55This spot was heaven-sent! The perfect spot for my babies to run and play without wandering off alone or without me! There’s plentiful trails, the creek was a hit for my girls, fencing was secure and safe! The host was amazing, clear instructions, awesome set up and space! She provided snacks for pups and pup-parents as well as water, toys, towels, poop bags, and so much more! Will definitely be back! My dogs are usually pretty reactive to their animals/sounds but there was so much for them to explored they were totally unbothered by the sounds surrounding them! Totally worth the 30 minute drive for me and my babies! Eva T.

55Great spot for active pups! Our 3 left exhausted after going around and about all the trails and swimming in the small 10 inch high creek. We chose a later in the evening time because of the heat, but even mid day would be just fine because of all the shade from trees. Awesome sniff spot! Thanks and see you again! Heather M.

55My 3 dogs LOVED playing in the little creek that runs through the property. It was a hot day and so the creek plus the wooded trails were just what we needed. The amenities at the entrance were a great touch.Shari P.

55This was a great place for my dog to enjoy sniffing and exploring the trails on a very warm afternoon. I appreciated the amount of shade on the property. All the amenities made it very welcoming and comfortable. We will be back!Sandy M.

55What an awesome spot! Our dogs absolutely loved it and are asleep within two minutes of getting into the car after. The trails really make you feel like you’re on a hike with the security of not losing your dog to the wilderness. Our dogs LOVED the creek running through. Can’t wait to come back 🤗Breanna B.

55Our dogs and us humans absolutely loved this wildery spot. They loved frolking through the tall grass, blueberry bushes, and little creek. The fence was tall and secure enough that we didn't feel worried about them exploring on their own. Our one reactive dog could hear a dog barking in the distance, but we easily redirected her, so it wasn't a concern for us. There is an average busy street near one of the chain link fences. If your dog likes to go after cars, just keep this in mind. However, the fence is fairly tall and safe, in my opinion. Overall, we would love to visit this spot again. Our dogs really enjoyed it. Thanks for the human snacks and fresh water for the dogs! 🥰Natalie M.

55Super fun spot!! The accommodations for humans were a super nice touch and we look forward to coming back. I’ll be wearing pants and long sleeves when we visit again though. The vines crossing into the paths were spiked and I was not prepared! Easily avoided if you were keeping an eye out though.
Plenty of water, toys, treats, and poop bags for the pup and even some ice cold caprisuns and water in the cooler! Taylor N.

55Brought my rescue dog here today for our first Sniffspot experience, and it was a huge success for him. Perfect setup for a very scared dog to explore, sniff, and play in a safe and secure environment. He had a blast in the water, playing hide-and-go-seek, and running on the trails. We will definitely be back!R S.

FAQ About Vancouver 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.
