55This is a great Sniffspot! My oldest dog was “too cool for school” and didn’t get the sand zoomies like I thought she would but my youngest dog had a blast playing fetch. The area is well maintained and secure and the drive out from Portland was easy and beautiful. 😊Christina H.

55A fantastic place for our dog to run, sniff and play. Lots of new smells. We appreciated the water that was out along with the basket of toys. The spot was fantastic and super easy to access. We will be back!Susan F.

55Great place, very secure. I have a 4m old puppy and had no concerns about her getting out. Big enough to wander and get some exercise. Glad I came and would come again.Marc L.

55My dogs loved it! It was perfect for a rainy day. My 4 lb chi was able to wiggle under the gate and try to leave, but if your dog is bigger than a kitten, I doubt it will be a problem for you. 😂Charlie D.

55A perfect indoor arena to let my dogs run around and play ball while getting out of the Sun. I also will be using it to get out of the rain. Bring a bowl and some water. I believe that there is a spigot that can be used for water if needed? But I would ask the host. Thank you for the lovely stay. Kyra S.

55Great venue! We had a good time in the shade on a hot day. Water was freely available to our dogs, who made good use of the space. The soft surface was great for my puppy’s immature joints. Recommended!Ann C.

55It was our first time. We found it, and got in easily. My dog was scared because she’s never seen or heard horses before, so she wouldn’t play, but I think we’ll keep trying because it would be a great place to go on rainy days!Stephanie O.

55GPS will take you to the wrong part of the barn, so make sure you drive to the other entrance of the barn where there are sniffspot signs. So many smells our pup wore herself out in half an hour! Good spotAdam S.

55Wonderful visit-the arena is HUGE and our puppies used every inch of it! I didn’t know what to expect as for the medium that would cover the arena floor-it was nice and clean sandy turf. After playing I wiped my dog down but the towel stayed clean.
A word of caution, if you throw one of the provided balls out for the dogs to play with, keep sight of it. We had a panic moment when our time was up but we couldn’t find one last tennis ball! It was coated in sand and perfectly camouflaged. Luckily we literally stumbled on it on our way to the door.

55Perfect for the winter when it’s wet and gets dark early. The horses can be heard but not seen, was a bit distracting and caused barking but we did our best to keep our dog focused on us and not them.Leeann L.

55Great indoor space to visit on rainy days! Our pup had a blast. The arena is spacious and perfect for burning off energy. Just a heads-up: we noticed some horse droppings near the entrance gate during our visit, which our dog found a little too interesting and decided to sample. If your pup has a similar tendency, you might want to keep an eye out. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot, and we’d definitely come back!Rachael L.

FAQ about our Sherwood 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. 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 place for you and your dog. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sherwood area are 5 stars.
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 209 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 36 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
