55This is such a wonderful Sniffspot. The creek is so much fun for the dogs. The fence is really secure, the grounds are well kept and I loved all the amenities. My dog and I had an amazing time and we will be back. Tiffany T.

55Great spot! Our first time here and the pups had a super time. Definitely a place to wear shoes that are meant to get dirty. A nice creek runs through the area so dogs got muddy but the hosts have towels to wipe off paws. The trails are basically a loop which we did 3 times. Love it and we will be back! Jennifer P.

55Another fun time at Nature in the City Dog Park! Big guy loves to run the trails and play in the creek while the little one gets lost in the bushes. Tons of sniffs for both pups and a nice time outside for the humans. Be prepared for muddy paws and make sure to wear shoes that can get dirty, but also get ready to have fun!Jennifer P.

55We had such a wonderful time! It was the perfect hour. It was big enough for our girl to explore and yet not get lost. She loved the creek and running through the trees and when she got bored with that there were a lot of toys to play with. We would definitely go back!Nikki F.

55This spot was SO MUCH FUN! My usually timid dog really let loose and did some adventuring at this spot — she was willingly jumping over and into the creek, doing zoomies, and eating her favourite creek grass. Plenty of interesting and different plants to smell. She really let loose, and it was a fun and beautiful spot for me to enjoy too. The hosts left a lot of great accommodations including toys and first aid and I can tell they really care about the spot.Teddi P.

55Fantastic spot with tons to do. Super clean with lots of owner-provided accessories which were all super fun.
We took the opportunity to try and hone our off-leash recall/hiking skills. Morgan P.

55Rozzi had a great time! The site is very well maintained with nice little trails, plenty of toys and seating, and Rozzi loved wading and drinking from the creek. Only downside is the blackberries, but I can tell the owners work hard to keep those in check. If you have a puppy that is still exploring everything with their mouths, though, be warned! Otherwise, great little spot for some new sniffs!Tara E.

55Great spot! My dog loved exploring the area and creek. We came a little late as the sun was setting and heard an owl hooting so that was cool. We’ll be back!Nikki N.

FAQ about our Vancouver small dog parks
Are small 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 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Vancouver?
There are 117 small dog parks in the Vancouver area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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 small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
