Top Public & Private Dog Parks in Escondido, CA

Awesome new terrain for the fur babies! A little steep in some areas for humans so some good sneakers is a must!

This place was beautiful! Has some amazing views and honestly feels like a little slice of the wild. We went right at 8am and saw a coyote in the distance who meandered off after a while. The place is rather steep and hilly which is a great workout for the pups and there is some ice plant for the sniffs. It was a great experience and the pups loved it!

We had another amazing time! Indie brought her besties, and she had so much fun showing them around. There was also endless running! Both will sleep well today!

We had an absolutely great experience at this Sniffspot. Getting there was a breeze, it was easy to find, and the parking was super convenient, which made the whole visit even smoother. The place itself is very spacious, giving Milo plenty of room to run around and explore. He loves to sniff around in cracks, crevices, and bushes, and there were plenty of those for him to investigate. I did notice one cactus that I was a bit concerned about, but it never ended up being an issue. There are plenty of spots to sit down, lots of shade, and easy access to water, which made the whole experience comfortable for both of us. Overall, it was a fantastic visit and I definitely see us coming back eventually!

Great space! Lots of room to run and sniff. It is on a bit of a hill with some goffer spots so pay attention. The side gate to the owners yard on the shorter fence side wasn't latched and one of my dogs figured that out. After I figured it out (I thought she'd magically turned into a jumper 😅) it was fine. Painted a rock and got the wiggles out of the pups. 10/10.

This is a great place for pups to run off leash. Clean and secure with shade covering. We will be back!

This is an amazing Sniffspot location. Thanks to the owners for sharing your backyard. My dog loved it. They got one of the best work-outs they have had in a long time running up and down the hill and exploring the rocks and boulders. It was a perfect Escondido hide-away!

This place was amazing. There’s water for the pups that is fresh, plenty of seating area, you can literally park right next to the entrance, and it is securely fenced off. My two pups had a lot of fun. I appreciate the hand sanitizer too! Everything you need, even soda for sale and free water. I will note that the neighbors were out and talk pretty loud (not an issue for me at all) but if your pup barks at strangers there’s a possibility that if they are out your pup will get a little distracted.

Rob has such a great spot on his hands! The yard is spacious, and has a ton of variety when it comes to landscaping and there is just so much going on (in a good way). There are giant boulders to climb on and around, get in between to sniff around and explore. Massive bushes and shrubbery that my dog would chase lizards through. The space is just incredible. You have to see it for yourself. It’s also really quiet and peaceful, which made for a super chill visit (for the humans). A couple disclaimers, we did come later in the evening, between 5 and 7 PM, and there were times where you got swarmed by little bugs, nothing bit us or hurt, just kind of annoying. There were also a few coyotes wandering in the neighbors yard, that stocked our dog through the fence. Our dog quickly scared them off, but just a warning in case you have a smaller dog, or one that isn’t as dense and doesn’t just charge at wild life. But I would give it a 10/10 and we will definitely be coming back.

The Artsy Dog Place is fantastic! The space is huge, open, and perfect for dogs that love to run. Tim had the best time chasing his herding ball with plenty of space and zero obstacles to get in the way. I also really appreciated how thoughtful the setup was there were several water bowls placed around and plenty of shaded areas to cool off. It was exactly what we were looking for, and we’ll definitely be back again!

Very cute spot with plenty of space for my pups to roam. It’s on a bit of a slope, so it’ll be a good exercise to tire your pups out. There is one side of the property with a shorter fence, maybe about 4ft tall, so if your dog is a jumper, just be aware of that. There was a big orange water jug available to fill up a tub of cool water for your pup, which was really nice to have available. Just be cautious and double check your pups fur and paws, as we did find quite a few foxtails on one of our pups. The host was also accommodating and flexible with our booking time, which was incredibly nice of her to do. I would recommend this spot to others and we will definitely visit again!

Amazing place, fully fenced dog park with toys, cool water for the doggos and poop bags. There are even drinks for sale for a dollar. Hugh recommend!

Had the best time! This was our dogs first time in a pool and they loved it. Great space and felt nice and breezy. Nice host and felt comfortable to be there. Definitely want to go back!

This is the perfect spot for dogs to play and or exercise. It is nestled on a full acre that is so serene and. peaceful. Water for dogs and for their humans is available and seating is provided. Beautiful atmosphere.

Dave was a very kind host. My dog had a blast - he loved chasing balls in his yard and cooling off in the pool. Had lots of shaded areas too if needed. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, perfect for a reactive dog. We would definitely go back!

This was such a fun spot for my dogs to run and explore. They loved climbing the rocks and the views are amazing!

Both you and your dog will get an exercise haha super hilly but my dog loved it! For our first time using SniffSpot and this location, the directions were super clear and straightforward.

Dave was an amazing host, the property was beautiful and the dogs had a lot of fun! could see/hear the dogs inside every once and awhile but didnt bother my dogs too much, and Dave was super nice even though my husky was crying the whole time and was super accommodating

This is a beautiful place! We’ve been here twice already and I plan on going back too :) my dogs loved exploring the area, chasing lizards, and walking on the rocks haha highly recommend!

What a beautiful spot! I would be weary of letting athletic escape artists off leash since there are a couple boulders that could easily be launch pads to jump over the fence. My pup had such a wonderful time exploring though. And the view was unbelievable!
