55My dog loved his time running and exploring. The host allowed us to use an even larger area by closing the parking gate which was appreciated! Wendy B.

55Our dog had a wonderful time here. He loves to run, and, in this safe, spacious meadow he was able to explore freely. There was ample shade for him to rest in, with his people, when he got tired and hot from so much leaping and running. There was water for him to drink, and chairs for us. Note that the chairs aren't very clean, you might want to bring your own. But otherwise the space was clean and cared for. There was everything a dog would need to have a good time.Katlaina R.

55I have 15 pound dogs and found the fencing to be secure and my dogs had a great time exploring everything. Very clean. I learned Barn Hunt on this property many years ago ... lots of memories here!Deb B.

55This was our first sniff spot visit. We loved it. Nicely fenced and open, great place to work with your dog off leash. Plus, we had a tired boy from running and playing somewhere different. We will come back.Janet H.

55This is an awesome spot, well maintained, no gaps in fence bottoms, dogs had a great time running the perimeter of the large space. Only issue I could see if my smaller dog attempting to squeeze through larger hog fence. Otherwise perfect β‘Μ Sela R.

FAQ about our Parksville 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. 85% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Parksville 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 6 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 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.
