55This was my first sniffspot visit and it was perfect. A large private fenced backyard with area to sit and relax. My dog enjoyed smelling all the greenery and discovering the new area. Large enough to play catch.Owner left some goodies for dog and myself, which I thought was a nice touch. I will returnCarol P.

55This is the first time i was out there in the morning and it was just awesome! The field is mowed and no stickers, either. This is just a great place and my two retrievers love it Elise G.

55So much space to run around! It was a hot day but the breeze under the shaded roof made it quite comfortable. A fantastic spot for dogs that want to romp or those like mine that love endless sniff opportunities. Randi B.

55Lovely local park nestled in a quiet neighborhood. The host was easy to contact, responsive, and helpful as there are a few important details about finding the entrance, ect, that he will message you about once you book. There are nearby trees that offer shade in the main play area, a shade structure with seating for people, a water spout, poop bag stations, gated entry, and plenty of toys for fetch. My older pup rested in the shade, and my border collie and husky had fun sprinting around their private park. Would be a lovely spot to bring a friend and watch the pups play. We will definitely come by again. Hannah D.

55We came for a second time in a week because we loved this spot so much! I brought my kiddos too and they loved the swing! We brought our 2 year old German Shepard and 5 months old lab mix who is too young and reactive for a dog park. They ran around for an hour and had so much fun! Brianna S.

55Most days we go to the park or out to the beach, he loves to meet and play with other dogs! For the days I need a little stillness and a break from people (who are lovely, but to whom I am overexposed in my work life), this is the perfect place. He can run and play and chase toys and I can be quiet. Clean, accessible, safe, shady, water, tennis balls, and the dog has fun—totally worth it Michael T.

55Lovely park with water available and a fantastic shade structure. I scheduled my visit on a hot day so my dogs preferred the shade, but we will definitely try again on a cool morning. We were so appreciative that the owners installed a shade structure and water station though! Hannah D.

55What an awesome Sniffspot! 2 acres of flat land to run, fetch, hang out. My Border Collie had a great time, as did I. Totally fenced, great gazebo with lots of chairs, new poop bags all over for you to use, water hose and bowls. Extra bonus.. we visited on a Sunday morning, were greeted by 2 hot air balloons. Leigh greeted us, super nice. Gave us the lay of the land, and we were off playing. Will definitely return!Brigid M.

55This was our first sniff spot experience and it was amazing!! We met with a friend and their dog who is working on socialization and not fully ready for a busy dog park. The yard was a perfect size for our two large dogs to chase each other and there was plenty of shade! We can’t want to come back! Brianna S.

55Awesome Sniffspot!! My 2y/o Border Collie ran and chased the ball almost the whole time. Very clean organized and well thought out property. The ground is almost all flat, no weeds or the dreaded foxtails I could see. It looks like it is mowed often!
Great gazebo for us humans, containers of dog toys, comfy chairs to sit in. There is a whole poop station. With bags, scoopers, hand sanitizer and a great waste basket, not near the human seating. Water stations as well.
Great directions, easy to find and very peaceful right in the middle of a busy neighborhood. I will definitely be back!! Thank you Brigid M.

FAQ About Santa Rosa 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.
