55My dogs has a blast!! They loved jumping in the water. Plenty of toys and water was provided. My only tip is to make sure to wear close toes shoes since there are some ant piles. Paola R.

55Nice big yard with plenty of shade. Our dogs had a blast running around. They also enjoyed lounging in the kiddie pool the hosts provide. We plan to come back!
We did note that there was a lot of hedge parsley in the yard that had been allowed to go to seed, so if you have a long-coated dog you might need to do a lot of combing afterward to get the stickers out.Taylor J.

55Perfect area for dogs who may be living in apartments like ours. Really feels like you are out in the woods but still so central. Lots of areas to sniff and room to play. Poop bags provided. Would recommend! Nat M.

55This spot is huge and very shady! Easy access and a big water bowl. It’s quiet and lots of stuff to sniff for the pup. My dog did find a broken piece of plastic/glass towards one of the fat fences, but honestly, this type of detritus is Lyla S.

Huge yard in central Austin, great for play! | Sniffspot
55Great first experience using Sniffspot. Fence was secure with no gaps big enough for my tiny dog (8 lbs). Really nice and shaded. We loved the hammock and view of the stream. Celena M.

55Absolutely incredible spot! A very unique space with much to check out, lots of room to run around, and an amazing water feature. I kept my dog on a long lead because she’s a flight risk and it’s not 100% fenced in but I didn’t mind at all because the space is so cool and was just so fun to explore with my dog. We will definitely be coming here all the time!Sasha G.

55Jo’s backyard is ideal for a sniffspot.. our dog LOVED it!
So much space to run freely and play chase.. plenty of dog smells around.
She left out a nice big bowl of water and an assortment of toys including a ball launcher that our pup really enjoyed 😄
Very clean yard.. didn’t see any gaps in the fence or any obvious hazards.
Will be coming back!Alex C.

55Maisy had a great time! She left the kiddie pool out for us, which Maisy absolutely loved. Also had plenty of space for fetch! Maisy is mildly reactive, but the fence was tall and private enough for her to be unbothered by nearby sounds. Will be back!Bailey M.

55This was my first time using SniffSpots and I feel like now the bar is so high. My dog had such a good time, was able to swim and play and explore around unbothered by other dogs. My dog is a bit reactive so we avoid dogs parks and she recently stopped enjoying long walks with me so I’ve been looking for something else to help her stay active. This property was great with plenty of running space and spots to sniff out. There were frisbees, balls, rope toys, etc to choose from and a water jug with bowls for us to use. There was a clear space for my pup to climb into the water and swim around. The grass was a bit long in some spots like other reviewers mentioned but this really was no big deal, there’s plenty of freshly mowed/short grass areas to run around in. Absolutely will be back Taylor S.

FAQ About Austin 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. 8% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Austin area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 217 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 291 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.
