55Creekside dog park is the best! My two labradors spend the entire time in the water (which is clean) and the trail around the park provides a rustic and quiet setting. Easy gate access, wash off station, and peaceful.Renee D.

55Brought my four huskies here. And as normally always concerned with my dogs getting out because they’re a flight risk and having four of them together plus my son‘s girlfriends Sam Lloyd can be sketchy at best. Place was really big awesome layout tons of features. dogs went crazy. I’ve never seen him run so far in my life. No way for them to get out lots of places for them to venture and check out. Definitely coming back.Steven R.

55What a blast! Getting there was easy and self-service check in was nice. It’s a beautiful park, and the water was clean (there were fish everywhere, which is a great sign). Kyle F.

55Lovely place for the dogs to run and play! Water is great, although neither of our dogs did more than go in belly deep. Cool and quiet early Saturday morning!Linda O.

55So great to release my mini Aussie from her leash to play in the water, roll in the dirt and just be free and happy! It was even better that she had an energetic doggy friend for her to play with. The sprayer hose provided was much appreciated!Kathy D.

55Wonderful safe spot for dogs to run free, sniff around, swim in the pond! My dog doesn't like the water, but she was pretty interested in the pond. We'll go back for sure.Jeanne P.

55I’ve been looking for a fenced in area with water, where I could see if my high energy boy, Jack was a water dog. I was not disappointed!! He had so much fun discovering he could swim in the pond, chase fish, fetch balls, and explore the large fenced in property. There’s even a bathroom, for those that can’t venture too far from one. Will definitely go again. anna i.

55Fantastic place for my adventure pups to explore. Instructions for entry were clear and easy to follow while at the site. There were humans in and out of the SniffSpot but were friendly and respectful towards dogs.Hillary H.

55This is an amazing property, and we would definitely return! The host was welcoming and friendly, and the pond was full of life - frogs, fish, dragonflies, and lots of birds - with all kinds of terrain for our dog to play on. Loved the shady sitting spots too.Madeleine K.

55Paradise! I struggled to find it at first, but man, what a great spot. Beautiful property and the owner is really nice. My dog has arthritis and the vet recommended swimming. When we got home after swimming, he was walking so much better. This will definitely be part of our routine going forward! Lots of amenities- dock, chairs, toys, and water hose to wash off. A true gem! Abigail E.

FAQ About Poway 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?

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 203 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
