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.

55Hi Harlen! We love your spot - it’s so beautiful with nice shade in the afternoon. Geordi liked sticking his nose in the mole holes and Sherman enjoyed the grass snacks around the very secure fence! We also ran until our tongues hung out and practiced our long recalls. We appreciate the paw wash and fresh filtered water. See you next time!Ellie A.

55My dogs loved this spot so much! Came here during sunset and it is so beautiful. We also got here 10 min late due to traffic and they were able to let us stay 10 min longer! On top of that, they welcomed us with beautiful flowers and a note placed on top of the gate. We will definitely be back! Rummela G.

55Harlen’s dog park is a beautiful, big open space for your pups to run around. I love that there is a bench in the shade for me to sit while my dogs run around! While the street does get some traffic, it’s still a very quiet, scenic park. It’s very clean too! I was very impressed and will definitely be making this a usual spot this summer!Katri H.

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 140 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 33 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.
