55Such a great spot! Our second time here, first time was in summer and the grass was dried out so now the grass is beautifully lush! Loved the seating area for us and the toys laid out. Cant wait to come back!Kim C.

55This was our first time at a Sniffspot and it was great! My puppy Lucy had a blast without having to worry about strangers. They had some dog toys, a picnic table, a pair of lounge chairs and a pair of camping chairs. We’ll be back!Haillee N.

55This was our first sniff spot experience- my two dogs had the best time. The space is huge and clean and perfect for playing. The dogs are happy and tired after running the yard. I appreciate the amenities including the picnic table and toys provided- as we could not find our favorite fetching ball before leaving the house. As one of my dogs is a small I was happy that such a large space was completely enclosed. We hope to return it was a great experience. Randi S.

55A great spot and an easy drive from north Portland. There was better drainage than I anticipated due to the slight slope on the property. It is right next to a road so if your dog is bothered by cars it might not be a good fit, but the mesh over the fence does mostly block them from view. We’ll be back for another visit!Tekla H.

55We brought Cooper here to see how he’d do off leash in a new-to-him area. He’s new to me so we’re working on recall. He was a champ and he LOVED playing fetch in the big area. Dana T.

55This was our first time and it was everything that I had hoped for. Easy to get to from my house very well laid out with exactly where to park and where to enter there was no questions that I had to ask. It was so nice having the picnic table and chairs we sat for a bit drinking our coffee while our girl had free reign of the place :) Water bowls were filled with extra water available. It was so nice to have the entire property to ourselves and not having to contend with anything like being at a dog park! We just adopted our Roddy from the Humane Society in October and she has never been able to just run and play with us like she did today. My girl had a great time and we can't wait to go back!

55Love this spot as always. Dogs had a blast!
This was our first day here that we saw two dogs on the other side of the fence in the adjacent field and it made me super nervous as two of my three dogs are dog selective and can be reactive. Thankfully the dogs only briefly walked by a couple of times and then left before it was much of an issue. Just something to keep in mind if you have a very reactive dog! Kristina S.

55Nice fenced area with a water bowl, places to sit, a garbage, and some helpful extras like hand sanitizer and baby wipes. Nice big open space for fetch and went home with a tired, happy dog!Anne A.

55Our three dogs loved it. After this ice storm they were feeling so cooped up so it was nice to get them out somewhere they could run and sniff without worries.Kristina S.

55Great wide open place!!! Only 11 min from our house, so it's a perfect location right in the middle of town, completely fenced, with privacy additions to most of the fencing, not to mention the trailers blocking from the house, so you really are in your own big play park!!!Shannon S.

FAQ about our Vader 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 Vader?
There are 41 small dog parks in the Vader 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.
