55The host was very nice and the signs she had were very helpful. We chose this place in particular because she gives out doggy life vests (she has all sizes it seems). Pool wasn’t heated which was okay for us because we were teaching our golden retriever puppy how to swim and eventually, want to take her the lake/ beach to swim! Added, the pool has long steps which helped our girl get used to it easier too.Mikayla V.

55My 8 month old pup and I had a great time at this spot! The host was super communicative and accommodating. My dog liked the toys the host provided better than mine! The place was clean, fenced it perfectly, and the pool has a shallow and deep end! We will definitely be coming back! Jale G.

55Awesome pool setup, the steps are nice and wide for dogs to find, without blocking the end where they can jump in. Nice turf potty area off to one side. My dog had a blast!Sara S.

FAQ About Mission Viejo 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 Mission Viejo 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 534 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 641 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.
