55I recently visited Pawsome Dog Park with my husky, Roxie, and we had an amazing time! Roxie had an absolute blast running around and playing in the kiddie pool. The facilities are well-maintained and provide a safe, fun environment for dogs to socialize and play. Roxie was so happy and exhausted after just 30 minutes of play, which is a testament to how engaging and enjoyable the park is. Huge shoutout and thanks to Pawsome Dog Park for giving us this wonderful opportunity to bond. We can't wait to come back!Jensyn P.

55We had a great time ! I have a Doberman who loves to run around and play ball. The whole property is fenced which made me feel safe for him. There were toys , water, and waste bags. Great experience! Jennifer V.

Our dogs had a blast running around and exploring all the nooks and crannies.

55The space was perfect for my Zoey! She’s a chihuahua/cocker-spaniel mix that has long legs who likes to run! There’s two beautiful horses near by that were so peaceful to watch! The dog area is fully fenced with no gaps so you don’t have to worry if you have escape artists. Will definitely be back!Irene M.

55My dog Kona, and I had a fantastic experience in this Sniffspot. My 60-pound half-beagle, half-Husky, Kona had plenty of space to run around freely and play. The spot was well-equipped with a variety of toys, including balls and frisbees, as well as agility training equipment for her to enjoy. There were also chairs available for us to sit and for our belongings. Water is also available.
If it's too hot, there is a covered shed inside where you can escape the sun. The property also features surrounding trees that provide ample shade, and the horses grazing nearby add to the beauty of the area. We truly enjoyed our time at this Sniffspot and plan to return again soon. Don't forget to bring poop bags. I also did not see a designated garbage bin on site. Angeline M.

55People who open up their property for others to enjoy are always great people. We’re from Hollister so even though we get that glimpse of farm life, we definitely do not have a farm in our backyard for the dogs! It’s a farm, so note you shouldn’t be expecting a modern dog park with turf or maintained grass. You’re in a natural environment so expect your pups to get a little dirty but nothing a wipe down can’t fix :) Our kids had a blast running around the fenced area and would occasionally lay under the shade. Chuck it launcher/balls were there in case you forget your own toys. Poop bags and a disposal bin was present. We know they’re working on adding lots of cool things to the park this year so can’t wait to come back! Michelle and her girlfriend were kind people :) Isaac R.

55Nice open space. The host was very gracious and it was a peaceful place to let the dogs run around. They started to notice there were other farm animals around and they were curious, but it was far enough away that they got right back to playing and having fun exploring their space. Yvonne C.

55This was our first time using sniffspot, and we couldn’t have made a better choice of spot to check out! Communication was friendly and prompt, facilities were clean and secure, and they had toys, water, an area for digging, some agility jumps, and a kiddie pool set up in the dog run. My dogs couldn’t stop smiling, and neither could I, watching them. This was so great, will definitely be back! Lucienne A.

55Another successful trip! We just keep coming back to this Sniffspot. It’s quiet and the presence of the horses add some tranquility to the experience. My dog Kona went a little crazy with the new toys and was able to persuade her grandpa to play fetch. Angeline M.

55This was our first time at this Sniffspot and it was great! It’s fully fenced but the doggies can see other animal but not so close that it bothered Ollie. There’s toys, chairs, water and a shade in case it gets too hot. Michele obviously loves animals and truly wants the dogs go be dogs. Very happy with this place. Kim C.

55This is probably our 7th or 8th time visiting this Sniffspot, and we just keep coming back. Not only does my dog have an incredible time, but my parents also enjoy this beautiful, serene property. They too get to exercise and enjoy the fresh air. Angeline M.

FAQ about our Gilroy 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.
