55In the summer time this is all dirt and dust but my dog loved it! He played fetch the whole time and found lots of little corners of the yard to sniff and take a break. We came in the morning and it was nice and cool but I imagine in the heat of day there would be lots of shade. Thank you so much for a great time!Lisa W.

55Nice space! Plenty of room for running and exploring. FYI there are some dogs that bark next door and sometimes a visible cat by the back door in case that doesn't work for your dog.Aleksandra D.

55Our rescue, Bruce, LOVES this space so much. It's shaded and they have some tennis balls out so pups can play. They also have a water dish near the hose so he can rehydrate while he's running all over the place. The neighbors do have dogs, but every time we arrive and they start barking they immediately bring in their dogs - super thoughtful and never an issue. This Sniff Spot has risen to the top of my list - I absolutely love it!Jenn C.

55So nice to have a sniffspot nearby! Brought two big dogs and they had a great morning wrestling and smelling all the plants. We’ll definitely be back. Kathleen Q.

55This was a great space with lots of things to sniff and a nice amount of room to run. There is a significant gap underneath an AC unit and the fence behind, so small-medium dogs should stay leashed. Carlee B.

55As others have mentioned, be prepared for muddy conditions. I didn’t mind and neither did Eike! The instructions are straightforward and accurate to get in. There are loads of toys scattered about and a bowl to fill with water. We heard the neighbor dogs barking but they only did so for a few minutes. Great inner city location for a quick romp.Katrina D.

55There’s no grass so it looks a little muddy but the drainage is super good and my dog stayed clean despite the fact that it drizzled on the drive over. Madeline M.

55A great neighborhood spot for my dog George to get some off leash time. Knowing it would be a bit muddy I planned ahead and we went to play and run around right before bath time - but he stayed fairly clean anyway! The dirt is fairly well packed through most of the yard. As described in the posting and in all the reviews. There was a small issue with the entrance pull when I arrived but the host came out to let us in and I’m sure is fixing the latch!Eve G.

55Really straightforward yard. Mostly dirt so it was muddy but that was to be expected. I was worried my dog wouldn’t be into it since it’s so close to the interstate and she hates loud noises but this was one of the places she sniffed around the most! The fencing is very tall and secure which is very nice. We will definitely come back! Page W.

55Securely fenced and mostly very calm and quiet! Heads up in case you have a dog-reactive pup - when we arrived, a dog barked quite a bit at us from the neighbor’s backyard, but I imagine they’re not outside most of the time. Christina A.

55great yard! The patio seating was great to have and there were lots of trees which made a really hot afternoon not so hot at all! It is mostly dirt, so i could see it being muddy right after rain. We had no issues! Loved it!Ez C.

55Clean, flat, easy to find Sniffspot with taller fencing than most. My three dogs loved exploring, sniffing, and chasing each other around the trees and bushes. My tripod senior foster dog was so happy running around on flat, level ground! Can't wait to come back soon😊Rona A.

55Lovely yard in a lovely neighborhood! My 5 month old golden retriever loved sniffing around and exploring the space. Plenty of space for some fetch. It was a great, low distraction area to tire her out and practice some recall with her :) Meredith was great to communicate with, and the spot was easy to find! Taylor B.

55Haven’t been able to go to this great spot for awhile due to health reasons. But it’s still a perfect spot for Mr. Pibb. I understand she’s closing it down and will remodel. We are grateful for the time we had here and wish great things for the owner! 🐕❤️🐾Edward H.

FAQ about our Portland fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Portland?

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
