55This was our first sniffspot and we had a wonderful visit. The dogs loved the toys that were provided and plenty of room to run and sniff. There was also a lot of shade which was nice. We could barely hear another dog but it didn't bother my reactive dog at all. Thank you for a great visit 😊 Madeeha C.

55This is a really nice place. Lots of places for my dog to sniff and explore. And plenty of room to use the provided chuck-it and tennis balls to play fetch and my dog got plenty of exercise. The large stainless steel water bowl was full of fresh water and there were plenty of places to sit and relax under the deck.Kerry R.

55Excellent spot for my two large, active dogs. Super clean and completely secured. The yard’s shape is asymmetrical, so there are lots of corners and fun areas for exploring. Apple trees provide shade and there is plenty of sun and grass, too. Biggest water bowl in town and a big bin of great toys and balls! Ruthanne R.

55Fencing was secure, yard was well maintained, plenty of toys and balls, fresh water in a giant bowl. This spot is oddly shaped, but my dogs had so much fun running in circles chasing each other through the various corners, it was like a race track for them 😂 We went on a hot day but there was plenty of shade from trees. Next door neighboor on the left has a shih-tzu that was very yippy about our arrival, but their owner took them inside so we didn't see/hear that dog after we initially arrived.Jenny P.

55Came here on a very hot day since it has a lot of shade because I needed to get out of my house with workers around. Even though it was 85 outside, the shade gave us good respite. There was water available (though I wish the hose was too so we could refill with cold water) and plenty of toys. My dogs had fun and every corner was properly fenced in. Will be back!Youngji H.

55This was my first time using SniffSpot and it was great. My dog had space to get to top speed chasing his ball, and he also enjoyed sniffing around the little orchard area and along the fences. I would advise everyone to be aware of the mole holes since they could cause injury if a dog steps in one while running, but my dog also really liked sticking his nose in them. As you can see in the picture, he was totally worn out before the end of our visit. Caitlin S.

55Haven't visited for a while 'cause we live far away. My dog Teddy was very happy to be back to one of his favorite Spots! The new hose next to the big stainless steel water bowl is a great addition! Makes it so easy to add fresh water for thirsty pups. Thank you! We had a great visit and will always come by when we are in the area. Jacki D.

55We love it here - it was our first visit. The fencing is very secure (low to ground for the little guy, at least 6' high for the retriever). There is solid grass, which is tough to find in our wet PNW weather. Dogs ran and ran, up and down, through hills and double patios (one open, one covered). There are lots of toys that the host sterilizes at least weekly - much appreciated.
The big balls are great, but we needed one that has a loop handle on it for the big dog to carry around - we brought our own. A huge plus is how very clean the grounds are - I was prepared with bags, and only needed one for each of our dogs - thank you to the host - it means a lot!
We're going back soon!Constance C.

55This was a great spot to take my pup who was just diagnosed with cancer. She can't go to a regular dog park right now & this yard was big & very enjoyable for her to run around and play a little fetch! Parking & entering is very easy. Highly recommended! Cheryl H.

FAQ about our Lake Forest Park 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.
Are 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 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Lake Forest Park area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 281 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 55 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
