55This spot is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the city! My pups loved it! They loved all the smell of the assortment of plants. The only draw back were the gaps fencing (fully disclosed by the owner). My pups are medium size and one likes to make a run for it. If this is not an issue for your dog, then this is the best spot and very convenient if you live in the city. RM A.

55We had a short visit on a super hot sunny day. The host was so accommodating and responsive. Mosquito repellent (much needed) and water was provided. If your pup is particular with water, bring your own if easier! There were sediments in the water from the hose (and I couldn't get the nozzle to work in a way I could hose her down from the heat, but likely a user error on my part). Gaps in fencing (as disclosed by host) may be a challenge for smaller doggos especially with the property a corner lot by the sidewalk (depends on your doggo!). We did inform the host of the side gate which doesn't close/latch and it was unfortunately left open (I should've checked before letting her off leash once we were inside the front gate). We had a minor hiccup running into the adjacent neighbor's dog. Julie is aware and noted it for future. Definitely check the entire space before letting your pup off leash. A wonderful location for locals and visitors alike! Amy K.

55Gorgeous space! We need a safe space for our two dogs to run around and this is perfect. On the hill— so for Capitol Hill people that need a private park this meets the mark. Thanks for sharing, Julie!Sharon B.

55Nice backyard in quiet neighborhood with a good amount of shade, a bird house, and garden plants for pups to investigate. House was easy to find, and backyard door was easy to open. Very straightforward!Sarah R.

55We adore this sniffspot! Roxann’s yard is fully enclosed and parking was easy. Plenty of tennis balls, a pile of sticks and two bowls of fresh, cold water ready for my dog. Plus a table and chairs for the humans! This time it seems the hose wasn’t yet on for the season but we will come back when it’s warmer as my dog loves the hose! Thanks again for a great space, Roxann! Rachel P.

55Very nice place and one pup loved the container of balls there taking each out. If your pup is sound sensitive, you do hear some street noise and hear a barking dog, but didn't see any!Julianne J.

FAQ about our Hillcrest Heights 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.
