55Great place to run the dogs, though recently I’ve been seeing a lot of poop left by other dogs using this area. My dog rolled in the grass and got poop smeared all over him the other day. It was disgusting. I now have to check the area and pickup after other dogs to avoid this happening again. Please be a responsible dog owner and pick up after your dog / check the area before leaving. Nicole J.

55Great place. Clean and big space. My girls loved running and chasing each other. Even you have a barking dog, it will not bother anyone since it is in the industrial area. I brought my agility jumps and trained. We loved this place and will be back!Yukari N.

55Good area to run around! Turf field that is pretty flat. Some tennis balls around to throw.
Bring your own water and be aware that there is no shade. Was initially concerned with dried weeds at end of fence - but they weren’t foxtails - so not a problem.
Key thing is large flat area that your dog can run free and chase balls, etc - with no other dogs to distract, etc!Dan D.

55Exactly as expected! Open field, some balls for our pup to play with. Clear instructions on where to park, super easy to get in.
Just be aware there’s not much shade. We came midday and our pup got too hot, so we left halfway, but we had a good time!Kate L.

55Space was super easy to find (check out their YouTube video if you get lost). Perfect size, clean, and parking was awesome. We brought our own toys but there were a couple balls/toys left in the yard, so if you forgot yours at home I think there was back up. I would definitely recommend to family and friends. We will be back! Gina C.

55It was the perfect spot to bring your dog of any size. It was nice to have a large flat area for your dog to run and be able to play with them! We brought a couple of balls to play soccer/keep away from the dog, so it was nice to be able to play with him vs just throwing a tennis ball around like you would have to do in other places. Remember to bring a water bowl with you, but there is a water spigot on the building on the opposite side of the sniff spot. Allie E.

55We had a great time! This place felt very secure and it’s pretty big! My shepherd had lots of room for a solid game of fetch and my Manchester Terrier wasn’t able to escape thanks to excellent fencing.
Note that the ground is turf and the area is uncovered so could get very hot in the heat of summer. Jenna R.

55Our first SniffSpot session and it was great. Field was big and clean, with easy access and parking. There are various industrial-type noises (trucks, machines, other businesses) surrounding the field, but I think that helps with socialization/exposure. Sharleen R.

FAQ About Santa Clara 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. 3% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Santa Clara area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 208 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
