55My dog loved it! The signs were helpful to know where to go.
45Our dogs & kids had a blast. Only downfall was the bees, 2 people in our group got stung while visiting. We checked the first aid kit for something to help with the sting, but no luck. The trails are fun to explore.
55Another fun time at Nature in the City Dog Park! Big guy loves to run the trails and play in the creek while the little one gets lost in the bushes. Tons of sniffs for both pups and a nice time outside for the humans. Be prepared for muddy paws and make sure to wear shoes that can get dirty, but also get ready to have fun!
55It was very nice and clean and the creek was perfect for my dog to wade and cool off in.
55My dogs really enjoy racing around the property and jumping in the creek.
55This is such a wonderful Sniffspot. The creek is so much fun for the dogs. The fence is really secure, the grounds are well kept and I loved all the amenities. My dog and I had an amazing time and we will be back.
45Thank you sharing your yard with us!
55Great sniff spot! Communication was clear and it was easy to navigate.
55Really great spot! So many different types of areas to sniff and explore. We will be back!
55Really lovely little spot! Felt very secluded and peaceful. The host provided water, chairs and even some toys if we needed. Tons of areas for our pup to run and explore. We will definitely be back!

I have almost 2 acres of property. The dog park is 1 1/2 acres that is separate and fully fenced with 5-6 ft fencing. It is located away from my house and my house yard area. I will keep my dogs inside during visits, although they may bark from inside the house if they see you coming or going. You may or may not hear them.

This is generally a quiet neighborhood, although we are located on a busier street. Sometimes people walk by, but can’t really see inside the property, unless you are walking along the street fence line. You may see a neighbor on a rare occasion if you explore the far backside of the property along the fence. Family members may come and go during your visit, but this is in a separate fenced area and they will be aware of your privacy.

Description

Nature in the City is a unique Private Dog Park that is 1 1/2 acres of beautiful natural land with varied landscapes. Our natural setting has different areas including 2 grassy fields perfect for fetch w/discs, ropes, or toys, (balls are not best here due to all of the surrounding bushes), areas great for running, a forested area with several nature trails for a hiking adventure where your dog(s) can run, explore, run & feel free, a large tree’d area that your pups can run under, and a healthy little creek that your pups can wade in, cool off, and drink from. Your dogs will have so many different sniffing and secure off-leash exploring opportunities here! Our spot is so much more than just a fenced field! The area is diverse and so much fun for your dog(s). There are a couple areas on the trails that are a little steep, there’s an area where you have to walk on logs 🪵, and the little creek has to be stepped over, so people with limited mobility may have issues in these areas of the spot. There are plenty of spaces and trails that are suitable for all abilities. If you’re looking for a basic fenced field to play chuck-it then this probably isn’t your spot. We are continually working on our property, so every time you visit it will have more open space, more trails, and less blackberry bushes. We provide a rain/sun shelter with foldable chairs and lots of supplies including dog toys & balls, poop bags, hand sanitizer, natural bug spray, wipes, hand towels, cornhole, 2 lounge chairs, 4 folding chairs. a kids size picnic table, and fresh drinking water for your pups. There are open areas with sun ☀️, and there is shade all day due to many large trees. Our property is fully secure with 5 to 6 ft fencing. We are located close-in on the Westside of Vancouver one mile from I-5 on 78th Street in West Hazel Dell near Felida. *Seasonal Attention-We have baby bunnies on our property. They usually hide really well, but if your pup finds a baby or a nest, please redirect your pup to try to avoid the bunnies from getting hurt. The blackberries are ripe and yummy right now! Feel free to pick some while you’re here! Thank you!

Cleanliness

99% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

We don’t use any chemicals to protect our land, our healthy little creek, and all of the beautiful birds, bunnies, deer, and other critters who live and visit our spot. So, we have blackberry bushes throughout the property. They grow fast! We will continually cut them back and are committed to working on them regularly. There are little Gardener snakes present that are rarely seen. ** A few guests have reported a bee/yellow jacket ground nest inside the Sniffspot and they have been stung from disturbing the nest. The nest is located in the middle of the property down near the creek in the long grassy area that has little trails. It’s on the far right side of that area near the excavation, if you’re facing the back of the property. 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

Montana's 5 Acre Fully Fenced Private Dog Park In Camas: Closing October 21st for winter.

Closing October 21st for winter. Kiddy pool has a hole in it, so will be unusable until further notice! Please read ALL descriptions (including photos) before entering property. Return the toys and balls to where you found them, to the best of your ability. 5 acres is a lot of ground to cover, and if I have to round everything up after you visit, you will be blocked. Losing a ball or three is no big deal, it happens lol, but not picking up after yourself is rude. Please leave the place as you found it. Don’t knock on my doors, and do not ask me for my phone number. We have 3 separate fields. Black berry bushes are very present in all fields. FIELD 1: Closest to busy road, least suitable for free-roam incase of delivery or neighbor utilizing third gate on easement. I consider this field “the buffer zone”. Best suited for dogs with proper recall skills, or for those who want to hide biodegradable items in the rock piles to be found. Orange flags indicate boundaries with a buffer to prevent trespassing onto neighboring property back into the woods. There are times when I have to leave or enter the property, which I will notify you if this is to happen during your visit. Our three dogs will be heard from this field (from inside of the house). You will find the 2nd gate entrance here, into field 2. Look for the black garbage can, as well as blue kiddy pool to navigate to field 2. FIELD 2: the best field! Our backyard. It is completely fenced in, private, and safe for dogs 15lbs and up- smaller dogs such as our 9lb dog need to wear a device to recall because fencing is large enough for them to escape through. The fencing is approximately 3’ high. Horses can be seen from this field on neighbor’s property, along with their dog, Cooper. It is sloped, which is excellent for exercise! There are trees blocking our house and windows for privacy, easy gate access, and accessible water. There is a nice view of Mt. Hood, and a couple of log benches around the property. I try my best to maintain and refresh a kiddy pool and the water bowl. I strongly recommend against use of field 3 during foggy periods for safety of your pets. Should a dog without proper recall training decide to wander off in field 3, you will have a LOT of ground to cover without much sight distance (on foggy days). Water access is in field 1 by the house, please turn off with hose in “on” position to prevent built-up water pressure in the hose. Field 3: this is an excellent field for dogs with recall skills. Through the first two fields, is field 3, a property long and flat, one which openly borders our neighbor’s property. You must go through the gate at the bottom of field 2 to enter this field. While this field is technically entirely fenced, the entire property is not all ours, so we have marked boundaries using orange flags. Please reference photos for what these orange boundary flags look like. The orange flags indicate hazards along fence line, entrance to bee hives, and boundaries between properties. Cautions: Coyotes frequent this lower field on a weekly basis, so large dogs with proper recall training are advised only. I strongly recommend against use of this field during foggy periods for safety of your pets. Should a dog without proper recall training decide to wander off, you will have a LOT of ground to cover without much sight distance. Also, coyotes tend to be more active during these foggy periods. This field (field 3) is a split property (2 parcels), half ours, half theirs. The neighboring owners have bee hives! Please be mindful of bees, and maintaining general boundaries (see photos of orange flags designating boundary lines). It’s quite rugged, so be mindful of wild animal scat, mole holes, and uneven grass. There is a digging area here too. I have seen coyotes, skunks, deer, owls, a feral cat, and bunnies in this field. Horses and neighbor dog cooper are sometimes visible. Please contact me with any questions!
