55This spot is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the city! My pups loved it! They loved all the smell of the assortment of plants. The only draw back were the gaps fencing (fully disclosed by the owner). My pups are medium size and one likes to make a run for it. If this is not an issue for your dog, then this is the best spot and very convenient if you live in the city. RM A.

55We had a short visit on a super hot sunny day. The host was so accommodating and responsive. Mosquito repellent (much needed) and water was provided. If your pup is particular with water, bring your own if easier! There were sediments in the water from the hose (and I couldn't get the nozzle to work in a way I could hose her down from the heat, but likely a user error on my part). Gaps in fencing (as disclosed by host) may be a challenge for smaller doggos especially with the property a corner lot by the sidewalk (depends on your doggo!). We did inform the host of the side gate which doesn't close/latch and it was unfortunately left open (I should've checked before letting her off leash once we were inside the front gate). We had a minor hiccup running into the adjacent neighbor's dog. Julie is aware and noted it for future. Definitely check the entire space before letting your pup off leash. A wonderful location for locals and visitors alike! Amy K.

55Gorgeous space! We need a safe space for our two dogs to run around and this is perfect. On the hillโ so for Capitol Hill people that need a private park this meets the mark. Thanks for sharing, Julie!Sharon B.

55So easy to enter and exit. Such a clean, peaceful and beautiful yard! Dogs had an amazing time! Only slight concern was there was part of the fence was a bit crumpled down in the corner. But other than that, perfect place for doggie zoomie time! Vicky M.

55Our two labs enjoyed their playtime! The yard was well kept and provided a safe play space. Thankfully the weather was great, high 70s, so the dogs did ok with the minimal shade the yard provides. Would definitely return if we are in the area! Millie J.

55Beautiful yard, but not great for reactive dogs due to high traffic/high visibility of strangers and other dogs. Fence is chain link and proximity to a nearby school/church makes it busier than an average spot. My dog enjoyed fetch here, but was on high alert the whole time with all the people.YANELLE G.

55This yard was the perfect small play area for my large- and medium-sized dogs. There is plenty of room for them to run and play and the host had left water bowls full and out for us to use during our visit. There were plenty of balls and toys available. We had a great time! If your dogs like to eat plants, you'll have to stay on them because there are many opportunities for those pups to find foliage to munch. Meg O.

FAQ about our Hillcrest Heights dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Hillcrest Heights area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 503 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 61 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
