55This was a very pleasant SniffSpot. Our giant dogs had plenty of room to stretch out their legs, and enjoyed the ideal mix of sun and shade. The location was easy to get to and communication with the hosts prior to our visit was prompt and friendly. We appreciated the security, cleanliness, and thoughtfulness of our hosts. We’ll be back!Ilana C.

55Excellent location for fetch and a good run! The area is fully fenced, very clean, and has a nice, shaded place for the dog parents to hang out. The owners were kind enough to leave out toys and water for our visit. They also have waste bags on site which is very convenient. Michelle T.

55Perfect place to spend a morning with our pups! This spot is clean, well kept, and well appointed (water for dogs and humans, toys, chairs, and a tent for shade). Great mix of sun, shade, open space and trees. Elly K.

55Great spot! Peaceful and secure with nice grass and good mix of sun and shade. Hosts were very accomodating with water for dogs and water bottles for people, toys, chairs, shade canopy, and extra bonus of a remarkably clean porta potty. Perfect size and layout to give the dogs plenty of space to run and explore without losing sight of them. On my list of places to return!Jill C.

55Plenty of open space for my reactive dog to run and explore in the two fields that were right next to each other. The host provided water (for humans and dogs), toys, dog bowl, and chairs under a canopy. Very clean and well maintained. Connie O.

55This was our first visit to this Sniffspot. The best compliment I can give to this location is that we will definitely be coming back!
We have an adult rescue GSD who came to us with some dog reactivity issues. So we are looking for large Sniffspot locations to tire out a big dog, with as few animal distractions as possible. This Sniffspot definitely provides the environment we are looking for. Quiet location, secure fencing, and plenty of soft terrain for running and ball chasing.
The owners have clearly put a lot of effort into maintaining the site. The pastures are well manicured, and there are thoughtful amenities for both the dogs and owners. Overall, the location is as nice as any other large Sniffspot that we've ever been to.
The only limiter for us is that the site is in a semi-rural location that is a bit of a drive from our home.Michael M.

FAQ about our Ephrata fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Ephrata?

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
