55Great property, and nice trails! Emmy had a great time. A little muddy at this time of year, but that's to be expected. Cute little bench near the water, great place to catch the sunset! Looking forward to future visits here. 😁Kristina S.

55Lovely spacious grounds with winding trails cut through the woods. Understandably wet and muddy in spots in spring. When you arrive at their address you need to drive straight through the gate past various pieces of equipment to a parking area. I'm sure they'll be putting direction signs up for everyone shortly. We will definitely return! Sheila S.

55I am always a bit sceptical about bringing my nervous dog to new places, but I did not regret my choice to take her for a visit at Heather’s! What a beautifully kept, secure, clean, and huge space! My dog was right at ease immediately on arrival (a miracle if there ever was one), and played her heart out for the full hour. She even tested out some of the agility equipment available! The grounds are fantastic (did not do the upgrade, but did not need to!) and quiet, Heather was great to communicate with, and I will be back for sure :) Jordan A.

55Excellent, fun, safe spot! My ESS was thrilled to have so many places to sniff, run, and play! She especially loved the splash area with running water and agility area. Will be coming back!Claudia S.

FAQ about our Portland 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.

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 59 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
