55This spot is fantastic. I have a very excitable doggo who wants to 'play' with the chickens, and he cried like a banshee on our way from the parking to the spot. The spot is a good way away from the chickens, which is helpful.Tina D.

55Very happy with our visit. The spot was very clean. We didn't utilize the water stations, chairs, etc. but they were appreciated. This was the first spot that we've visited that provided a table/wooden platform where we could put down our stuff! Benny had a great time running around and playing fetch. We'll definitely be back!Alissa L.

55We absolutely loved our visit! I brought a couple toys and we didn’t even touch them because the spot was so interesting for exploring and sniffing. Both my pup & I left muddy and happy!Alissa S.

55Our dogs had the best time ever. The property is gorgeous and plenty of space to explore for the hour. Water, trash cans, tire swing, creek, woods, open pasture. Non stop fun even in the rain! Will be back again very soon! Jessica D.

55Very fun Sniffspot! My pup loved exploring the wooded areas and running around in the open field. The trail up to the field is pretty muddy, so I’d recommend wearing hiking shoes or boots. We’ll definitely be back! Camille F.

55Beautiful property! I kept my dog on a leash because he was very interested in the chickens he saw as we entered. He’s an anxious runner and has a strong prey drive so I think he would have squeezed through the gate and caused trouble. Most dogs would probably be contained just fine! Stephanie D.

55My puppy and I had a great visit. A truly special place. A good mix of wooded area for exploring and open grass for running around. Directions and signage was spot on. The host has done a great job of making this a fun and safe place. We’ll be back! Tami T.

55This is a fantastic spot. The parking and entrance instructions were very clear, we found it easily. The (very cute) farm animals are right near the entrance, you can’t avoid walking past them. Luckily my dogs were unfazed, and the mini cows are adorable. All 5 acres are accessible, the wooded parts are easy to wander through. The clearing at the top of the hill was a lovely open space to romp in. From what I saw, all fencing was secure. I’ll definitely go back. I’m so grateful to people who share their land like this.

55Our new puppy got to see a cow for the first time. My partner and I did some good hide and seek recall work with Suki. She found a stick and had her best game of fetch yet! Shalan B.

55I loved this sniffspot! Mix of different terrains and no shortage of spots for my pup to explore. Definitely think it’s a bit more treacherous than some other spots, so some things worth noting: not all of the fencing feels entirely secure, the water doesn’t look like water you’d want your dog to jump in (in case you have a pup who can’t resist, I might avoid this spot), and there’s a good amount of sticker bushes and hard to navigate hilly woods area.

55Our dogs loved this Sniffspot! A bit muddy when you first enter so follow their instructions to wear boots/shoes that can get dirty. A very cute cow was visible when you enter as well. It has a really large open area and some wooded area - our 2 pups had a blast exploring and playing fetch! Harmony L.

FAQ about our Vashon dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Vashon?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
