55Very nice spot!
55Our dog loved the smells and especially the toys. Owner mentions the back side of the fence is mesh and it is quite loose. It wasn’t an issue for us at all but do consider that when visiting.
45Our visit to Camp Columbia was a positive experience for my dog, who needs a quiet experience in a fenced yard. Camp Columbia provided this. Parking was also easy.
55Clean and quiet.
55Great spot to play with the pup. Water and toys provided. Excellent!
35garden is not like the photos, just needs a bit of a clean up but if you’re in need of a quick stop will do the job :)
55We love this spot. Its pretty quiet, parking is easy, and there's lots of things to smell!
55Nice yard with tons to sniff!
55We had a great time. It is great for smaller dogs.
55Great spot. Easy to access.

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

“On rare occasion someone will walk with their dog down the alley behind the yard. The fence facing the alley is mostly opaque but not sturdy enough to hold dogs back from an aggressive fence fight if your pup is prone to such things. There is a tenant in the duplex to the north with two little dogs that come and go from time to time, but it's pretty infrequent.”

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

“Sometimes people walk down the alley behind the yard, so passers-by are sometimes visible. Occasionally residents of the neighboring 2-plex come and go by car or foot. The house on the south side of the yard is (long term) unoccupied but once every month or so a landscaping crew swoops in the straighten things up over there. Lots of mowers and leaf blowers - noisy. Sadly, I’m unable to predict when those days will be.”

Description

Modest but useful fully enclosed 1500 sq ft back yard in Columbia City. If the nearby dog park on Genessee is too much for your pup, enjoy this little retreat instead. Fully fenced and enclosed for peace of mind (although if you have a jumper, take note that my fences are not super tall). There are two narrow strips along each side of the house which make for good, short sprints. We've gotten happy reviews from small and medium sized pups, but the space is probably not big enough to satisfy larger pooches that need long sprints or a ton of roaming acreage. The duplex to the north does have two small dog residents but they are rarely seen. The neighboring house to the south is vacant so it is a pretty quiet zone. Trash day is Thursday and the yard faces the alley where the big green trash trucks growl past, so be aware of that potential distraction. Also, the neighbor to the south has an irregular, unpredictable schedule for the landscaping crew, and it can be really noisy for a hot 60 minutes when they show up. If they start up while you're here, feel free to bail and let me know so I can rebook you at no cost. Ample street parking in front of the house on 38th Ave South. Enter through the gate on the north side of the red house. There is no parking along the back alley between 38th & 39th but there is a walk-in entrance from that alley if you prefer. The light blue bin against the house contains some dog towels and a few other toys, treats, and supplies. Please keep it latched to prevent critters from getting in. Shoot me a note if there are any problems with the yard or supplies. Most of the pictures are from spring when the grass was lush and green and hundreds of tulips were in bloom. Hot summers and drought season leave the yard browner and less lush other times of the year. Also note that the rabbit hutch, chicken coop, and vegetable garden fence are now gone so you have more room to romp!

Janimal's 1 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Maple Valley

Fully Fenced
1 acre

Enjoy 1.3 acres of fenced pasture and natural area with many areas to explore. Your pup will climb over a giant felled tree, run around the seasonal pond, sniff all the smells left by elk, coyotes, and even bears that came by during the night. No pesticides or herbicides have been used in this area. The fence is 3 feet tall in the lowest area, but the area abuts a large grassy area and additional pastures.  The only domesticated animals your pup(s) might hear or see is my dog, who will be secured inside the house during your visit, and possibly the neighbor's dogs; they are over 100 feet away from the fence for the Sniffspot and separated by another pasture. This natural area is visited by wildlife. You may see bear, coyote, deer, and elk scat. Once you are in the fenced sniff spot, your pup should not be able to hear my dog anymore. Paved roads and paved parking make it easy to get to this sniff spot, but you will have to walk across the grass to the sniff spot; you will want to wear appropriate shoes.

Renton Oasis: Shady Hill Hobby Farm

Fully Fenced
4 acres

Welcome to Shady Hill Hobby Farm! Our farm offers a wooded pasture with a creek (please note: during the summer months the creek can become muddy) that is fully fenced with horse fencing and barbed wire. The gate at the end of the gravel path marks the beginning of your off-leash experience! Once inside, you can head left to enjoy the creek or continue up the hill to explore the woods and pasture. For your convenience, we also provide a water hose for rinsing off your dog after playtime. The hose is located outside the Sniffspot along the fence near the sheep enclosure. We especially recommend using it during the dry season when the creek area tends to get muddy. Bringing towels is also a good idea. Upon entering the farm, parking will be on your right. Please park your vehicle on the wood chips. Because this is an active farm with free-ranging chickens, we ask that all dogs remain leashed until they are inside the Sniffspot gate. You are also welcome to observe the farm animals while your dog is leashed. We hope you enjoy our farm as much as we do. ~ Hall Fam
