55Beautiful space! My dog Noodle loved exploring, running around, and playing with the toys in the yard. We went early morning and there weren’t any people or dogs in sight. The fence was plenty sturdy for my very active 30 pound puppy.
We didn’t see any foxtails in the yard (thank you!), but Noodle did have one foxtail and one burr in her fur at the end of the hour, so it’s probably worth checking at the end of your visit.Suzanne V.

55My 1yo boy is a bit scared of unfamiliar surfaces especially with other dogs around so letting him explore this backyard just by himself for 20 min was incredible. We will definitely come up. Marina K.

55This spot continues to be fantastic and we love coming here with our dog. As noted by someone else, there is a gap under the fence that a determined small dog (ours included) could wiggle through. We blocked it off with a soil screen and a brick, which is sufficient as long as we're monitoring her. As you enter the yard, if you look right, the gap is under the part of the fence that adjoins the small front yard of the property. FWIW our dog would not have noticed this if left to her own devices; it was only me poking at it that got her to be interested in what was going on and gave her the idea she should investigate more closely.Melissa L.

55We had a blast running up and down the yard! The highlight for my pup was finding hidden toys inside bushes! There was a dog across the fence barking during part of our stay, but we took advantage of this and did recall training (with distraction 😂). The only cautionary note is that we found a couple foxtails near the lemon tree and fence. Regardless, we would absolutely come back and love that the proceeds go to SPCA! Monica X.

55A true gem for my husky and I to spend time safely and bond together. The yard was easy to park at and access with plenty of toys and water available. My husky had a blast running and sniffing freely while I had a nice coffee and enjoyed the scenery. Thank you for sharing this spot with the community!Jensyn P.

55We can’t go to Fort Funston cuz my dog is a bit selective, so this was like our own private Fort Funston. My dog’s tail didn’t stop wagging the whole time, and there were so many nooks and crannies to explore. We played fetch and I was careful where I threw the ball as there are various concrete steps and platforms interspersed and my dog goes hard ! Gate is easy to open. We were here at 6pm for an hour and didn’t see a dog or human soul. It is dry and mostly dirt covering at this time of year. My dog was dusty and happy when we left. Not a poo in sight and lots of toys and balls thrown around if you forget your own. We’ll be back ! Linda K.

55Oh my goodness, Nina's spot is heaven sent! It’s beautiful, spacious, fully fenced, safe, and so peaceful. It’s truly life-changing for my pup to have a secure place to run, explore, and play. We’re so grateful to have found this spot, and the fact that we’re indirectly contributing to the ASPCA thanks to Nina’s generosity is the icing on the cake. We can't wait to come back many more times!Rene M.

55Large and spacious backyard with plenty of trees and shrubbery for your dog to wander around and sniff. The space was clean and had several dog toys scattered around for your dog to place with. The neighbor to the right with a balcony overlooking the backyard has a dog that barks at yours. It didn’t cause any issues for me, but wanted to flag that for any reactive dog owners who might be interested. Overall, my dog and I had a great time sitting outside and enjoying the warm weather.

55The space was exactly as described. We went at 11 am on a Wednesday and it was super quiet. We heard some dogs, buses and construction in the distance but nothing that bothered my noise sensitive dog. I appreciated the variety of toys. My guy is a shredder so we did destroy a couple toys but I brought some of his old tennis balls to trade. The fence on one side is low and has slats so if your dog is a jumper you might want to have your dog on a leash drag. There were some foxtails and other pokeys in the dirt (probably just leftover from weeds or being blown in) but my dog has short fur so it was easy to spot them and pick them off. It was a super cool space and I will definitely be back!Catherine C.

FAQ about our San Francisco 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Francisco 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 121 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 23 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.
