold, and he appreciated multiple water bowls around the yard. Ed was very hospitable and the bandana and treats were icing on the cake!Wendy L.

55Ed and Brigette go above and beyond. They have all the supplies and more! Toys, bowls, water, poop bags, chairs, drinks for the customers, and more! He even gave us a gift bag with goodies and handkerchiefs for our dogs. The yard is very open with a nice trail to walk on. We are definitely coming back! Rosalani F.

55Love Riley's dog park! A lot of room for zoomies, play and sniffing. The hosts go that extra mile providing water and treats for the dogs, a splash pool (which my dog was in to cool down from all the running) and more. The area is secure so no need to worry about our dogs escaping. We could watch them play and enjoy. I have recommended this spot to my friends. Thank you for opening up your area. We all had a great time! Sue and RubySue M.

55Such a cool spot! They were so sweet and gave the pups bandanas and treats. There were LOTS of sniffy spots, plenty of space for fetch, and a relaxing trail walk. Alyssa S.

55This was our 1st time using Sniffspot & everything was perfect! Couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Less than 5mins from our home, our two pups loved exploring Hal & Colleen’s place. We will definitely be back! Such a nice couple, thank you for sharing your wonderful yard with us. Kymberlee C.

55Amazing spot for running around and engaging sniffers! There are a few puddles that form if wet so make sure you’re up for a muddy pup! They have a covered gazebo for us hoomans and provide fresh water for the tired pups! Fence was secure and there was no droppings from previous dogs. Can’t wait to come back!Savannah G.

55For price, availability and space- my new favorite Sniffspot. Big enough for my dog and nine year old niece but not too big where they might be getting into trouble. Maya C.

55After weeks of trying to find the time to visit this Sniff Spot, it was worth the wait! Hal and Colleen were about as kind and welcoming as two people could be. My dogs lost their mind "sniffing" and exploring the yard. Then we quickly moved on to fetch, bubbles (which we brought) and our tug toy. It was a small piece of paradise. Other than the cabana/covering, what I appreciated the most is that there were no neighbors on at least three sides of the Sniff Spot. There was one fence along the street, but for the most part no other dogs for my pups to react to. They just chilled, went about their business, and played until they couldn't play any more. I cannot wait to go back!Kerry W.

55We have been coming here since our almost-two-year-old aussiedoodle was a wee-pup. She loves this spot and will race to the gate the moment she's out of the car. Lots to sniff and plenty of toys and water. Her favorite game now is fetch and there is lots of room to run with few distractions. The addition of the gazebo is a nice touch for warm, sunny days.

55We always have a great time when we visit here. Today was more special because I got to visit with Colleen & Hal.
My dog is hilarious. He’ll put up with me and Colleen, and the moment he sees Hal, we are chop liver. 😂 My boy loves Hal and it seems he enjoys playing with him more than me or Colleen. It’s actually beautiful to see. When Hal’s not out there with us, he sticks by Colleen. It’s hilarious and sweet.
Of course we will be visiting again soon.Carrie F.

FAQ about our Rainier 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 Rainier?
There are 123 small dog parks in the Rainier 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.
