55My Dobermans loved it!! It was their first time at a pond. Taylor’s pond was awesome! Very relaxing for the humans and for the dogs. Place was clean and just a nice relaxing and calm place. We will come back again and highly recommended! Erma W.

55A great rustic Sniffspot. Our dog Mac really enjoyed it. The main highlight of the place is the of course the large pond. Mac isn't much of a water dog but enjoyed dipping his toes in and sniffing all around it! We came at 9:30am in August so was still cool enough for him to enjoy without swimming - nice shade all along one side of the property. It was also very quiet at this time. We will definitely return.

55Such a great spot!! Easy to find and park with the instructions. Loved there was a hose to rinse her off after the pond! It was so beautiful, especially at sunset. My dog had so much fun splashing around for 45 straight minutes. There is a trail around the pond so we walked that a bit. Just a man fishing on the other side which we expected, plenty of space for everyone! :) we will be back!Madison H.

55Love this spot! We are from WV and my dog used to love swimming in ponds and creeks, but isn’t the biggest fan of swimming in salt water so hasn’t gotten to swim much since we moved here. We will definitely back to this sniffspot. Owner is super friendly! Emily K.

55We were supposed to visit yesterday, but for some reason, I was sure that I had booked the visit for today. So, unfortunately we missed yesterday's visit. I messaged the host, and he graciously allowed us to visit today instead. This spot and the host have consistently exceeded our expectations! We will keep coming back Adelina C.

55Easier to find than you'd think if you don't panic after pulling off Poway road onto beeler road and read directions well. It's exactly where it says it is on Google maps too.
We had a blast, the dogs had a blast. There was tons to look at and smell. Water play was great! And there's a hose handy to rinse everyone off after. The lake is beautiful with lily pads, docks and cool wild life.
Thanks again! Regina J.

55We had an AMAZING time here. This place is HUGE! Perfect for my 2 Australian shepherds that are full of energy. They jumped in the water, ran all over the place, and played with toys. It was very hard to get one of my dogs in the car. He didn't want to leave paradise, LOL. We'll be back soon!Mireya D.

55Dave’s spot is so beautiful! Our dogs absolutely loved swimming all around the large lake and alongside us as we rode on the kayaks. There are people that come and go but they were very nice and welcoming. Dogs can also be heard but not seen! There is so much land for the dogs to run on and docks to jump off of. Dave is very communicative and friendly. We loved this SNIFFSPOT and would highly recommend!!Victoria A.

55This was our 1st visit to Creekside/Poway. It's safe to say Gunner had a great time. He's a Yellow Labrador, and there isn't a doubt he's a water dog. He spent the entire hour in the water. Everything was as advertised.

55My first time there so I walked my dogs around the pond on their leashes so I could see the area first.
Once satisfied, I let them go and they had a blast!
There was one or two people there, but they were far enough away that my dogs didn't pay them much attention. Tasha and Spencer were far too interested in running and getting wet! We're definitely coming back! Very happy dogs! Thank you!Colleen M.

55Took our pup and foster pup for a visit, and they had a blast. Tried out the water, sprinted off leash to their hearts content and smelled all the smells. There were campers? staying and hanging out near the water so we had to leash them when passing the south end to be respectful but other than that it was pure bliss for these babiesJordyn N.

FAQ About Poway 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Poway area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 206 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 273 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
