55Very nice property with lots of space. Nearby horses and sheep were distracting to our young dog, but not overly so. Nice sitting area with shade and fresh water for the dogs. Be wary of yellow jackets but no more of a problem here than most of the county in September. Kimberly S.

55Great spot. Our dog loved it! For the first time ever since we rescued him he finally decided to play fetch with the dog toys that were left. I’d like to think Pepper encouraged him to play. Definitely will be coming back to this spot. Jamileth G.

55This was a great park to get away with the dogs. They had a great time running while we relaxed in the shade. Would recommend to anyone wanting to run their furkids. Cassondra H.

Large enough to play catch.Owner left some goodies for dog and myself, which I thought was a nice touch. I will returnCarol P.

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.

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.

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.
