Me and my pup had a great time on these trails! Curtis is super nice and greeted us when we arrived and gave us some info about his property and the trails. Highly recommend!

Awesome spot. Trails are marked, run through the woods and up the mountain, and the creek is gorgeous. Curtis met us and recommended where to start. Most definitely plan on coming back to let the dogs roam the creek. Saw some deer crossing the driveway, and we heard some chicken noises from the driveway that made me giggle pretty hard. Lovely neighborhood. Great property.

Great spot! The dogs had a blast. I'll definitely have to come back and explore more. Tip: Use Google Maps instead of Waze to get here.

This is easily the most beautiful spot we’ve ever visited! It’s an amazing oasis for humans to hang out while their dogs enjoy all of the space to run and explore. The fence is very secure. I’d recommend this location to anyone looking for a relaxing place to take their dog.

Such a nice spot! Very big yard with lots of shade and a hose to cool off with! Comfy chairs too! Very quiet and peaceful. Very nice and considerate host. We would definitely recommend!

This is my favorite local spot so far! It's very safe, with a diverse environment of flowers and grasses and interesting things to smell, there is water available, and most of all lots of wide open space for the dogs to have fun and negotiate the rules of play. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to utilize such a nice space for my dogs social well being!

Beautiful property! Plenty of room for the dogs to run and sniff, and plenty of shade as well. Owner was kind enough to have a water bowl out, and a hose where it could be refilled too. Property is easy to find and the yard is easy to get in and out of. So glad to have this spot in Salem!

The location was very nice, lots of shade & a couple of chairs to sit in. The yard was very large & there was plenty of room for playing fetch! The hose was easy access & they had a water dish available to use. The host had poop bags available & a trash can out, so cleaning up after our dog was very convenient. 10/10, I’d highly recommend this spot if you need a little space for your pup to stretch their legs!

Very nice, large open space. Easy access to water if needed and a nice shady spot to sit under the pergola. Will definitely go back!

Bethany D.

Convenient location in a quiet neighborhood! The fences and yard are well maintained and there was lots of room for the dogs to run and romp. The host provided poop bags, convenient access to a trash can, and had three water bowls already filled for us plus access to a hose. We had a great time!!! I would definitely recommend this spot and hope to visit again soon!

Our dogs loved this space. Safe and secure with lots of room for them to run around and sniff. The shady area was great to cool off as well. Sarah was helpful and easy to communicate with. We would book again if we’re ever in the area!

Very convenient location. On-street parking a few yards from the gate. Lots of shade and interesting places for my pup to stroll and sniff among bushes and plantings. Totally secure fencing.

Heather B.

November 2024

Convenient parking with a path right to the side gate. It was a great spot for afternoon fetch with my pup! The yard is fenced, there is shade from some trees, and a hose and water bowl. My dog and I were out of town and in a hotel so this was a great way to get some playtime in.

This spot was wonderful! We were able to have plenty of space to throw Wallace’s toy and play and relax. Very comfortable, easy to find, easy to find water bowl and VERY clean!! Loved!

Convenient spot for our first Sniff Spot. I think my dog inspected almost the whole fence so I am thankful it is well intact. We also saw two deer almost immediately when we arrived. We will be back!

FAQ about our Salem 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.
