55This was a great spot for us!! It’s close to our house, easy to access (signs and great instructions), and the yard was great. I went at 10 am and there was a lot of shade in the area in the back where we played fetch. We will be back for sure!! Kristen A.

55The space was very nice. The host was thoughtful when putting out toys to make sure they were the right size for bigger dogs not to choke on. The pups had a great time! Kristina C.

55This spot was delightful! Completely fenced off, no holes a small dog could get through, no view to the outside street for reactive dogs. We brought our own treats a toys but super sweet to see the host had various treats and different size toys for every dogs. Area was spacious, big enough for any dog to get their zoomies out. Thanks so much for a stress free outing for us! Coming back again for sure! Olivia V.

55This place was perfect for my 3 pugs to get some sniffs in. The blind guy was free to roam or bask in the sun without worrying about him falling down a hill or anything. There were toys, water, some shade and some sun. Access was pretty easy but I'm a shorty so reaching over the fence was a little hard for me to get the latch but I got it! There was a little sign to greet us. There was a cool swing for me to sit in but the pugs were mad because they couldn't join as they'd fall through the cracks. Yard is pretty secure, but my little one could fit his head at least to spy on the neighbor under the fence but it would have been a tight fit for him to crawl under. Overall, a nice sniff spot!

55There was a little welcome sign with my dogs name written on it. It was very heartwarming right off the bat, and the yard is perfectly fenced in and well maintained. There is a variety of toys and treats to choose from if you don't bring your own. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you again. Can't recommend enough Zach D.

55Huge space with agility equipment and lots of shade options. The area is completely fenced in and there are no neighboring dogs. Parking was easy and finding it was also super easy (look for the mailbox with a Snoopy sticker). My dog thoroughly enjoyed it during the hour time we were there this afternoon!Camille D.

FAQ about our El Centro small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in El Centro?
There are 3 small dog parks in the El Centro area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?
Small dog parks in the El Centro area range from $4.0 and $10.0. The least expensive small dog park is Dawns Private Dog Park In Boulevard. The most expensive small dog park is Rooney and Desi's Sniff 'n' Play Yard. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
