55Fun get away in the city. The Canine canyon park was easy to find. The stairs are steeper in person but there is a guard rail that made it easy to navigate. There's water, toys, dog treats and there was doggy clean up station on site. Our dogs loved racing up and down the hill! Fernando R.

55Our boys had an absolute blast! Plenty of space to run around, play, and sniff. The hill at Cindyβs property will definitely tire your dogs out. I was concerned that my dogs wouldnβt want to play and just sit around us, but they actually ran around and played with all the different toys available. We canβt wait to be back!! Valery G.

55Lots to explore. Plenty of activities to keep you and your dog entertained. This isn't a long walk kind of place, but if you want to engage in play with your pup... this is the place.Erin B.

55The place is exactly the same as the one on the photo! There are water bowls provided and a water hose to refill the water. My dog only cares about his balls so he didn't really explored the place but overall our time was well spent. Thank you!Karen R.

55Omg this backyard was magical! We brought my 2 year old pitty for her birthday party who is reactive and it was so incredible to see her have her own space to run around with her friends. This place had everything!! Trampoline, balls, sticks, water, shade, a table, plenty of chairs, truly everything and more! We had so much fun and I am eternally grateful to Cindy for letting us borrow her space πππEvelyn H.

55Our pups had so much fun at this Sniffspot! The tea was clean, no foxtails (which is a huge plus and surprisingly hard to come by this time of year) and all set up for us. The pups enjoyed the bubbles, the enrichment puzzle, the toys, and loved the trampoline! We canβt wait to come back! Adrienne Z.

55This is our first time with sniff spot and we couldnβt have asked for a better place. It was clean, lots of area for my 2 active dogs. First time they could just roam and explore on their own without a leash and they loved it. We will return here often. Lindsey F.

55This was my first experience using this app and I wish I wouldβve found it sooner. My dogs had so much fun being able to be off leash and I was worry free of other dogs possibly interrupting their play time. Cindy our host was very responsive and I look forward to booking more time here. The location was so spacious and had many amenities for my fur babies I canβt wait to come back!Emily H.

55This was our first Sniff Spot and weβll definitely be back! Cindyβs place set the bar high - tons of toys, balls, a treat dispenser, and an in-ground trampoline. Birdie loved chasing tennis balls up the hill and will probably be asleep the rest of the day. Thank you, Cindy! :) Maia F.

FAQ about our National City 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.

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.

Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types.
