55Great spot for inquisitive dogs who like to explore - the yard has so many little spots and nooks and crannies... Our dogs sniffed and wandered around the entire time! There were apple trees with a fair number of apples on the ground, and blackberry bushes with thorns on one side of the yard, several vehicles which our dogs were VERY interested in, and a pool with a hose for filling it. The owner also provided poop bags and a waste container, and a nice selection of toys. Overall, a great spot in the heart of Hillsboro. Melissa D.

55Was many hours into our road trip back home and was in desperate need to get the pup out, but with it being 100 degrees out I didn’t just want to pull over anywhere. I stumbled upon this spot and was SO thankful they basically took me with 15 minutes notice! Had the perfect kiddie pool (bigger than most) all ready for us upon our arrival along with fresh filled water bowls! It was exactly what we needed and more. We will be back! Tayler J.

55Still my boys favorite sniffspot so far! Plenty of shade! They have seating, clean dog bowl and even filled up a little pool for them before I got there! My boys have not been curious about the pool but with rising temps I’m glad it’s available! The owner is so nice as well and helped me out with extending my times today etc! Highly recommend!Nicole M.

55Nice large and flat space. Surprisingly quiet despite being near a freeway. Space is a corner lot, so not private but neighborhood fairly quiet. Site has chairs, toys, hoses, etc so it's set up for a full experience. My dogs especially liked the two hummocks for zooming up and down (and round and round).Val & Paul K.

55This is such a great spot! The fencing is tall and super secure, I had no worries letting my dog explore on his own, which he usually doesn’t get the opportunity to do. Host is very friendly and the directions are very clear! I think we found a new favorite spot!Maren S.

Sophie's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs In SW Portland | Sniffspot
55The neighbor’s dog barked at us for ~10 minutes before the owner did anything about it- luckily my dog was unbothered but something to keep in mind if you’re looking for somewhere without any distractions. There is also a tree that drops apples and raspberries, which are both safe for dogs, but also keep in mind if you’re worried about your dog has allergies or something. Otherwise, a great space with *just* enough room to play fetch. Sophie has another Sniffspot down the road that we have had a great time at as well!Heather J.

FAQ about our North Plains 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 North Plains?
There are 118 small dog parks in the North Plains 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.
