55My dogs loved this huge open space - it was also handy to have water, trash, and plenty of places to sit available. My dogs are very small and we had no problems with the fence/gate. The area is also VERY clean!Beverly C.

55Great spot for the dogs to run around. We brought toys, but they weren’t needed! There’s plenty there. Also there was a box of stuff for selfies! So cute!Holly W.

55Cool, shady yard with enough room for my dogs to play and sniff to their hearts' content. Also, it has green grass in the summer - this Sniff Spot was a great treat!Carolyn P.

55Cute, shady, + grassy SniffSpot. Perfect neighborhood spot, for those days when you can't take your pup walking on the hot concrete. Bring a little blanket to sit on under one of the many trees. **Enter at the short gate to the left of the front door. I made the mistake of entering to the right of the garage and walked all the way around the dwelling before finding the grassy area I was expecting. My two pups and I had a lovely afternoon here.

55A very nice place. Lovely grass and shade. Basically as per photos. (Except the one of gravel, wonder if that is a different space.)Wonderful to have a fenced area to play ball and to have pup just sniff around. Will go again.Heather H.

55Nice, clean shady yard. Fun place to throw the ball for my dog. Very nice space. Brought my own water. There was a table to set equipment but no place to sit. Would go again Janis B.

55This is my first-ever SniffSpot visit! It was over 90F today but this yard was an oasis! It was cool & shady, with soft grass and huge trees. Zero foxtails! There was a table for me to put my bag & my dog's extra toys too, which was very helpful! The fence is very secure; there is a shorter section. If your dog is escape-oriented there is a small open area near the deck where a dog could escape. My dog was way more into treats, toys and the cool shade. I will definitely book again! Carolyn P.

55The photos are not updated. The back main area of the yard is all gravel no grass and a concrete patch. We didn't mind but it was confusing since the profile photos I think are of the front lawn area. Overall my dogs had a good time sniffing around and playing at the location. Nice views from the backyard.Angelica R.

55Very lovely yard! It is a little small for a large dog, but it was adequate for our needs (training). Big pluses: It's in the shade, it's flat, it's in a quiet location and easily accessible, it's clean, and it's a nice grassy area. We will be visiting again for sure.Marta F.

55Wonderful yard. Our dogs had a great time running around and sniffing. There is a gap under the deck that we had been concerned about, but it looks like the area that leads to is also fences. Wasn’t an issue. Darryl T.

FAQ About Orinda 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. 2% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Orinda 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 254 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 384 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.
