55My backyard has a pool so there's not much room for my 90 lb Maverick to run. I'm so happy I picked Max's Gigantic Park because he had room to run off leash, and there also are so many different areas for my dog to explore. The backyard was secure, clean and the host had toys available. There were treats, doggy bags and water. We will be back. Thank you Rachel.Dona C.

55Beautiful and well-maintained place. It feels very safe, which is important for my dog who is easily tempted by wildlife. The fencing is secure. This is a great place to let your dog enjoy some off-leash time in a safe and peaceful environment.Satu K.

55Bear had a lot of fun here! Lots of space for her to run around and plenty of sniffing to be done. The owners provided many toys and balls for her to chase and play with as well. A highly recommended Sniffspot location!Patrick M.

55Wow! Seeing my pups frolic at this wonderful spot literally brought tears to my eyes. It was perfect for my hunting sniffer Codi, a daschund, as well as my ball-loving chi-terrier Nug! I can't wait to bring them back. Thank you to the owner for being so communicative!Nicole M.

55Yard was huge but our big dog kept wanting to see what’s over the 4ft wall or go to the sides of the home which were not visible at all times. We came after it had been light rain weather so they did get quite a bit of dirt and cleaning was more than we would like. I also wish there was a side second fencing from the front entrance gate so we can see our dogs at all times. Nice convenient spot in irvine Nicole K.

55Large backyard with all we needed for a great fetch session. The water bowl was filled, the host provided treats, water, and toys. The yard had some fruit trees that were fun for my dog to sniff. Be sure to use the green trash can as there are two cans with a blue lid, but one is recycling.Emily H.

55My boy was so excited when I pulled up. He knew exactly where we were. Got out of the car and he ran right up to the gate. Hit in the yard and he took off running around. He was so happy. Suzette H.

55We had an AMAZING experience at this beautiful Sniffspot ❤️🥰 We booked for an hour but arrived pretty late, but the owner was incredibly kind and allowed us an additional 15 minutes. Directions to the property were clear and concise, extremely easy to follow! Me & my nervous rescue mutts had an absolute blast in this spacious, fenced-in yard ☀️ in Irvine. There were several toys available for the pups, a giant water bowl filled with fresh water, hand sanitizer, and poop bags too! 💩
We will absolutely be visiting again. This was a beyond lovely experience!!!Emily O.

FAQ About Irvine 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. 4% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Irvine 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 547 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
