55A super nice area! The long grass was super satisfying for my hound mix to smell. It's very uneven ground so bring stable shoes! We will be back for more fun soon!Andi L.

55First time to this spot, and it will be the first of many! Great, secure place for my dogs to run and sniff, and the toys, treats, and drinks (for dogs and humans) were such a nice additional touch. Perfect spot! Kristen C.

55Nice, well maintained area, clear direction, toys and garbage supplied. Chairs available and very clean environment. Felt very safe for me and my pups. The two man gates do not have any mesh fencing on them so smaller dogs might be able to wiggle through but my dogs and I had a wonderful time!Joann H.

55Very nice pasture to run dogs, with a lot of attention to detail to items that make the spot a pleasant experience for the dogs and owners. Neat and tidy, lawn chairs, and dog toys available. Christie H.

55This spot is great! There is lots of space to run fast and many interesting smells. Liina enjoyed her visit and had her "party ears" on the whole time. The amenities were as described and I really appreciate the chairs. We'll definitely be back often. Saara K.

55This is a great spot! The area is truly fully fenced, while walking the perimeter I saw maybe one or two spots on the creek side that maybe a small dog could get under.
We did see neighbors horses but there was an entire fenced field between Sniffspot and horse field, so safe for dogs that like to chase the bigger animals! When we first arrived the hosts dogs were visible and barking in their own fenced area, my dog reactive pup didn’t seem to notice them but the host did let them in shortly. Will definitely return!

55What an amazing spot. A huge well kept field, a forest with groomed trails. My dogs were in heaven. Water and waste bags were provided and you could easily spend a couple of hours exploring with your pups. Will be back! Thank you!Matthew M.

55Wow!! Not much else a dog could want, and thought given the humans as well. We are so glad we went!!! Barb was delightful and helpfully pointed out how to find our way around. My shih tzu enjoyed the sniffs and my terrier never stopped moving. He bounded through the huge field, along the numerous trails in the woods, over logs, under brush and through the mud with a happy puppy smile. I was glad I headed the advice to wear sturdy shoes you don't mind getting a bit muddy. The field is a field (not lawn) so the terrain is uneven. Barb has done an amazing job making the trails as mud free as possible, but it is the pacific northwest and mud happens (much to my dogs delight). Good to bring a towel to wipe down your happy and pooped out pups before hopping back in the car.Cherilyn C.

55Our little family of 3 had a blast playing in a safe, clean, quiet field/forest area on a beautiful sunny day. We have cavalier king charles spaniels and they loved being able to run free. Barb was awesome and gave us some basic information and then left us to play on our own. We can't wait to go back.Angela E.

FAQ about our Anacortes small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Anacortes?
There are 81 small dog parks in the Anacortes area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
