55Amazing spot. We are in for a National dog show and our kids really neeeded a safe place to run. The hosts were so gracious and allowed us to bring more than the allotted dogs.
They all had sooooo much fun running through the field and the trail in the woods. It’s just what they needed after a long morning of showing. Coast R.

55A wonderful space! Open space to run, lots to sniff, and lots of shade for breaks from the sun. I appreciated the detailed msg re: where to park, bathroom, potential sounds/triggers. My boy is dog-reactive but was too excited to run and play to be much bothered by the sounds of neighbouring dogs. Thanks for providing this space. We will be back!Laura E.

55Great size field for my boys, beautiful setting and Megan is lovely. The fact that it’s a fully fenced field helps ease my mind for my young one who looses his mind when he can run free.Tish P.

55A huge fenced in field for our dog who can’t be off leash, but want to chase a ball and sniff all the great smells? This is a terrific spot. There are 2 chairs, a small table and an umbrella for the humans. There is a bowl for water and some poop bags and even a few balls and a frisbee. We will be back!Martha E.

55Great spot. My 3 large dogs had room to run. It was very dry and hot that day, so it made it hard to really get the full enjoyment out of the space. We will definitely be back when the weather cools off in the fall. Great host and helpful family members on site. Large space for the dogs to run and play. The kennel next door to the property with all the barking dogs was distracting and I had to do a lot of redirecting with my dogs to stay away from fencing. Other than that, it was a great experience for our first time.Olisha M.

55Just when I thought this place couldn’t get any better, now there’s agility equipment there too. My Aussie was thrilled to go over the a-frame today and jump through the tires. So much fun! So grateful for this wonderful spot. Lianne P.

55Our dog reactive pup had a great time! I understand the comments now about the kennel next door. But our dog did great and it was great exposure / training. While there are 2 fences, you can physically see the dogs. Not an issue for us, and like I said, a great opportunity for him to see & hear other dogs and practice not engaging, all while in a safe spot and off leash.
The field has a few agility obstacles, so that was fun to play on with the pup. We all had a great time and will be back. Thank you for sharing your property!Raphaelle M.

55This location was perfect for our pup. Exactly as advertised. A large fenced in field with some areas for the dogs to climb around and a nice little path through some trees at the back. We are glad we tried this spot and will definitely be returning.Dave S.

55Love the new agility equipment we had fun using it … even did some sniff work around it. The dogs next door were pretty active but our girl did some great recalls so also got some training in! The field is big enough that we can all get some much needed exercise!Sally S.

55Great field! I was able to train my dogs with the distraction of dogs barking in the surrounding area along with agility. Megan was quick to answer & lovely to speak with! Natalie C.

55My dog had a wonderful visit today at the off leash park. It was so nice to see her be able to run wild and free, while in a safe and controlled environment. The agility equipment was a nice touch and she had fun with it. Amber J.

55Field was a fantastic spot. Clarence will definitely be returning. There are some fun agility structures and a small wooded area that he enjoyed exploring. Only one negative is barbed wire fencing that poses a little risk if doggies are exploring the wooded spot and don’t notice it. Natasha S.

55Great spot for training and a good romp before catching the ferry home. The fence is secure and lots of distractions. We had to cut it short today but we’ll be back. Kathy M.

55It was our first visit to this lovely property out in the countryside, soaking up all the different sounds.  My dogs had a blast even in 30 minutes. They were exhausted having this whole field to themselves not being bothered by other dogs.  we will be back. lisa B.

55This is such a beautiful spot. Please, everyone, pick up after your dog! Megan has a garbage can for poop bags near the entrance. Please use it. I stepped in 3 different piles of dog poop today and saw/picked up several more. Have some respect for Megan and other visitors. Just because it’s a field doesn’t mean you aren’t expected to clean up after your dog. Lianne P.

55What a fantastic spot! We had a great time here. The space was totally secure for our medium-sized dog (45lbs.) The kennel on the next property wasn't a problem at all for us - we didn't see any dogs and only heard some barking occasionally. The field is clean and well-maintained. We especially appreciated the chairs (for us) and the agility equipment (for our dog.) Thanks so much to everyone at Wind Ridge Farm for sharing this wonderful place with the community.Caitlin H.

FAQ about our Saanichton 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.
