55This was our first experience and it was by far the best day for my dogs. I have a senior dog who just loved sniffing and waking around at her own pace without another dog harassing her like at a dog park. My other dog who has endless energy was able to just run the whole time. The best day by far the both of my dogs thank you to the Host , we will be back. Michelle R.

55This spot was great and huuuuge for our (half) afghan hound to stretch his legs! We will definitely be coming back. Was worried about the 4 foot fence because our boy can jump but being that it was stone he wasn’t distracted enough to worry about that. Katherine R.

55Very big yard, plenty of chairs and shade. The dogs loved it! We usually drive inland for sniffspots because the ones around us are so tiny but this one was plenty of space for them! There was also a big bowl of fresh clean water when we got there. Brianna Z.

55Such a large, clean yard for our 3 large dogs to play and explore. The host was well organized and offered many goodies including a clean pool, seating, disposable bags, clean water bowl, treats and toys. Our dogs had a blast.Loreli J.

55Great spot! Lots of room for the pups to run and play. They had so much fun they came home and passed out. Many things for them to sniff and explore. They enjoyed the little pool too. Eldonna F.

55Great open space with a lot of shade for the sunny days. Toys and water were available.
Only downside for my dogs was wildlife, particularly ground squirrels, which activated their prey drive.
We couldn't stay the full time because my dogs were on the cusp of digging up the beautiful yard searching for the squirrels. Nelson C.

55Wonderful space!! My pups loved their time here. Host was kind enough to leave out toys and treats. Very peaceful and fun! Walls and fence were high enough for our big pup making it also feel safe and secure. soraya s.

55It was my first time using Sniffspot and I didn't know what to expect. From the moment we parked, to leaving the spot, everything was spot on (pun intended). The place have a nice doggy pool, and a few toys provided. The bonus is that it's so big that my husky tired herself out running around. That said, while everything is great, there is one corner spot with a shorter wall that my husky could easily jump off to, but thankfully she didn't. Overall, we truly enjoyed this place and we'll come back again.Raje P.

55We decided to have a combined 5th birthday pawty for our June babies, Chip and Koda and invited 7 of their best pup buds! Rachel was very helpful and communicative with everything. The backyard was clean and large enough for all the dogs to roam, sniff and play on the grass. It was a warm day so the kiddie pool and water hose helped tremendously to beat the heat and added extra splashing fun to the party. There were a couple sprinkler attachments to connect to the hose as well if your dog enjoys that. Overall, it was a fun 2 hours and would rent again. This spot is right by the highway so you can really hear the road noise once you step onto the property but it was not a big deal for us and the rest if the party. Thank you Rachel! Jenny N.

55It was a really nice spot! Spacious, clean, and lots of toy to play with. It is right next to a freeway and a bridge so my dog was a little bit reactive towards the noise of people walking by but we couldn't see them. Chiyo Y.

FAQ About Irvine 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.
