55Amazing! I was the first guest and honestly, if the host did not tell me I would not have guessed that. This place is very clean, there’s treats and doggie toys and sunblock as well as doggie bags & water for your pups. When you enter the gate, there’s a few feet before you get to the 2nd gate that leads you to the backyard (great area for leashing and unleashing plus extra security). We will be back.Celeste O.

55Fun, safe, pleasant. This one is perfect for doggies who like to explore. Our dogs had fun and the different level terraces meant a great adventure! The fencing was secure. It was a very soothing afternoon. It’s getting hot here in San Diego and if we go back, it’ll probably be in the morning or in the later part of the day when it’s a little cooler. But I’d say that for probably any sniffspot this time of year.Dale Peter D.

55This is one of my dog's favorite spots. We had a lovely time as always. Clean, beautiful, and relaxing, with lots of interesting topography for my doggo to go crazy sniffing. My dog is reactive, and I've never seen or heard any dogs nearby, which is so reassuring. We love it here.Connie S.

FAQ About La Mesa 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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the La Mesa 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 163 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 216 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
