55This was such a perfect, wooded spot tucked right into SE Portland! Our pups loved the space to sniff and play. We’ll be back again soon!
55Super cute spot, fully fenced with lots of trees and bushes to sniff. They had fresh water out for us and a whole box of toys. There were kids and a dog playing outside at the neighbors house which my boys noticed but they were a good distance away, weren't out there for long and not an issue at all. Both of my boys had so much fun running through the leaves and sniffing everything they could. Will definitely visit again.
55We always love this space πŸ€— Happy Halloween πŸŽƒ
55Great spot. Very clean and lots to sniff!
55We loved it here!
55We had such a good time at The Shire! It is beautifully tree-lined, with room to run around and lots of nooks and crannies to sniff and explore. We brought sandwiches with us and sat on the tree stumps to have a little picnic, and it was delightful. Our little Aussie seemed perfectly comfortable and at home as soon as we arrived, which isn't always the case. Thank you so much for the amenities and the hospitality. We hope to be back soon!
55Lovely spot with big mature trees surrounding the 1/2 acre yard. I especially liked the personalized welcome to our dogs, it was such a nice touch. :)
55Fun yard! Hazel got in so many sniffs here! ☺️
35We did not use the spot as upon arrival, it was not safe for my dogs. The space has a double-lined busier road that boarders the spots with only a three foot fence. The site description fails to mention the proximity of the road. The owner of the spot claimed, when I inquired prior to arriving, that there was a suburban road. Most sniffspots are backyards or higher fences near busier streets/ roads. So, if you have a dog that can jump a 3' fence, know there's a road close by that could be a danger.
55We had the best time here! Clean, spacious, very secure. Our dog loved it.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

⚠️ Seasonal Advisory: πŸ„β€πŸŸ« Mushrooms have made their appearances here! We do our best to remove them quickly and also appreciate if guests let us know of any sightings. The tree that fell in the yard has become too much fun to clear up, thus the balancing log and stick library was born -Front porch has rocking chairs, ammenities, and the 'extras' for guests when purchased. If your dogs tend to chew on furniture or rugs please keep an eye on them while on the porch because there are some loose decorations n such - We have chickens fenced away but are visible - There's a messy (once cute) garden behind pallet dividers that is accessible to the curious, adventurous sniffers. It's a work in progress area. Your feedback is helpful. Thank you!

Welcome to my whimsical and woodsy play place in the city. The Shire is a large, happy go lucky yard that reflects seasonal changes with its varying colors and foliage.🌼πŸͺ» Always spacious enough for fetching and endless zumiez, it also offers hide-aways, bushes and trees for the adventurous, sniffy pups to explore. Dogs in-training will enjoy the safety of full fencing as they learn how to both play independently and respond to our typical surroundings of occasional winged🦜, wheeledπŸ›ž and pawfoot🐾 traffic. This spot is ever in-training with growth and improvements being worked on every season. I welcome feedback to help make every visit a most FUN-furred experience for all our dogs and their fun-loving families!

Private Dog Park by the Creek

Partially Fenced
1 acre

Private Dog Park on 1+ Acres Near Mt. Scott Creek IMPORTANT: Fresh tap water is not available in the dog field across the creek, and water bowls are not provided. If you prefer that your dog not drink from the creek, please bring your own drinking water and bowl. Just five minutes from Clackamas Town Center, our one-acre field offers plenty of open space, rolling hills, and access to peaceful Mt. Scott Creek. The creek flows year-round, although the water level drops during summer, and several areas allow dogs to wade and cool off on warm days. Please be aware that the creek is not fenced at either end, so this spot may not be suitable for dogs likely to follow the creek beyond the property. We do not use conventional chemical pesticides. The field is treated with organic diatomaceous earth in early spring and late fall to help control pests. The creekside can become muddy during winter, but most of the propertyβ€”especially the upper fieldsβ€”remains dry throughout the year. Please bring: β€’ Drinking water for your dog β€’ Your own water bowl β€’ A towel during wet or muddy weather Because the property is large, dog waste can easily be missed. Please keep track of where your dog goes and pick up all waste after. Complimentary waste bags are provided, with one trash bin near the creek and another in the upper field. Sniffin’ Hours: Monday to Sunday Spring & Summer: 8 AM – 9:00 PM Autumn & Winter: 8 AM – 7 PM Thanks for Sniffin’ at our Spot! β€”Daniel & Family
