55Beautiful large field with everything promised! Took my dog and his 2 elderly dog friends and they ran and sniffed and loved it. I also loved the rocking chair in the middle of the field. Kristi H.

55Absolutely one of our favorite places. The dogs love it - it’s spacious and interesting and beautiful. I’m so grateful that my dogs have the opportunity to run and play like other - less barky/growlie - pups. I can see the joy in them as they bound through this lovely parcel of land, so generously shared. Jaimee K.

55Wonderful open grassy field to throw the ball! We had fun watching the birds, listening to frogs in the adjacent pond and stretching our legs :) picnic table and toy basket were lovely additions. There was a dog in the neighboring yard, heads up for those that may be a problem for. My dog is reactive towards other dogs and was totally unphased, the space is big enough it wasn’t an issue at all! Liana C.

55My boys LOVED our visit to this awesome sniffspot. It feels like stepping right off the street and onto a trail. There are lots of blackberries so my dogs got a few thorns in their feet, but the space was large, paths were clear, and I enjoyed watching my city dogs testing creek crossing. Thank you for this oasis! Elizabeth C.

55This is a wonderful spot. My dog enjoyed walking the trails and splashing in the creek. There are some open areas to play fetch. The host provides towels and wipes to help with muddy dog paws. There is also fresh drinking water, toys, and poop bags. We would love to visit again some time. Kristin S.

55Great spot! When you pull into driveway, turn through yard over to Pasture on the right. Drive in and close gate. Well fenced and lots of toys in yard to discover. Horses in next field, very mellow. Beth B.

55This is a great spot, and only 10 minutes from the west end of the St. John’s bridge! Perfect for some intense games of fetch, and our dogs loved sniffing around. The fencing is very secure, grass is short enough to not lose the ball, the spot is fairly flat for humans that might not want as much of a work out as their dogs, and everything is very simple :) the neighbors do have a dog who was out barking at the fence while we were there—the spot was big enough that we kept to the other end and our dogs weren’t bothered. The wetland area is fairly small and is shallow, our dogs loved playing in it (and no trouble with cockle burrs for our short-haired dogs)!Hannah B.

55Great large open space. We were warmly welcomed since it was our first visit.
Be careful of tripping hazards as like most fields there are some gophers or moles active here.
I love it being wide open. Directions were easy and accurate. We’ll be back! Thanks!Lisa W.

55Thank you Roshan for sharing such a great yard with others! I love there are so many adventures packed into that 1.5 acres: great smells, a stream, fallen logs to climb over and little slopes to walk up and down.
We will definitely be back!Zoe A.

55Lovely space with an open field to play and some trails with plenty of tree shade. The trails are a bit steep in some areas so definitely wear sturdy shoes! The creek is a nice touch and my dog loved splashing around in it!Karel C.

55We learned quickly this is not a place to throw balls (too many blackberry bushes), but if your pup likes to explore, then this place is awesome! A creek, a trail, two smaller open areas -- all completely fenced in. Tater's friend Grant joined her today and they played chase through the entire place and had the best time! In the creek, over the creek, down the trail ... oftentimes we'd lose sight of them but they'd always come charging back. After 45 minutes or so, pooped dogs. Success!!Brenda D.

55Very secure fencing and fun trails to wander the property on. We didn’t see or hear any problematic triggers during our visit. Some of the fence line is shared with neighbors, so maybe at times you could encounter people on the other side in their yards. Some of the creek crossing areas were a little challenging for my senior dog, but she managed just fine.
If you have a pup that is reactive to fast moving cars, getting out of the car could be a bit challenging at times as cars really fly up that road. However, once you’re inside, it could be a great spot to safely practice desensitization because part of the field area parallels the road and you can control your distance from the triggers. Just something I thought about as my reactive girl used to really struggle with wanting to chase/bark at cars and I was grateful today that it’s not a struggle for her much anymore.
Awesome spot, and we’ll definitely be back. Katie R.

55A true slice of forest and creekside nature! Lots of space for ball playing, trails and a creek. My dogs loved it! Be aware there are a lot of burrs in the lower field and the trails can be a bit steep and uneven for folks with difficulty walking. We didn’t have an issue though! Lea H.

55A lovely, quiet space with plenty of room for the pups to run and the parents to walk. We enjoyed that the area was mowed and also the little bin of additional items like baby wipes to clean paws! Was surprised how not muddy this location was, considering all of the recent rain! Tracy L.

FAQ about our Ilwaco dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
How can I find dog fields in Ilwaco?
There are 8 dog fields in the Ilwaco area. The most popular dog field is The Lavender Hill Mob. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Ilwaco area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog field is The Lavender Hill Mob. The most expensive dog field is The Lavender Hill Mob. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
