55There were some neighbor dogs that barked and one came up to the fence barking after hearing our dogs playing, but their owner came and put them inside while we were there, which was really nice. There's still grass in the backyard and it's a great place to chill or run around, lots of random tree sticks to chew, etc.Anna K.

55Communicative host. My dogs loved the spot and ran around like crazy. It’s a simple backyard with plenty to sniff. It was a little muddy so be prepared with proper footwear if you come after it rains. I didn’t see any place for poop bags! There were chairs and a water bowl. Thanks!Page W.

55Very nice little backyard spot! We brought our medium and large dogs here and there was plenty of room for the two of them to sniff and run about. Would definitely recommend for folks looking to have a low key visit that focuses on sniffing, wrestling and training over long bouts of fetch and running around. Thomas R.

55Small but nice yard. I think it would be perfect size for playing with a buddy, not quite big enough to throw the ball. My dog did some zoomies around yard and we practiced some off leash recall. Sydney G.

55My dog absolutely loved playing here! We had a big space to play fetch. There were three neighbor dogs that came out early in the morning to potty and were a little barky. They were back in within 5 minutes. My dog didn’t mind them at all but something to consider if your dog doesn’t love other dogs. Otherwise, super easy to find, street parking available, and fully fenced. (: Karina A.

55A quiet, shady yard for my dog to run around in. Nothing fancy, but it was nice sitting in the chairs looking at the sky, the trees and the apartments behind the house. Very down to earth.jessie b.

55It was our first time here this morning, but won't be our last! Easy to find, nearby street parking, well-marked entrance and instructions. My senior dogs loved exploring and sniffing Erica's back yard, which was clean and comfortable. There were some balls laying around, but both my dogs were more interested in exploring all the new smells and going in and aeound the trees and bushes. Loved the airy, shaded pergola, where there was comfy seating. Great communication and gracious host! Rona A.

55I love coming here and tossing a ball around while I watch the clouds in the Adirondack chairs. It’s not super fancy or big but it’s enough room for our high energy dog to run around and get tuckered out. jessie b.

55Cute little spot to play. It was raining when we visited, but there was a nice undercover area to hide out while pup went for a frolick. Best for a medium or small dog; large dogs will enjoy it too but they might need a little more run space.Sarah H.

FAQ about our Ilwaco 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 Ilwaco?
There are 10 small dog parks in the Ilwaco 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.
