55Really nice sniff spot agility equipment, kids area and benches. Lots of room for dogs to run. Don't follow Google for directions that will send you to the wrong place. Sniff spot signs marked on the road when entering the area. Park on grass area not the concrete. Bree C.

55Great spot! Both of my dogs left exhausted. Very clear signage and instructions so I feel very confident upon arrival. There’s plenty for dogs to do and smell.
You are able to see and hear horses from the spot but Forest had warned me ahead of time and was very kind to move them to the barn so they were a bit further away - I think the horse watching was one of dog’s favourite part. We’ll definitely be back!! Jenna C.

55Great spot!!!
Bit of a long drive for me, and I didn’t see the message about parking because I was driving when it arrived, but the lady was very kind and patient with me in my confusion. The parking is off 248th street, not 52nd ave.
My dog loved it there!!!!!! Jessica F.

55Our first time visiting this spot. Lots of great agility equipment. Unfortunately my dog was not interested but was happy to watch the birds and fetch his ball. The area was clean and as described. We will be back :) Kathleen R.

FAQ about our Richmond dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash 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 city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs 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. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
