55This spot was really cool! I was driving around from Bremerton to Tacoma and decided to stop by. The spot has multiple pasture style enclosures and a forested area. Soba couldn’t get enough of sniffing around and was incredibly entertained just by the smells. The pastures are great for a game of fetch and the forest is great for exploring. I met the host and she is planning on building a trail back into the forest that will make it even easier to access. There are horses and goats in separate enclosures but visible. I did not see or hear any dogs, except one or two barks when I was close to the house.David A.

55Sarah’s property was lovely! The dogs had a great time exploring and chasing balls, and the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit made for a comfy place to relax after a busy day at work. Heidi S.

55Great location! Very large, quiet and secure area for my two dogs to sniff and play. Easy-peasy parking and fully fenced so I never had to worry about my dogs escaping. Lots of places for the humans to perch and relax. Large fir trees create nice shady spots which is good if you have a dog who gets over-heated. Not far from Gig Harbor but feels like a peaceful forest retreat. Well, maybe not so peaceful when my dogs are there barking ;) Jayne O.

55Wonderful spot for pups to sniff and explore with plenty of room to run. Sarah made sure we had all the info we needed and was very easy to communicate with. We will definitely come back.
There's both a front yard and a back yard available. The front gate has a small gap on one end that my dog would be able to fit under (he's only 20 lbs). But we used the huge back yard which has no gaps at all and the dogs had a great time. SandS J.

55Lovely property, sunny & shady areas, very private, great place to sit in the chairs provided and watch the dogs play. We had to call the dogs away from the very tempting off limits grass and the easy to sneak thu under the stairs into the private area, sorry! They will know the boundaries for next time. Host was friendly and communicative. Will come again. Thanks so much! Lisa W.

55A great experience all around. Sarah was very friendly and answered all of my pre-visit questions. The property is amazing and very secure; I was not at all worried that my dog would somehow get through the fence. The spot is large and interesting for dogs to run, sniff, whatever. It's also very comfortable for humans and dogs to lounge around in between romps. Wish there were more places like this on "our side" of the bridge. We'll definitely be back! Alexa T.

55Such a fun spot!! Very securely fenced, a bunch of shade to cool off, more than enough room to run and plenty of things to sniff. Could occasionally hear dogs barking way off in the distance, but even our very dog-reactive pup was not bothered. We'll be back!! Elisabeth W.

FAQ about our Olalla 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Olalla 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 295 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 53 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.
