55Gertie loves this spot
55Great spot in the middle of Ballard for my golden to get the zoomies out. Lots of toys and nooks and crannies to sniff. Have been multiple times, is a lifesaver. 
35The yard is a decent size but is very muddy so wear boots. The fence also is on a busy street so the spot isn’t great for reactive dogs. All in all, an okay experience. Nothing extremely terrible but also nothing extremely magnificent.
55This has become our regular spot and still the best place in Ballard to work out those zoomies.
55My dog and I have been to this yard several times and have always had a blast! Today was rainy and cold, so I almost didn't book a time for us to visit. However, I'm really glad I did! Sure, there was mud, but my dog didn't care. She got to run and play to her heart's content, and then we came home and she had a warm bath. Excellent way to spend a dreary afternoon!
55Great yard!! Well kept, tennis balls and toys for the pups and secure fencing. We had so much fun. We will be back- highly recommend. 🙂
55Haven’t been able to leave reviews until the app update, but can’t recommend this enough if you’re in Ballard!
55So much space to run around in
55Frankenstein’s favorite place!
55Awesome!

Description

This extra long yard is set up perfectly for getting in a good run. Well fenced, with lots of toys and smells. It's muddy and there are a few holes in the middle. There used to be grass, but we gave up. We do our best to fill in the holes. This yard is often 10-15 degrees cooler than the surrounding area, don't forget a jacket! Overhead patio lights cast a nice glow over the rest of the yard at night and we have added a tent canopy for extra rain protection. Heads up, this Sniffspot will be closing in the next 8-10 weeks, as the property is scheduled for demolition. We have loved sharing our yard with you and we are glad to have made so many new friends. Thank you!

Hazards

Occasionally holes are dug by visiting dogs and may take awhile to fill back in. There are several gaps under the chainlink fence that small dogs can fit under. The connected yard is fully secure, though.

We live in one of the few houses in downtown Ballard. Our landlord blessed us with a ridiculous yard, but our dog is 18 and can't make full use of it. We've been coordinating puppy play-dates with neighbors for years and are now extending that option to new folks we haven't met yet. Come hang out!
