55Fantastic place as always! This is my dogβs favorite sniffspot and since the last time we visited, there were a lot of new additions to it. My dog loved the ample space to get her zoomies in while chasing tennis balls whereas us humans loved the shade and comfy chairs. Even our foster dog thoroughly enjoyed such a large yard. He now has a positive association with tennis balls and trampolines. We will be back!Camille D.

55Such a great spot! Beautiful views, seating strategically placed in shade, and a big hill for a dog to run up and down. I also loved the notes with instructions (thanks for saving the world from poop bag plastic with a shovel!) and alllll the tennis balls. Breanna P.

55This is the best sniff spot!! There is a ton of running space, variety of toys, and a few nicely shaded areas. We brought the dog we were sitting but would love to be back with our own pup. We could hear another dog barking nearby but I didnβt see where it was, so be aware if your dog is reactive to that.ellie p.

55Cindy is such a gracious host. I scheduled a reservation for a Tuesday, but thought it was for Monday, and showed up. When she saw me, she came out and I realized my mistake. But she was so kind and welcoming, and got the yard ready quickly so I could keep my booking. Thank you Cindy! You are a gem, and so many dogs benefit from having access to your yard :)Jessica W.

FAQ about our Newport Beach 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 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 Newport Beach area range from $2.0 and $100.0. The least expensive small dog park is Dominique's Private Dog Park In Paramount. The most expensive small dog park is Jonathan's Private Dog Park In Riverside. 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.
