55Huge spot! We had a great time. Super secure fencing, easy to park, enter, and exit. Lots of fun toys and water, covered comfy chairs. Beautiful yard, so grateful to have found this one and will definitely plan to be back, even though it’s a bit far afield for us.
There were quite a few cars passing by beyond the fence, which isn’t really a problem, just something to be aware of as our specific dog is a car chaser. Ashley K.

55Had another blessed and fantastic visit with Hal & Colleen. Chester is madly in love with Hal, so they got to play together today. It broke my heart to see Chester run after Hal when he had to leave to take care of some things. Chester eventually decided Colleen and I worth throwing his ball. 🤣 The weather was perfect! This is such a fantastic place to visit. It securely fenced and has lots of room for dogs of all sizes.
We’ll definitely be visiting again.Carrie F.

55Oscar had a blast today!! He had the best time exploring all over the super-clean yard, chasing balls and looking with curiosity at a rope toy haha We had a blast playing Chuck-it with balls that were provided, and he found a nice cool spot to rest in (between some beautiful rhodies) when he was tired. He didn't want to leave! We will visit again sometime 😊💗🐕Emily N.

55Super clean and big yard! My dog had a blast here running around and hanging out. Hosts were extremely communicative. You can hear people walking by but it was a great training opportunity to direct my dog elsewhere
will definitely come back! Mika M.

55Best yard! We have three medium to large dogs and this place was GREAT! There is a good amount of shade from trees for warmer days. Our pups were so tired afterward. Great time. Thank you.Kristina K.

55Absolutely perfect spot for my 2 standard poodles who have very different personalities. Plenty of space for sniffing and lots of room for zoomies. Hal & Colleen are very kind and accommodating. Even a dedicated parking spot! The area is shaded with a pleasant seating area for the humans. One of the best experiences we've had!Jayne O.

55This was my first time. Hal n Colleen came out introduced themselves making me feel at ease. My dog sniffed and played comfortably. I brought toys but she really liked the hand ball thrower. The area was very comfortable for both my Lily and myself, we will be back! Thank you! Terisa M.

55Hal and Colleen's spot is always clean and ready for a visit. Hugo is relatively new to sniff spots and can get a bit overwhelmed. He was much more animated this time. We had fun and will visit again.Anne P.

55My dogs love this place, all five of them! It is a lovely and secure space with plenty of room for chuck it play. Much of it is shaded which is nice on hot days and it is fun to see things growing during the year. There is an amazing kiwi bush and the most lovely wisteria.
I am very thankful to have this place.

55I love coming to this sniff spot with my dog. Before we can even get here and we are about 5 blocks away, my dog realizes where we are going and has a hard time sitting still in anticipation of our arrival. It's clean, large with plenty of interest spots for my guy to run around before we start playing fetch. Bonnie H.

FAQ about our Federal Way 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Federal Way 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 282 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 51 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.
