55This is our third time to this spot in a week. Our dogs love this spot. The host is great, the horse is super chill and in its own space. Our basset turned 3 and our lab 16 so we took them today before we have cake for them. Jason I.

55My girls had so much fun! They met a horse and were safe from anything that might hurt them. I love this!! The yard is big and the ball goes a long way. Goldens and a pit got really worn out. A tired dog is a happy dog!! Thank you for making your spot available 😊😊😊😊Sharon T.

55The fact that this home is on a steep grade may make it hard for some to get up the hill to the backyard but for those without restrictions this was a great spot for our rescue to hold a meet & greet with 3 dogs! Donna C.

55Although it is a relatively small Spot for a large athletic dog, the various elevations allowed for lots of jumping and exploring. This was great for a quick local energy burn. Plenty of toys to choose from, too.Craig O.

55This spot was wonderful! Two enclosed areas that you can move between with ease through a gated area. The host also left a handwritten note, dog treats, and towels in the covered area. It didn’t rain during our visit but this enclosed area with chairs would be awesome for rainy days. Everything was closed off and perfect for my Aussie and Rottweiler to run around.Kylie W.

55This spot is a good one for our reactive dog. No other animals are visible or audible. The large space is big enough for large dogs to run at full speed. Fences are secure. We'll be back.Karl O.

55Area A was perfect for my Doberman and Pitty. My dobe loves chasing a ball and having a yard large enough to throw the ball without worrying about it going over a fence was wonderful. Dogs had a blast and will certainly be back! The only thing I would suggest is a trash can for poop disposal but everything else was great! Signage was also very clear and helpful! Megan E.

55Great open space! And perfect for my aggressive/reactive pup. She had a blast! The fencing was in excellent condition, and the yards were well maintained.
Only downside was the property is on a busy road so Frankie went a little crazy for the cars instead of running around playing with Valoo.
Will for sure be booking this play spot again. Rachel G.

55A great safe space for my pupper. My dog, Amber, is a small dog and we don't get many opportunities to go to the park. I get nervous around other peoples' dogs so it felt great to have the whole place to ourselves. It was fun playing ball on their court and she loved sniffing around the fence. She's still a young puppy and we are still working on her obedience and recall, so knowing that they had a fully fenced yard made me comfortable letting her off leash. They also provide a bunch of amenities like toys, sticks, water bowls, and even had a Porta Potty. I am so happy with my visit and I will definitely be going back in the future. Roxanne S.

FAQ about our Salem 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 Salem?
There are 95 small dog parks in the Salem 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.
