55it’s a really great spot. caught the . last of the sun & enjoyed the expanding shade. my pup loved sniffing around, snacked on some blackberries & watched the horse over the fence.
so much space to run & play with toys (some excellent ones were provided, & we also brought a couple balls), and loved that there was a little kiddy pool out for her to cool off in & weave poles, if she wished.abby q.

55We will definitely be back. The space was clean and perfect for tiring our cattle dog. Our girl loved running back to the pool to cool off after running and the extra seating was perfect with a gorgeous view. I can’t recommend this spot enough if you have a high energy breed and need space to chuck their ball. Coming from NW Portland, the drive was beautiful and easy. Thanks again!Jasmine S.

55Kris greeted me even though I was early and graciously guided me through the basics that I needed to know for our first visit. My new 6 month old Vizsla pup Toby loved it! Clean and secure. Great job, Kris! I’ll arrive on time next time. 😉🙏✨Susan B.

55What a great farm property to run or relax and enjoy beautiful Sauvie Island! Breezy, our young Lab, loved it and so did we. Thanks for sharing this great spot! And the cows in the next field were very interesting to Breezy! We can’t wait to visit again!Kathy W.

55This place is awesome, and the hosts are super nice! it’s got a great entrance/very secure. Besides being fully fenced, one thing I like is the fence alongside the road has a large shrub row of blackberry. This adds some extra protection and noise deadening from the road, which isn’t that busy anyways. My dogs always love it and leave tired and happy.
I HIGHLY recommend this spot if you are looking for something larger, especially given the relatively short distance from Portland.Alex A.

55Excellent spot with so much wide open space to run as well as some agility equipment and lots of toys. My dog and I truly enjoyed it. Even though it's a bit out of the way, it's a beautiful drive and so worth it when you get there. Previous user didn't pick up their dog's poop, but that's not the owner's fault. (Come on people! this Sniffspot even provides doggie bags. No excuse, put down your phone and pay attention to your dog). Cheryl M.

55This was our 2nd visit and it was as much fun as the first. This is a great place for dogs to be able to really stretch out and run. I have no doubt a 3rd visit is in the near future. Connie D.

55Lovely well kept open field perfect for an energetic dog to run & roam. The two horses in the adjacent pasture were a great curiosity to my dog & came to say hello at the fence. Caren M.

55Great place to run around in a safe, beautiful pasture next to horses. The owners have poop bags and a bin available. The only note I have is not to fully trust Google maps to get you there! Can't wait to return. Alyx A.

55This is a spot I love coming back to every few weeks. It’s nice and close to home, there’s always a ball rolling around somewhere. Cute horses too! Thank you for sharing your space. Faithfull P.

55New favorite spot! HUGE field with secure fencing. Such a relaxing setting with a great setup (a covered area with plenty of chairs). The hosts left pools out filled with fresh water for the dogs to cool off. And there are tons of blackberry bushes for u-pick! We’ll be back! Allison S.

FAQ about our Ilwaco 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.
