55A great spot for exercising dog legs and dog noses! My pups enjoyed the variety of areas to explore. We skipped the very high creek today, but will come back another day to check it out. Not too muddy even with all the recent rain. Andrea was a great host and the amenities listed were accurate. Ellie A.

55Great host. And beautiful quiet area. Snacks towels fresh water and toys for the dog provided . Jessie had a blast and was able to run a lot. There are 2 areas that you can use. The front area nice and clean. The back area is very large and there is a small trail down to the creek. Only thing when you have a small dog,there are areas in the back where he could sneak through. But Andrea let us know beforehand. Definitely will be back. Michaela S.

55What an amazing place!!! Just got back with my tired dog which is always nice. The host, Andrea, met us when we arrived and gave a great tour of the property. Very kind and accommodating host. You can hear dogs in the house when you first enter the backyard but you cannot see them. The creek was really moving today so I am glad I had my dog on leash in that area. Highly recommend this spot and I certainly plan on coming back. Thank you for hosting us. Matt M.

55Perfect for our 2 dogs! Host was super nice and warned us about any weak fencing areas and showed us around. Our dogs loved the creek (will love it more when it’s calm!!) and running and playing. Andrea provided treats and toys for us to use during our time. Will be back!!kyrah s.

55Traveling with 7 dogs and having to get them unloaded and on lead is a challenge, being able to drive in and close the gate behind you is amazing! Excellent location right off 26 so if you’re traveling to the coast or back this spot is the perfect place for you. Bev H.

55Great spot for inquisitive dogs who like to explore - the yard has so many little spots and nooks and crannies... Our dogs sniffed and wandered around the entire time! There were apple trees with a fair number of apples on the ground, and blackberry bushes with thorns on one side of the yard, several vehicles which our dogs were VERY interested in, and a pool with a hose for filling it. The owner also provided poop bags and a waste container, and a nice selection of toys. Overall, a great spot in the heart of Hillsboro. Melissa D.

55This sniffspot great! It was very quiet and so much to sniff. Unfortunately our old rescues paw started to hurt 30 minutes into our visit so we had to go home early, but we will definitely be back! Frances D.

55This is a fantastic place to do some nice off-leash and recall training. Nice open grounds with not too many distractions around, but well fenced. Keeps my Mal-Corso mix contained and content. Thanks Melissa!Aishwaryadev B.

FAQ about our Gales Creek 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 Gales Creek 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 219 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.
