55This review is from our visit two days ago, the grass is a bit long but still doable for my tall dogs and still lots of paths to manuever through. Emily J.

55Nice property with so many fun places for dogs to search and smell! My dog has semi good recall and did well off leash. The neighbors animals (goats?sheep?, I have bad eyesight) were far enough away that my dog saw them but didn't feel the need to bark at them, thank goodness ! Crystal T.

55We really appreciated the mowed trails, very private and felt secure about dogs not running off.
Bank to river is very steep and very slippery. Our 15 month old and 9 year old dogs are not the best ball retrievers so we needed to be close to water’s edge which was a bit of a challenge. Corey R.

55Lovely space! The path was nicely mowed and perfect for small dogs. Host provides a nice shade spot for sunny days.
Had one scary moment, however (not anyone’s fault but mine, but thought I would share in case it helps someone prevent it from happening to them). When leaving and going to the parking spot, please make sure to leash your dog. I didn’t because I thought it was a quiet road, but a car came at a high speed and my dog was right by the road, so it could’ve easily turned into a tragedy. Maria L.

55Loved the space ! Our dog enjoyed the river and we enjoyed the shaded area lounging in the chairs. We brought a picnic and stayed for a few hours. The mowed grass left great routes for us to walk along. We will be back. Kat B.

55Always a great spot for our German Shepherd. Grass is long outside of the mowed paths at the moment. Bring extra balls if you use them, as the dogs may not find them right now. Nikki B.

55Our dog had a great time running through the tall grass and loved the river! There was no one (or animals) in sight in the pastures bordering this sniff spot, and the one somewhat busy road was up a bit of a hill and very tall grass (so not a worry for our dog).Ellen P.

55My foster dog gives this Sniffspot 5 stars. She loves to run and this huge Sniffspot allows her to release all that crazy running energy.
As this Sniffspot was a cow pasture at one time, the paths are deeply rutted in places and can be a tripping hazard for us bipeds.
On the day we visited it was sunny and dry. Access to the river is somewhat steep, but this old lady was able to get to the water and back without issue. Martha k.

55Our pups had a blast! If your dog isn’t a strong swimmer, be aware that the drop off into the water is pretty steep (about 18” of ankle deep water then about two steps until you’re nearly at waist depth). Loved that they could all run through the grass on the way back to the car and get all that sand off!Rachel P.

55Super fun spot! Very open, and we appreciated the mowed grassy paths around the field and to the water. It was raining, so the little tent with chairs was a nice touch to get out of the rain for a few minutes. The water spot is steep, so it's not the best spot for dogs with mobility issues or seniors, but for my younger athletic dogs, it was perfectly fine. There are cows at the far end of the field separated by a fence, but there was a lot of overgrowth, so my dogs couldn't see them, which was perfect. If your dog does not have perfect recall, I highly recommend a long drag leash because it is next to a busier road (although far enough away I wasn't super worried) but if you have a dog that has a tendency to bolt definitely a concern. Overall, a total gem, and we will be back! Emily T.

55Overall, a beautiful property!! Loving the improvements they’ve made by mowing trails, the pop up tent and chairs, and providing a parking spot at the spot entry. Posting a pic of the parking spot and the steep incline by the river for folks to see! We did experience a dog barking at a nearby property that may influence dog reactive dogs. Also witnessed a young deer in the field as we were leaving. Deb O.

55This spot was great for our Australian Shepherd! I don't think she stopped sprinting for a moment, and she loved splashing around in the water. It was easy to find and there was a trail that was mowed down so you could walk to the water and there were chairs and a canopy setup.Barrie J.

55Great spot!! Lots of room and tall grass for my pup to run in. The river was a bit too swift for her so we stayed mostly up in the field; grass was tall enough she couldn't spot the cows either! Emily B.

55We had a great time. I read all the reviews before hand though. I knew to walk my dog on leash all the way in. And to look out for a deer or anything. We had a wonderful time. Didn’t go in the water because I don’t trust my dog enough but the field and grass was great for them. Would love to come back! Thanks 😊 D R.

FAQ about our Kirkland dog water parks
Are dog water 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Kirkland?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs 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. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water 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 dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training 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.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
