Location

Tacoma, Washington

Description

Centrally located in the Summit area nestled between Tacoma and Puyallup. We’re just minutes between the I-5 and 512. At Summit Ridge Canine Retreat, a premium spot, there’s something to satisfy your dog’s need to stimulate their natural curiosity and bring them home tired…the humans too! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 Included in your booking, you and your pup(s) will have all three different areas to engage their noses in different sensory experiences while on our 3 acre fully fenced property. Whether it’s our indoor building, the ‘Dog Den’ is suitable for small to medium sized dogs to play. The indoor arena is heated, during the cold rainy season and also air conditioned during the hot summer months. The indoor ‘Dog Den’ is also great for having a Birthday or Gotcha “Pawty”. The Dog Den can be fully enclosed for those rainy days or stay cool in summer with the A/C on. The slider will open into the fully fenced 1/4 acre grass dog Zoomy Pen🐶 The fully enclosed grass ‘Zoomie Pen’ is perfect for zoomie time, puppies and dogs in training, some toy fun, playdates, or for dogs without good recall. We have lights in the indoor and around the Zoomie Pen for the dark autumn and winter evening nights 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲 Just outside the Zoomy Pen is our large play field giving lots of room for Chuckit tossing☄️parkour on the logs, relaxing on the lounge chair under the trees, a firepit for s’mores fun, or some nose work fun for mind stimulation and enrichment (see our Extras) The large playfield connects to the backwoods🌲so 🐾Venture out to the 1.5 acre wooded area providing a cool shaded area of trails for more sniffing, wildlife spotting and horses in the neighboring pasture. There will be occasional llamas and cows from the neighboring back pasture🦙 behind the wooded area. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 There is a private outdoor toilet for guest use next to the indoor ‘Dog Den’. 💦💦💦💦💦🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕💦💦💦💦💦💦 We have a rinse off station with warm water, shampoo spray and towels. Look for it on the driveway side of the house 🐕🚿 (not available during freezing weather) ————————————————————— For an even greater experience, we offer some add ons that are sure to enhance your dog’s enrichment (hoomans too) and go home tired from all the fun! —————————————————————— Like and follow us on Instagram and Facebook for last minute openings, discounts and more! ———————————————————————- We’re usually closed on Tuesday and Wednesday for maintenance ——————————————————————- **New guests use promo code SUMMITNEW for $5 off your first visit.**

Hazards

HOST NOTE

During the rainy season, best to wear good traction boots 🥾 as there are some lower areas that get muddy. The field and meadow have dips and slight incline. If you have mobility issues, message us for for parking 🅿️ assistance to the back of our shop that’s closer to the mid-field for sitting and best viewing of your dog(s). When in the far meadow and backwoods, watch your footing in the grassy area due to mole mounds and dips in the field. We don’t mow the back field as often so the grass is longer in some areas. In the rainy season there’s a potential for a mud bog between the meadow and the wooded area because we’re next to a watershed. There’s a potential for tripping on ivy vines in some of the trails that don’t have wood chips but we have cleared away the majority of them. We’re laying down wood chips in all of the trails as they become available. On gusty winds days there is a potential for downed tree limbs so best to stay in the open mid-field or in the Zoomie Pen area where it’s most open. We work on the backwoods area whenever possible to make improvements and clear up more walking trails. **Closed shoes or hikers are strongly advised.** We have a small decorative natural pond in the front yard which is enticing for water dogs and puppies. It’s not deep but if your dog goes in, chances are they’ll need a bath afterwards! Because of this, it’s a good reason to leash your dog(s) when crossing the front yard area and when walking to/from your vehicle. This spot has a water feature, make sure to review these guidelines for visiting spots with water before visiting: https://help.sniffspot.com/article/167-how-to-keep-your-dog-safe-around-pools-and-water

Katie's 0.5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Tacoma

Fully Fenced

0.5 acres

We have a convenient location in Summit just off of Canyon Road near 512. Our backyard is fully fenced, with a play structure for kids and lots of shade in the summer, but plenty of sunshine too when it’s out. The backyard has a gentle slope that’s easy to navigate, we have comfortable chairs with cushions for hanging out. Feel free to move the chairs around the yard if you want a shady spot. It’s a dead end street and is pretty quiet all together. The neighbors behind the tall cedar fence have two dogs that can sometimes be heard but not seen. Lots of people walk their dogs on leashes on the main road but it is not really visible from the backyard. We are located really close to an entrance to Orangegate Park with its newly paved and unpaved trails. You’re welcome to leave your car parked here if you’re going to enjoy some on leash time with your dog at Orangegate before or after your visit. We do not have any pets of our own but do have two little people on premises, please let me know if you’d like to introduce your dog to some kids. My kiddos are amazingly respectful, gentle and patient with dogs so would be great kids to introduce your dogs to if you’re trying to get them accustomed to kids.

Camp Dilly Dally Doggie Park In Buckley

Partially Fenced

5 acres

We offer five acres of partially mowed fields and a natural wooded area. There is a small spring-fed pond and access to South Prairie Creek. Since the creek has a variable current, it may be best for larger dogs. The pond is ideal for smaller dogs who aren't strong swimmers. There are some logs and rocks to step over so sturdy shoes are recommended. We make a constant effort to subdue the blackberries but you may encounter strong-willed vines. Please avoid the dead tree area. There is a shed with supplies where you park.

My dogs are all rescues and two come from a reservation in Montana and need the space to run and be free but not having a fenced yard wasn’t an option for them. So I hope that my space can be a place for your dogs to all be free and safe!
