55Host was super fast to respond and the yard was nice and large - unfortunately my pup is pretty skittish around road/highway noise and we weren’t quite ready for it. Would recommend otherwise, though! There’s also a really nice trail with a creek nearby.Meghan M.

55Really a wonderful location with plenty of space to run and so many amazing sniffs. I am so appreciative, my pups can easily spend over an hour with their noses to the ground there!
Very easy to find and access. Its essentially a very large field filled with grasses and other natives growing freely. Towards the back of the property there are some larger trees and a lower area that collects water seasonally between the berry bushes. My impression is that it's only a couple inches deep, but my labrador can easily squeeze back there and plops on in with glee.
I can't comment on appropriateness for Reactive dogs. It's truely a rural location but there are cars on the streets and we have occasionally seen/heard a neighbor moving about on their property so it would depend on your dog's triggers. I haven't seen any other dogs or livestock along the immediate fence lines. The property is mostly fenced, however in some parts the fencing is just 2 or 3 strands of wire.

55Easy to find, beautiful field. Austin was responsive and helpful when contacted.
Land is mostly tall grass in an open field. Wear long pants. There’s a few trees near the back of the property with a low spot where water collects. Dogs can definitely squeeze in there to reach the water. I don’t think it’s very deep or clean.
This property is on a corner lot and there are cars on the roads on two sides of the property. The fence will not keep most dogs “in”, as most of it is two or three wires running along the property line. So be mindful of this if your dog doesn’t stay close, doesn’t listen, or tends to chase cars or bikes. Jessica N.

55I love this place because of what it has to offer. It’s remote but not too far away, large open farmland. After the field is cut it’s great to bring a ball and throw it around and just wander. The perimeter has barb wire fence. If your dog really wanted to get through it could but it’s pretty secure. Ira L.

55The field is great! It’s nice for on and off leash walking. There are some open spots in the enclosure to be aware of, but other than that it’s a nice big area. Cameron Y.

55This location is perfect! Close to home and I really just needed a place to play ball that gave my dog room to stretch her legs.

55Wonderful large spot. Easy to find. Easy to park and stay a good distance away from the owner's house (we are a socially distanced household currently). Large field that was adequately maintained for a nice walk n run with the dogs. We'll be back!Melissa C.

55We had a wonderful time letting our young dog run in this field. He can really stretch his legs and go fast! Just FYI, he is a hunting dog and did happen to find the dead carcass of an animal. It is so nice to feel out in the country so close to the urban area. Thanks for a great experience! Jessica N.

55Great open field with good visibility and easy parking. Well-maintained and super chill spot. Fyi, there are goats in the field behind this one, and the barbed wire fence is not secure. If your dog is a chase-y moron like my pit bull, you might want to leash up near the back fence. Fortunately my dogs have excellent recall, so she didn't get sliced to ribbons trying to eat goat meat for dinner. Love this spot and will definitely be back!Lorenzo F.

55Love this field to run my dogs in! About 20 minutes in we heard a horse neigh near one edge. My little dog got curious, and I wasn’t going to risk letting him chase livestock. So we avoided the east side and just sort of stuck to the middle. Great way to let the dogs get their energy used up by playing fetch in the field and getting to run full blast! Thanks for opening this area up to the dogs!!!Rema G.

55Easy to find. Huge field. Not as muddy as other places despite the rain. There is no gate or fence at the entry point so we walked our dogs in on leash and then there was plenty to do far from the road. The pups loved it, and found a wooded water spot at the back of the property. Would be a great place to have social distance puppy play dates. Karen H.

55This spot was amazing!! Rachal was so kind and welcoming and met us outside to show us down to the beach area! (Which was huge!) So much space to run and water to play in along with plenty of logs and trees to jump on and sniffs! Summer B.

55Truly amazing and HUGE spot! The hosts met me at the entrance to the property to show me around, made themselves available in case I needed anything, and then left Valentina and me to play to our hearts content! I had forgotten how fast she can run when she's in a truly open space!! Will definitely return!Cathy B.

FAQ about our Ilwaco 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.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 5 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
