Winter Creek Dog Park In San Jose

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

June 22: The parking area to the fully-fenced area have been mowed short. We have tried to eliminate as many foxtails as possible. I am waiting on a tractor service for the hillside - the grass is taller w/ foxtails so recommend avoiding until it is mowed. SUMMER: Recommend AM visits before 10am or evening after 5pm. Our spot is full sun with very limited shade. We are trying to eliminate the foxtails but we have a large property and cannot guarantee we get all of them. **Horses visible in adjacent property occasionally Additionally, guests can enjoy the adjacent hillside which is partially-fenced. You are welcome to enjoy this off-leash or, if you're more comfortable, take a little stroll through the grass. NOTE: There may be foxtails and ticks in this area.

Private swimming hole in the redwoods. Please read all "rules" and all "access instructions" after booking.

Partially Fenced

This is a private, undeveloped, forested spot. If you are interested in this spot, you and your dog should be up for a mini adventure. This spot is not a manicured, backyard park. It is wild and beautiful, and a rare find in this area. THERE IS NO TRASH SERVICE AT THIS FOREST LOCATION. PACK EVERYTHING OUT WITH YOU, INCLUDING DOG POOP BAGGIES. The trail starts at the west (downhill) end of the parking spot, and winds downhill to the creek (there are a couple of switchbacks). The trail from the parking area to the creek is less than 5 minutes long. At the bottom of the trail, is a deck. Beyond the deck is a year-round creek with a swimming hole. There are fish, frogs, newts, and crawdads. All wildlife is protected, so please don't catch or remove them. You may walk up and down along the creek exploring, as long as you turn around before the bend that is downstream. The trail that leads downhill to the creek is intermediate, not for beginners or flip-flops. There should be no poison oak or ticks on the trail, but if you venture off the trail, you may encounter poison oak or ticks. There are blackberry bushes to the sides of the trail that resemble poison oak. There should be no foxtails. You may see wild animals. As a wild spot, you may encounter typical hazards that are present in most local forest trails, such as wildlife, water, and trip-and-fall hazards. This is a private spot, and there should be no other people or dogs during your booking. If you see someone during your booking, please let us know as soon as possible, so that we can take steps to prevent them from trespassing again. There is no lighting at this spot, so if you book before sunrise or after sunset, please bring a headlamp or flashlight. Maximum 2 people per dog. There is no trash collection service at this location, so please pack out any trash. Thank you!

I look forward to welcoming you and your dogs to play and relax. Houses in my neighborhood are close to one another, and I want to respect my neighbors. Sure, dogs bark, but if your dog is a barker and likely to bark constantly throughout the visit, my Sniffspot may not be the best fit.

Dog Heaven 3 Acre Fully Fenced Private Property

Fully Fenced
3 acres

2 people max per reservation. Additional guests can be added by purchasing the “Extra Guest Add-On” for each person. Magical place for dogs and owners. The property is beautiful and interesting to explore and relax with benches throughout. Bring your own pic-nic and enjoy it in the secret garden. Or shoot some hoops in the basketball court. It’s an experience for both dog and owner. No more than 2 people per booking please. Come enjoy 3+ acres of fully fenced area! A true hidden gem with entrance from the awesome San Vincent public hike trail with access to free parking. A small creek with a tiny bit of water from the mountain passes through the property after a few days of rain. If plum trees have fruit feel free to pick some and enjoy! We have three dogs who will be kept indoors and out of sight during your visit. That said, if you’d like some canine company, two of them are happy to socialize. Wilson is our grumpy old male chihuahua mix (about 20 lbs) who may bark at first, then either ignore you or decide to play - it depends on his mood. The other is Ragnar, our 140-lb, 5-year-old Great Pyrenees who firmly believes he’s a giant baby. He loves everyone, drools freely, and will absolutely leave hair on you. Getting into the property is an adventure of its own, just follow the signs. 2 min walk from parking lot. Once you are here you can explore freely and take it all in :) Fun gopher holes they can put their nose in, but please stop your dog from digging! 😅 IMPORTANT: Public parking at entrance of hike trail and entrance to property is via hike trail. Please come prepared! We do not provide bags or trash cans (so please take your trash and dog’s poop with you) we do not provide water either. We tried and the water in the bowls did not stay fresh for long. Restrooms are not available. Note for reactive dogs: We completely understand how important safety is for reactive dogs, and many guests choose our space for that reason. That said, please note that the trail to get to our property is public and not something we can control. You may run into another dog or horse on the public trail. Additionally, at the corner of the western side, there is heavy fencing and dense bushes that act as an additional barrier, but a neighboring dog might be present. Our space itself is secure, fully fenced, and a safe environment. All just for you. No other animals inside the property unless you request a playdate with one of our dogs. We look forward to your visit!

The full lot is 0.3 acres with wildlife bordering majority of the yard - if you’re lucky, wildlife like deer & lots of squirrels + birds can be spotted! I pick up after my dogs on the weekend.
