55I brought my dog here for the 3rd time and he had a blast as usual. My dog likes scaling hillsides and playing with sticks in the shallow parts of the stream. It was 89 degrees today and I couldn’t have asked for a better play area for my boy. Naomi T.

55Definitely a little steep of a hike to get down if you’re not ready for it! The second time was easier since we knew what we were doing, and made sure to wear shoes with a little grip. The areas are clearly marked for your spot, and the water is clear and refreshing. My girls love being able to run around and swim a little. Nothing is so deep it’s worrisome, either. Bring your own poop bags and throw them out in town or you’ll need to take them home with you. Amanda P.

55Our pups had a blast. My pup can be reactive towards new dogs at parks and trails so finding this spot for him to have a private place was really awesome. The scenery is beautiful. They enjoyed the creek and exploring. The platform and fire pit was great. We will definitely be back often. It was worth every dollar. Christine S.

55Our girl had the time of her life here! She is ball obsessed so we usually opt for a field where she can chase the ball to her hearts content, however, we recently realized she loves water so we've taken her to a couple of pools to swim but there isn't much sniffing going on. This place was the best of both worlds! She was able to jump in the water after balls or frisbees plus she sniffed the heck out of everything there. She fell asleep on the way home which has NEVER happened! LOL It's a little far from where we live so I'm not sure of when our next visit would be but it's a great, great spot! The host was very communicative with the directions and they were very simple to follow. Thanks for hosting such a great spot!Kate G.

55This was a lovely spot to explore with my pup! It was quiet and serene with LOTS of space for adventuring. My dog had a blast sniffing around, swimming for his ball in the water, picking up lots of sticks, and relaxing on the deck. We will definitely be back!Cynthia T.

55It was a glorious day and my dog had a blast. I should have worn better clothes for the pool as I had to wade in up to my hips to get my dog’s ball which she was screaming that she couldn’t reach, and I got soaked. Next time, I’ll bring waterproof shoes and swimmers. We had a blast. Gorgeous secluded private spot. Easier to find than expected. (Very easy). My GPS took me right there Linda K.

55This spot was amazing for our dog. He’s been a little reactive to other dogs lately. So it was awesome that he was able to run around without being distracted by other dogs and people. He’s also not been a fan of water so it was perfect for him to be able to choose how deep he wants to go. Lots of different terrain here, from hills, rocks, logs, and water. This visit might have been the best day of his life. Can’t wait to go back!David S.

55 Beautiful spot with so much for everyone’s pup(s) to explore, sniff, romp and run around! This is our 2nd time and it is such a relaxing location that I feel is so safe to have my pup Charli off leash living her best life. Highly recommended. Good hiking shoes or boots are suggested especially if you plan on traversing up and down the creek with your pup.Tracy H.

FAQ About Woodside 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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Woodside 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 205 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 315 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.
