55We have two Shelties (one a puppy) who needed to run free, and this garden was a perfect spot for them! All the winding paths and soft mulch/leaves made a great area for playing chase. Even after all the rain we've had recently, the pathways were not muddy or slippery. Someone puts a great deal of love (and work) into this lovely garden! We will definitely be back, and I look forward to seeing the space at all the different times of the year.Ruth S.

55I love this spot! My dogs loved it too! The setting allowed our dogs to run around like in an obstacle course and we played hide and seek. Though it looks busy, it was perfect for my 2 large dogs! Highly recommend! Yael O.

55Another wonderful day in the Secret Garden with pups dashing about the twisting trails. They do love to chase each other along all the winding paths. And I appreciate all the mulch and leaves that keep them from getting too muddy. Great earthy smells everywhere to keep their noses exercised, too. It’s quite a treat for our Shelties to come here!Ruth S.

55We love stopping by this garden to let the pups run and chase each other. They absolutely love zig-zagging around the pathways. This spot has quickly become one of our regular treats for the dogs. Thanks for sharing such a fun space! Ruth S.

55A great spot close to home with nice paths through cute vegetation. My dogs had a nice time sniffing all the plants. Unfortunately one decided to dig a hole by the garden but the host was understanding. Autumn W.

55This is such a beautiful garden! Highly recommend visiting, especially for low key dogs that love exploring like mine. Really appreciated the well maintained bark paths, peaceful atmosphere, patio chairs, toys and water bowl. Hoping to go back soon!Teddy T.

55We have loved coming here in the winter, and it’s even better now in the late springtime with so many things blooming and filling out. What a beautiful spot! Our Shelties love running through all the trails and chasing each other. We also play hide-and-seek to practice their recall/come commands. We all have a wonderful time, and the dogs are worn out and ready to nap. Perfect! Ruth S.

55The human really enjoyed the sniff spot. My one explorer was all over the backyard and had a great time. My other one found the porch to be the best place to lounge after he did a loop or two in the garden. Will be back! Angela B.

55Nice spot pretty quiet while I was there at noon. The fence is nice and secure for little dogs. Not a lot of open free space as stated I loved all the little trails. It was like a nice peaceful garden / jungle. My 12 pound JRT loved sniffing around. A nice mix of sun and shade in the yard. Will be back.Danielle B.

55This was our first time using sniff spot and we had a really great time! The garden is dense and a beautiful sight. My dog enjoyed stretching her legs and all the good sniffs. This place is so close to our house and so fair priced. We will definitely be “regulars.” I will say, it is a neighborhood and there are other dogs around. It says it in the description. It wasn’t a problem for us. In fact I thought it was good desensitization practice for my pup. If your dog is super sensitive to that kind of stuff though, you should keep that in mind. Emma H.

55Aldi had a blast, winding his way through the walkways, head down for his sniffing enjoyment for a good half hour! Then, his sniffing pleasure satisfied, he would play hide and seek as I wandered the paths, hiding sometimes… a fun morning! The porch is lovely and shady, and there’s even a human swing there. My husband sat on his walker on the porch, and the divan or sofa was lovely to relax on, too.
Accessibility was okay for us, as my husband can make it up the single step to the porch, and his longer-than-ordinary Veloped walker made the turns to get there fine, too. Aldi loved his visit, and now that we know the lay of the land, we can bring reading material on less-than-great-weather days! Today was just gorgeous, though. Loved hearing the neighborhood chickadees, and the calling Red-shoulders Hawk, too! We will happily return!Barbara, Dan & Aldi G.

55Loved this spot! It’s not an open space to run around but there are millions of things to sniff and many paths to walk around the garden. My old dogs loved meandering around the flowers and fruit trees smelling all the smells in a nice shaded environment. Being surrounded by all the plants, flowers, and trees was magical. My dogs had a great time. We will definitely be back! Johnny G.

FAQ about our Eugene 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.

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 14 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
