Location

Happy Valley, Oregon

Description

Private Dog Park on 1+ Acres near Mt. Scott Creek: Just 5 minutes from Clackamas Town Center, our one-acre enclosed field offers open space, rolling hills, and the serene Mt. Scott Creek meanders through the property. The creek flows year-round—its levels dip in summer—and there are several spots where pups can wade and cool off on warm days. Please note: the creek is not fenced at both ends. Our field is pesticide-free and treated with organic diatomaceous earth in early spring and late fall to sanitize and keep it free of pests. The creekside can be muddy during winter, but most of the property—especially the upper fields—remains dry year-round. Sniffin’ Hours: Monday to Sunday Spring & Summer: 8 AM – 8:30 PM Autumn & Winter: 8 AM – 7 PM During your visit, our two 5-year-old Doberman-Mastiff mixes will remain indoors so you and your pup can explore freely. Thanks for Sniffin’ at our Spot! —Daniel & Family

Hazards

HOST NOTE

Deck boards may become slippery during snowy weather. The stairs leading to the bridge are steep, but you can release your dog safely at the wooden gate. Some sloped areas and pathways can be uneven and slippery especially when wet, while the higher fields remain flat and dry year-round. Parts of the trail near the creek and foothills are narrow—please use caution, and we recommend wearing hiking shoes.

Water safety notice

Make sure to practice dog and human safety around water. Read more

No other animals or pets are allowed on the premises.

KJ's Splash & Sniff Dog Park

Partially Fenced
0.5 acres

Hi yall, We hope you’ll enjoy our back yard as much as our dogs do. My wife and I run and manage our spot. Our area here is in a small neighborhood with little to no traffic. You can access the entrance through the left side of the house. Just push the gate and it should open easily. As for parking there is a guest area right in front of the house but the drive way can be used to park if there is no parking available. There will be a smaller little fence that can be closed but you can leave it open as well. We will provide some toys and of course balls so you can play with your dogs free of charge. We additionally have snacks and water if needed. There are poop bags as well. You can find these items on the deck and please feel free to sit down and enjoy a nice seat. Our back yard will have trees with plenty of shade and a large area for the dogs to run around. Some areas of the yard are muddy but it is mostly grassy. If you head down to the property you will find a stream with a sandy beach and an old bench. The stream is only accessible through our property but not fully fenced off due to the running water. But it is a secluded area where your dogs will not be able to run off.

Fully Fenced Yard & Driveway Parking

Fully Fenced
0.17 acres

XL backyard with lots of room to romp and some things to climb on (logs, stumps). Yard is entirely fenced, but access gate is hog fence and may allow for very small dogs to slip through. Also some stacked firewood along a 4.5ft fence means some dogs could climb the firewood and jump out. Yard backs to an elementary school and park, so at times there is recess near the back fence (busy), or just generally people at the park. Please do not use the dog kennel/enclosure area.

Green Acres Homestead 1 Acre Sniffspot

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Full polished version with #11 included: Welcome to Green Acres Homestead! Discover acres of adventure on our fully fenced pasture, complete with a seasonal creek and a peaceful pond — perfect for dogs to run, splash, and explore. Nestled on a charming farm beside Green Acres K9 Resort (a dog boarding and daycare facility), our play space offers a secure and refreshing retreat for your pups, whether they're visiting for playtime or boarding nearby. Getting here: Please watch for our Sniffspot signs and follow them carefully to the designated play area. You're encouraged to park all the way at the end of the driveway, in front of the fence. Visitor limit: We cap each visit at 4 dogs and 2 adults unless arranged with us ahead of time. This space is meant for you and your own dogs to enjoy — not for dog gatherings, parties, or commercial dog handlers bringing client dogs. Reality check: Most visitors already know what to expect and love bringing their dogs here — but for anyone less familiar with farm life, we want to be upfront about the environment you'll experience. It's very likely you may: Hear a dog barking from the boarding facility See a farmer working Share a fence line with livestock (yes, you can say hello!) Find mud in the wet season, and no creek in the dry season See algae in the pond when the water isn't flowing, and weeds in the field Notice some weeds or pokey plants — we mow to keep the main field clear of blackberries and weeds, but can't guarantee a weed-free space Be in true nature — the creek and pond are spring-fed, but there's always a chance of picking something up outdoors Watch your dog dig and carry sticks and rocks — just be aware there may be holes, sticks, or rocks around Use the dock at your own risk — it holds my family with no problem, but makes no promises for anyone else; you're welcome to use it with your own judgment Encounter a pond with gradual sloping sides over half its edge, but steeper drop-offs in some sections Post a photo of your dog's vaccination records to the chat before your first visit — this only needs to be done once (until they expire). Keeping our space healthy is critical to us; illnesses like Parvo can be extremely dangerous to dogs and can linger in the soil for as long as several years which is a very long time once introduced. We never want to discourage anyone from enjoying this place the way we do — we just want your expectations to match reality. We look forward to seeing you here soon!

Our yard is mostly grass with some trees for shade, chairs and a hammock for humans, and plenty of privacy for all. Fences are solid wood, 6 feet tall all around. Our pup, Major, will be indoors (unless you request a play with him - he's a friendly golden retriever). We'll keep the curtains closed for your privacy. If you have a reactive dog and would like our dog completely out of sight, message me and I can accommodate that with prior notice. There are neighbors on the side with dogs that your pup may see arriving to the spot. Plenty of street parking in front of the house. Private side yard entrance to the right of the house by the garage. Please use what you see available - dog bags next to the gate, toys on the dog hammock or inside the chest, towels, hose, treats on the glass table and water station for pups, garbage bin by the gate.
