55What a wonderful place to play! The yard was so much bigger than I thought. Plenty of room to use a chuck it. There were lots of toys to play with--didnt need to bring my own chuck it and ball because there is one there! There was even a little monster truck that my daughter played with. Not sure if someone left it there or if host provided it. Non the less, we had an awesome time. Thank you for creating a safe space for us to play. Amanda R.

55Love!! Space is nice and open. The area is nice, clean and having chairs and extra dog toys was a nice touch. I was able to park right outside the home and had no issues getting in or out. Gate is nice and secure all the way around, which put my mind at ease (Thank You ). This will not be our last time visiting the space ☺️🐶Lluvia C.

55Excellent yard with nice fences and well kept grass! My dog loved it! On the other side of the fence is an apartment building parking lot so if your dogs are super stranger danger just be aware. There is a nice dark privacy screen up so that really helps! It was perfect for my jumbo guy! There is even a poop scoop and special trash bin available for usage. Lots of toys and some chairs too! I'll definitely be coming again ^-^ Kristin R.

55Awesome backyard for throwing the ball with my pup. During our visit someone was working in the garage the whole time near us, but I thought it was great for desensitization for my pup! She did awesome! We both loved it and will for sure be back!!Amanda R.

55this is a great yard with a great host! jaclyn is responsive and thoughtful and had toys and treats outside, and the privacy fence is definitely helpful. my reactive boy was a bit too anxious for all the sounds around the apartments nearby, but we were also there at a super busy time (friday at 5pm), so that's not anything against the spot itself! we used it as a training session and i kept him on the longline. it's a great amount of space to run though! if your pup doesn't mind people/noises around, even better!Reed V.

55Going back again today! This yard worked out great for my pups. The host let us know ahead of time about some gaps that were covered after the grass was cut a little short on the side, loved the communication and attention to detail, and it was definitely well-covered and not an issue (even for my escape artist weenie dog).Tori S.

55First time at this spot, and we all (2 dogs, 3 teens, 1 mom) loved it! Didn't take photos, were having too much fun playing. Space was clean, nice shady area with chairs and water bottles and lots of toys for all. Enough space for the whippet to really stretch her legs, and the labradoodle-mostly kept up..😆We will definitely be back!Carrie H.

55Excellent, clean spot. It was bigger than expected. Great for if you have small pups that want to play or any sized pups that want to chase a ball the whole time, as there's not a ton to sniff per se, but it's well situated for long throws and running.
I took our 4 month old puppy and he was a bit of an overstimulated nightmare (🙃) so I left rather quickly, but I can see that it would be a great option for our adult pup who just wants to chase the soccer ball constantly. Will definitely come again!Hilary D.

55This was our first Sniffspot and it was a great experience! We were watching our friend's GSP puppy, Riplee, and she has ridiculous energy. All of the toys and the chuck-it and tennis balls we brought kept her entertained the entire time. Great experience and great, in-town location for a Sniffspot.Keri S.

55Rubble loved his first romp in this Sniffspot. The backyard was more than big enough for my Great Dane to run himself out 15 minutes into the half hour. He loved the options of toys, and all the room to run and sniff! Being our first time I was a little skeptical just walking down a driveway into someone’s backyard especially bc I didn’t see any sniff spot signs, but as soon as I did it was obvious we were in the right yard. 10/10 will definitely be back.Grace F.

55This sniff spot was clean and the directions were accurate. Plenty of room to run and well, sniff! A few fun toys too! Our dog lost her mind over the big tennis ball. 😂 Thanks for a great play!Jen A.

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 130 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 34 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.
