55We had a play date with another pupper! There was a lot of space to explore. They did find a few garden things that we had to watch out for (like cardboard and cabbage) but it was super fun for them to run on different terrain. Tatiana P.

55Great spot - my dog was so happy sniffing around and playing stress free. He did not stop smiling! I was a little nervous entering the space as wanted to be sure I was in the right spot, but once settled we both had a lovely time.Nicole P.

55Our dogs loved playing in Aimee’s yard! There’s a nice big water bowl, hose for fresh water, and it was fully fenced and felt safe. Super quiet, peaceful neighbourhood.Kelsey M.

55My dog had a great time running around! At first I did have to be a bit careful with him wanting to pick up stuff like cardboard (he eats everything he finds) but once he was playing with his ball, it was totally fine Jessica F.

FAQ about our Vancouver 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Vancouver 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 63 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 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.
