55We really, really love this place that has everything. Swimming, trails, fields, piles of wood and things to sniff, beautiful scenery! My girl even found some animal bones she was bananas about, haha. The banks of the pond have deep mud so my cautious doggo isn’t really able to get in. More ambitious swimmers could though. Watch out for critters (we saw a cat wandering) and probably not great if your dog is people-reactive since there are some humans working around the place, not all behind fences. The dogs were behind chain-link fences (and we got a courtesy warning on the way in) near the water, but the place is so huge we were able to use a lead just in that area and still roam far from there off-leash. My doggo has medium-good recall but it’s isolated enough that I didn’t worry much about the partial fencing. A little tricky to find, but so worth it. And the people are super nice and helpful. So grateful that y’all share your space with pups! Thank you!Mimi L.

55Maddie is an excellent host! I appreciated that she provided so much water (for both dogs and humans), toys, poop bags, and bug spray for us during our visit. The property is spacious and my dogs enjoyed being able to stretch their legs and run around.Amy R.

55Loved our visit to Alyssa’s! The lawn was mowed and open enough for all the zoomies. The yard had such a cool collection of chairs & things for you and your dog to enjoy. There was also fresh water, poop bags, and some toys to use as well. We will definitely be back!! Sydney S.

55This spot has quickly become my favorite spot to take my boys. They absolutely love walking along the water and the trimmed areas are perfect for fetch or playing soccer. I usually only book for an hour at a time, but I always book two here and we can't get enough! Hosts are ABSOLUTELY lovely :) Dean S.

55Nice, secluded spot with lots of space for dogs to run. My dog had a great time jumping in the long grass near the river. It's great to have a big spot like this so close-in! Kelly F.

55My two dogs had a blast here! Great spot -- pretty centrally located, sizable piece of land with water access. I was a little concerned about the entrance not being fenced. The property however is big enough so once we walked down the hill away from the driveway, I knew we'd be fine. We'll be back. Lisa S.

55It's great spot ...lots of area to run around. The hosts were very kind to have lots of water in a cooler and other nick-nacks. Water access could have been better but no complaints! Would definitely return. CHINTAN P.

55A beautiful and giant property my dog had so much fun exploring! Lots of room for zoomies, things to look at, and shady spots to hang. We especially loved the access to the river. We will be back! Sydney H.

55My pup had a blast here! Tons of good sniffs and lots of room to run and explore. I did keep a drag leash long line on her because the fencing was low in some areas, but it wasn’t an issue. Fun spot! Erin R.

55The most lovely place to spend a morning! Truly a little oasis in east Austin - my dogs and I enjoyed running around the property and lake edge. What a truly gorgeous view. It was well stocked with water and poop bags and plenty of seating. I loved the unique decorations. The area is pretty secluded by fencing as well as natural barriers and we really enjoyed the solitude. 12/10 and will be back. Sarah B.

55Nice private spot with plenty of space for the pups to run around. It has a small area by the river to cool off if your dog likes to swim. Lots of seating with shade for the humans. I would wear some pants as some of the grassy areas can get a little high, but you can avoid the areas if you need. The water access was a little tough for my small older dog (not a complaint, just a heads up for other small/old dogs!) Really loved the spot and all the decorations! Would definitely return!

55Wow! I can't believe this was only 20 minutes from us. We didn't see or hear any people or dogs at all, it isn't fully fenced but the visibility of most of the neighbors is really obscured. We did see people kayaking on the river, but I think that's to be expected with any property on a large lake or river. We'll definitely be coming back. The host was also nice enough to let us bring out cat (leashed) so that was really cool, and he enjoyed it as well.Rachel H.

FAQ about our Del Valle 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.
