55Lots of space to play and run! We didn’t find the water feature in the spot but my pup had fun exploring, sniffing and barking.
The host had put out a few water bowls, so appreciated that on a hot day. Although I would still recommend carrying water for your pup! Shilpa S.

55Wonderful spot! Parking area, spot entrance, etc all clearly labeled. The spot itself was huge, with trails through forested areas and also a big open grassy area. Water stations and trash cans by the parking area and in the middle of the spot.
Our dog loves to wander and sniff more than run and chase balls etc. In some other spots he has gotten bored partway through the hour. Here there was so much to sniff, he was having a wonderful time the entire visit and was not ready to leave! Marie K.

55It is a steep walk up the hill, but once we got up there, it was a beautiful meadow. We also had a nice time in the woods. My dog enjoyed the creek.Rebecca H.

55Helpful instructions made it easy to find. Great big space.
My small dog had lots of fun playing fetch. I recommend a rubber ball because a tennis ball gets covered in dry grass.
We are training my big dog to ‘come’. It’s a great place if there’s at least some skill. Mine kept going off into the tall grass with pokey plants so I had to get her. Kelsea B.

55Such a wonderful place! Lots of place to run around and get all the zoomies out. We did not expected to run into two wild deers that were hopping through the territory of a Sniffspot, but I got my puppy secured and deers took their time passing by. If you have a dog that will chase wild animals be careful. It was awesome that camping chairs were provided and water for dogs as well. Timmy Z.

55This spot is a large forested area with plenty to explore and a flat open space at the top of the hill. The area was quiet and peaceful when we visited. It was fun for humans and dogs to walk around! Bonus for offering eggs!Karen D.

55This spot was wonderful! The dogs loved the mix of open field to run through and wooded areas to sniff around in. This was my dog’s first time encountering a barbed wire fence and she was able to get through to the other side (she’s smaller and quite fearless when it comes to exploring so just mentioning in case your dog is similar). I appreciated that the host mentioned this fencing in the listing. However, I didn’t see the signs to keep out of this area. Although that may have been because I was too focused on watching my dog have the time of her life! The water, poop bags, and trash can were also much appreciated. Would definitely come back! :)Nancy T.

55Info on directions, parking, and signage is great! Dogs really enjoyed their time today. Water dogs WILL get wet! 😃
Unfortunately, we have a husky pup who is under a year old who’s recall is not 100%. On our way out, she darted to the right (after a duck we think), ran past the “no trespassing” signs and got herself tangled in the barb wire. She’s now lost her privileges at this great SniffSpot. KRYSTAN S.

55My dog had so much fun here. There’s varied terrain - a short hike in with a little mud on the path and a wide open space at the top. Plenty of room to run and interesting smells to check out. We didn’t have any issues with the fencing.Holly R.

55Nice, big sloping hill for the doggies to run up & down getting them good & tuckered out. They loved it & we would love to come back. Our girl especially liked to play with the hanging rope. Phil G.

55This is a lovely and serene spot to play with your pup. The host provided clean water, waste bags, and trash can. The main area up on the hill is dry and covered in soft lush grass - perfect footing for fast dogs. The area is drained very well even in the wettest time of winter. We'll certainly be back!Olga A.

55This is a fantastic spot. The parking and entrance instructions were very clear, we found it easily. The (very cute) farm animals are right near the entrance, you can’t avoid walking past them. Luckily my dogs were unfazed, and the mini cows are adorable. All 5 acres are accessible, the wooded parts are easy to wander through. The clearing at the top of the hill was a lovely open space to romp in. From what I saw, all fencing was secure. I’ll definitely go back. I’m so grateful to people who share their land like this.

FAQ about our Vashon dog water parks
Are dog water 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Vashon?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water 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 dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training 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.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
