55This spot was set up very thoughtfully, from the signage on the main road directing me to the driveway, to the designated parking area near the entrance to the play area; the shelter with dog toys, cleaning supplies and a comfy and clean chair; the water bowl and hose off area; and additional chairs and table under the trees. The field was in good shape and without dog waste. Plus great views looking east to Mt. Hood on a sunny fall day. Definitely coming again to this spot. Julie K.

55We had so much fun at this spot, fence was perfect and there was so much room for my pup to run around. The location was pretty easy to find and easy to access. It wasn’t muddy at all considering all the rain we’ve been getting. Will definitely visit again! Esme G.

55This is a nice spot! Secure fencing with lots of space to run. One long fence line runs along the backyards of neighboring homes (some are visible), and my dogs were happily distracted by the sounds of some chickens. No other animals heard or seen. The pasture wasn’t muddy despite all the rain recently. Pam D.

55Always love this spot. Perfect space for pup to run. Views of Mt Hood and lots of thoughtful amenities. We come here almost once a week and are grateful for this space to run!Valerie P.

55This was the first Sniff Spot I’ve tried and I could not have been happier! James’s place has so many great things to offer. The little shelter is a nice touch to have a place to put my coffee down or sit down out of the cold. Murphy had a BLAST running, sniffing and destroying his ball. We’ll definitely be back. Wendy S.

55Such a great place! They provide lots of toys for dogs to play with, and a drinking station and hose. The field is level and perfect for dogs that love to run! Considering the Oregon weather, it’s not muddy and has a lot of grass that kept my dogs cleaner than my own backyard! Very happy with our visit, and my first experience using Sniffspot!Miranda C.

55This was my first experience with Sniffspot in general, and James at Thayer Ridge Acres made it a great one! All the information I needed to know to find the place and get in and out was either in the listing or provided. Great communication from the host. Fencing was secure enough for my 2x 25-30lb dogs. It was a fantastic experience and we'll be back again! Joy H.

55Absolutely perfect! This spot is not only beautiful, but the hosts have generously included every amenity that I could want! Covered shelter, water for the pups, waste disposal, toys, comfy chairs - it’s wonderful! The fence is secure - there is one portion that borders another dog, but it’s been shaded out, which quelled most - but not all - of my reactive dogs’ curiosity. It’s secure though - and open, clean, meticulously maintained. I love our usual spot - but this is definitely worth the extra drive! Jaimee K.

55This is a really well maintained wide open Sniffspot! We didn’t notice any holes in the ground or the fence. My dog and I had a great time we will be back!Amber Y.

55We had an absolute blast here!
This was the perfect area for our recall training and we loved that there were a few places to sit down and relax also. Super easy to find, all the signs were extremely helpful. They have everything you could need here! Toys, water, hand sanitizer, paper towels, it was a great set up.
We will most definitely be returning.

55Parking is minimal. We had a doggy play date here and so had more than one car. It wasn't too muddy considering the recent rain. The hose was handy for water for the dogs, but not much came out at once. It made it harder to use to rinse off the dogs. There were toys provided if needed. It was a good size for using Chuck-Its and letting the dogs run. The host did complain about the dogs barking, so be aware if you have dogs that bark. Erica F.

55Third time visiting. There were 3 of us with our dogs. Luckily they all got along and had a great time. Plenty of room to run. Love the fully fenced space. The trees along the edge of the property came in handy when it started to rain. All of the dogs loved sniffing under the trees. Even with all the rain we've had lately, it wasn't as muddy as I thought it could be.Linda L.

FAQ about our Oregon City 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. 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Oregon City?
There are 118 small dog parks in the Oregon City area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
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 doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. 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.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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 small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
