55Such an incredible property to explore!
Beautiful scenery, and a great way to tire out the doggies.
Be mindful of ticks and do a check after the visit.
My favorite thing is getting to see my dogs have off leash freedom in a safe and secure environment. This was such a wonderful experience for them. Jenna M.

55Tony was so nice and wonderful! He showed me around the property. We had discussed before hand that my dogs were people friendly. :) The fence is solid, and the space is massive. Such a fun way to get my city dogs out in the country. Taylor S.

55Karen’s spot was perfect. Our dogs had the best hour of their life running and playing with new toys! The little bag of treats and welcome sign we’re just the cherry on top. The spot was super easy to find, too. We will definitely be back!Annie H.

55This space was worth the drive! Everything we could have needed was there and the host even provided towels (given the wet weather we’ve had). My boys loved it and were definitely worn out after our time there!Leila S.

55We had a great time! I can’t recommend Karen’s enough! I have one dog that routinely jumps my 4 foot fences and Houdini’s out of anything, but the fence was well-maintained and plenty high to keep her in! I will definitely be back! Grace J.

55We *LOVE* it here, we drive 45 minutes to visit this specific SniffSpot because of how beautiful, fun and nice it is. The hosts even made a kiddie pool available for our water obsessed goldens! Thank you so much! Brandylyn C.

55This was a great spot for my dog to run around! Host provided plenty of water, toys, bags, and first aid kit (which was super helpful when I grabbed a toy from his mouth and cut myself on his tooth). He can be rough on toys so it was nice to have a bin to keep the delicate ones in that would otherwise be destroyed. I also loved the little sign with our names on it and included treats! Private and beautiful property, Meelo had a blast!Carolyn C.

55Had a lovely experience at this location again! Brought three kooky small dogs that needed to be tired out, and they left exhausted!
There was a lot of great shade from the big trees, and also plenty of water provided which was really helpful in this summer heat.
Thanks again! Jenna M.

FAQ about our Hillsboro 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.
