55This was a good spot away from any busy areas to let my dog run off-leash. I brought my own ball and tossed it with him. The area is fully fenced although the entrance could potentially let a smaller, determined dog get through. My pitbull mix enjoyed it and I will be bringing him back for more run and sniff time! There were some dogs and goats nearby but not right at the fence, so not too distracting for curious dogs although you may hear/see them. A couple piles of dog poop previous guests might not have picked up, but overall clean. Sara U.

55Another great visit! The off leash area is has very secure fencing with mowed grass and plenty of space for ball play. The large unfenced leash area is great for long line walking. A lot of sniffing and investigating. Owners dog was present but just watchful and quiet, not an issue at all with my two dogs that can be reactive. Owner is very kind and thoughtful. Trash can provided for poop bags and easy private entrance. We will be back again!Joann H.

55What a nice area in Bellingham for my boys to get their zoomies out. A nice note greeted us with toys and poop bags. A water bowl was a very nice addition that my boys appreciated. Several nice chairs available for the weary mom. We will definitely come back!Nancy L.

55I just got my dog a few days ago and needed somewhere he could run around safely. This place was perfect! Large enough that he could run himself out but not so large that I couldn’t keep an eye on him. Hand sanitizer was provided along with some toys - the frisbee was a big hit with my boy. The fence was very secure and I now have one tired pup on my hands. We will definitely be coming back!Callaway H.

55Jill and Lil’s yard is great. It is fully fenced and felt very safe. There is plenty of room to run. Parking is perfect. Jill had water readily available and some great toys. I ordered the Super Tug toy right away! There were comfy chairs in the shade and Jill even brought more chairs out for us just in case. Levi and his brother, Bhodi, who came up from Seattle had a great time. The humans enjoyed it just as much. We will definitely return. Thanks Jill and thanks Lil for sharing your yard!Victoria T.

55We had a lovely afternoon in the BackForty. Property is fully fenced and secure....even our extremely smart poodle pups couldn’t figure out an escape route. A most welcoming environment for dogs and people. This is Giacomo after his afternoon racing around the Sniffspot site.Kris B.

FAQ about our Powell River 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. 80% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Powell River 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 3 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.
