55Bev's Private Dog Park in Courtenay provided the ideal pit stop between Nanaimo and Campbell River, where we were catching the ferry to Quadra Island. The "dog park" was perfectly safe for our two reactive Cockapoos, as well as very well cared for and intentional. We will certainly return during our future travel days between Vancouver and the Northern Gulf Islands. Thank you, Bev! Julie K.

55This was the perfect space for our pup! She is a rescue dog who is extremely fearful of other dogs. This really makes it difficult to make sure she gets enough exercise. The area at K9Grammy’s was very nicely upkept, clean, and the fence was very secure. Great to see our pup be able to have all the space to run around without other dogs. Amy L.

55This is a wonderful field for dogs that like to run and play fetch! The grass was short so no bunnies to chase today. We had a great training moment when one dog noticed the horse across the street making a ruckus! The host dogs came out in their own separate fenced area and were perfectly behaved. We appreciated the toys and clean area to play. If you visit, please don't let your dogs dig holes though!! Ashley M.

55K9Grammy's sniffspot is a great place for our Dodger dog to be able to romp around. It was clean and we appreciated the balls and play toys that were available. We will definitely visit again. Thank you Colleen for sharing your lovely space with us! Tina P.

55What a fun day today, we got to see the new puppy, and beetle♥️. My guys joyfully played in the cool rain chasing balls and snooping! Looking forward to more play dates at this spot. Safe and secure! One thing would be nice is if people would pick up after their dogs.Karen L.

55Visited this spot 9/2 and 9/9 with my dog and a friend and her dog. Lola is a Burmese Mountain pup and Fergus is an 18 month old Irish Wolfhound. This spot was perfect for us all. The area is very easy to access and is fenced and mowed perfectly for the giant dogs to run and play to their hearts content. We will definitely try to return weekly for this delightful play time. Thank you for having this available to us dog lover/owners.Connie B.

55So much fun. My puppy enjoyed the off leash area and playing with different toys than her own, and also was fascinated by the cows in the on leash area. Super clean, convenient location. Tonya K.

FAQ about our Courtenay 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. 80% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Courtenay 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 3 fully fenced dog parks in the area. 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 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.
