55Grace was very friendly and met us outside to show us where to go. The property was great - rustic, lots of places for my 2 beagles (and dachshund mix) to sniff to their hearts content. They have never had freedom to safely explore and follow their nose for their natural instinct, so having somewhere big and open with tons of places to explore while being safely in a fence was so nice. Its just the stimulation their brains needed and we will definitely be back! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful land!Marissa C.

55This Spot has become our favorite. The yard is peaceful and clean. My pup loves it. It's more expensive than other spots in the area, or we would be able to visit it more often.
But we will still visit as much as we can.Beth S.

55It's truly a delightful place to spend an hour. The natural trails are perfect for a leisurely stroll, and it's a beautiful spot to unwind and spend time in the hammocks. It's a great place to let your dogs roam and explore. This is one of those places you can visit when you need a quick hour of exercise and relaxation. It's just the perfect spot.Tye F.

55This was a nice spot for a play date with dog friends. The yard is large and beautiful. We were slightly concerned about fencing being t-post along the road which could not be strong enough for our reactive dog, if a dog were to walk by. But other than that would highly recommend! Liz Z.

55Directions for parking and entering were clear and easy to follow. Spot was securely fenced and held all three dogs safely. Lots of things to sniff and explore, best for dogs who like to do that and not just chase a ball. Will visit again with the right dogs! :)Joy A.

55This is a great little spot! Love having the grassy area up top plus the wooded trails at the bottom of the yard. Pup had a wonderful time squeaking his toys in the grass on a beautiful warm evening.Ashley V.

55Beautiful - an open grass lawn to get their zoomies out, and a wooded area with paths. Sun and shade. This SniffSpot didn’t lack for anything! The host’s cat and my doggo stared at each other thru a sliding glass door. My dog was raised on a farm with feral barn cats, so I think she was stupefied that a cat could be inside a house. For sure we’ll be repeat visitors. Leann N.

55As one of SniffSpots' top 10 dog trainers in Washington state I appreciated this spot for it's ability to entice my dogs to use their brains when sniffing in the forested areas. We worked on eye contact, boop (touch my hand), and recall all while playing with friends in a safe & clean space. Nikki J.

55Our favorite sniffspot yet! Theres flat yard space to throw a ball, and also woodsy walkways that make you feel like you’re in the middle of the forest. It’s next to a main road, however the rockwall/fence next to it is huge and reassuring that my dog wasn’t going anywhere! The signs for parking and entrance were clearly marked.Tara & James K.

FAQ about our North Saanich small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.

How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.

Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types.
