55This was our first time at a Sniff Spot and we loved it! Our dogs had a great time exploring the different areas — wooded, trails, open spaces, creek crossings. Resting in the chairs and taking in the view after was also nice. Clean, safe and inviting. We’ll be back!Karen J.

55Beautiful property, secure fence, and a lot of toys for pups to play with. We didn’t let our little Jack Russell of the leash because there are a lot of berry bushes on the property and he has bad ears when his prey drive has been activated. However, I would visit this property again! Ashley B.

55This was our first time and we loved it. I would recommend giving yourself some extra minutes when going there your first time as the entrance is on a sort of busy road. It is well labeled and definitely worth it! The area is well sealed off with fencing so no worries about dogs getting out if they’re on the other side of the land. It’s fully blackberry bushes and well maintained. The creek runs through the middle and you’ll need to be able to do a little leap across or stretch your legs to cross. The dogs loved it! They could cool off in the water then continue running through the paths. Smaller dogs may need more supervision for creek depth and maybe getting lost in the bushes. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this spot to my friends and family! Cassie K.

55Nice spot for some sniffing! Our Dusty loved it and was exhausted afterwards. Though we didn’t explore the whole area due to snakes. It was pleasant and Dusty had a good time. Roree O.

55What an amazing and fun space! It is dog heaven! The boys loved romping through the creek and running up and down the many trails. Everything you could need was thoughtfully provided. Even a bandaid when the toddler got in a battle over whose stick that was. 😝 we will definitely be making this a regular visit. Thanks! Kimberly D.

55Such an awesome spot. Was our dogs’ clear favorite the second we opened the gate. Such an enjoyable place for so many reasons. It’s like being able to hike through trails in your own private fenced in controlled environment. Lots of great features and certainly very well thought out with lots of supplies and everything you’d need from the host. The host pays great attention to detail. The fencing was very well maintained and you can tell they routinely check and make sure that everything remains fully enclosed. They’ve been very thorough and done a great job to share such a nice piece of nature inside city limits with the rest of us. Thank you again and we’ll be back very soon!!!!Mike C.

55Versatile space for mini hikes around the property and space to throw a stick or ball around. My 2 goofballs thoroughly enjoyed it considering the long nap they had when we got home :) Jen T.

55A very safe and secure place to let dogs be dogs! This was our first off leash experience since adopting Reno. It was what we need. The creek, trails and brushy areas are great. Did I mention it’s very clean too.Chris S.

55Area was bigger than expected! Loved the creek and the hills. Could use a little bridge somewhere to go over the creek for those with mobility issues, but a minor issue for an otherwise great place. Justin A.

55Great spot for our pup to run around! She loved the creek. Fencing was good and there's several little trails weaving throughout and a good mix of sun and shade.Jarred B.

55My dogs had so much fun! Lots of room to explore and things to sniff. My bigger girl had fun in the creek, my 15lb short legged jack russell isn't a fan of getting wet but she was able to comfortably jump over the creek at the most shallow point so this is definitely small dog friendly.
Lots of blackberry bushes, my dogs had fun in them but be prepared for the thorns. Mine have short coats so we didn't have trouble, but I can imagine longer fur needing to be brushed out from thorns afterward if your dogs like to crawl in the bushes.
Plenty of open space to play, mine personally just preferred getting into the tall grass and bushes. If your dog prefers to play with toys there's good space here to do that too. If your dog likes to just explore, this is perfect for exploring.
Be ready for bath time afterwards though! We came home muddy and tired after having a great time. I can't wait to come back! Zoe H.

55Beautiful and amazing place to bring your pup(s). Very secure and you also feel a little bit like you’re in a secret garden. My dog enjoys walking the little trail they have, he thinks he’s hiking off leash! Love this spot! Moorea M.

FAQ about our Vancouver 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.
