55Nice flat property with a small pond in the center. Overall, our dog had a great time romping through the water and chasing one of the balls that is provided in a bin. There are some small gaps in the fencing if you have a 'runner', but our dog was quite content to swim, play and stay close to us. We enjoyed a change of scene. Annie P.

55Great place for my dog, Wonder 🐕🦺 to frolic, run, and dip into the water. Still hoping he’ll swim someday 🤣
The space is clean, pleasant, beautiful! Jane M.

55Fantastic place! The pond was so wonderful for our playdate with two water-loving retrievers. The pond is in the middle of a big mowed field, but it is ringed with enough trees to provide shade. The field is also surrounded by trees, so there is plenty of shade on the edges of the big open spaces. If this spot was closer to home, we would be there all the time. Margaret T.

55What a lovely property! Thank you for sharing it! It was perfect for our old lady as well as our young boy who enjoyed a few zoomies. For me too as I walk with a cane :-). Nice and level, and the pond is an added attraction. A real treat! We’ll definitely be back.Nancy D.

55Great spot! Tons of flat open space for zoomies, a pond to splash in, super easy to access just off the freeway. Wouldn't be great for dogs determined to get out but why would they want to?? Tonya K.

55Beautifully maintained large open grass field with a pond in the middle and plenty of shade, water, toys and treats!
We invited a friend with a rescue who is very nervous in the city and it was so nice to see her running her little heart out and relaxing! We all had a blast and would definitely come back. Thank you for having us!Laura C.

55A lovely spot, we really enjoyed it and we will be back.
A huge field, surrounded by blackberry bushes and wire fencing. It should keep your dog in unless the dog is really an intrepid explorer.
There is a small pond in the middle, which provides lovely shade from tall old trees, a bench, and a table for your belongings.
If you're trying to find the big pond, which took me a while, if you walk directly south from the entry, where the orange bucket is, you can see some of the colors on the houses that share the pond and it's easy to find. While I was here I downloaded a compass app, Compass Steel by SimplyWerx for Android, free and no permissions needed.
We are looking forward to coming back when the blackberries are in season, my dog is a huge fan.
My dog was rescued from the Utah desert and didn't really know what to do about the ponds. My last dog was a water dog and would have totally loved it here.
It would be a particularly fun place for someone with a couple dogs where you can play fetch and cool off afterwards.
One unexpected downside for me, there's a fair amount of wasps. I am allergic to them and I forgot my EpiPen. Next time I will remember!
I'm not sure where the dog water is, probably that is the black hose. I don't like to share my dog bowl with other dogs, so I brought a bowl and gave him my own water, which was fine. But you might want to bring your own bowl.
With those minor caveats, it turned out just fine.Tani B.

55Wonderful wide open field for dogs to run around. Loved the bench and tote of toys. They even had bottles of water and dog dishes for our pups. If your dog likes to swim there is a pond, but right now it is pretty muddy. But they do have a hose to rinse pup off. It’s like having a dog park all to yourself!Cathy & Bonzai D.

55My pups love love loved this spot and so did my son and I. My mama dog has an autoimmune disease and sadly won’t be with us for long so seeing her run free and splash in the pond made my heart so happy. This spot is peaceful and my dogs never noticed the gap in fencing mentioned in the site info. Plus the hosts had toys, doggie treats and treats for us humans too ! Oh and a hose ready to use to rinse them off after the pond. My dogs were in paradise ♥️ We are definitely coming back!Rachel G.

55We are so happy this spot reopened! Wonder and I love the land and the water. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us. Same great place with amazing updates. New gate into the spot - easy to use and looks good. New memorial park area honoring the dogs that have lived there, touching.
We were welcomed by two chairs in the shade, very welcoming. And lovely to sit by the pond.
Looking forward to our next visit.

55Very well kept yard with a lot of space to throw a ball and run around! Easy to find the location. We loved the box of toys/necessities, as we discovered that our poop bag holder had dropped somewhere on our way over and we were grateful to find some on site. We could see cars drive pass the property and some neighbors with a dog, but they were easy to avoid and keep at a distance. Would definitely visit this spot again.Siobhan M.

FAQ about our Ferndale dog fields
Are dog fields safe?
If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.
How can I find dog fields in Ferndale?
There are 39 dog fields in the Ferndale area. The most popular dog field is King's Dog Park. You can browse all of our dog fields here.
How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?
All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?
We require that all four-legged friends have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot field at the same time as me?
No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.
How much do Sniffspot fields cost?
Dog fields in the Ferndale area range from $8.0 and $8.0. The least expensive dog field is Ballard Puptopia. The most expensive dog field is Ballard Puptopia. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
