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.

55My friends and I brought our six dogs to Taylor’s pond. They had the time of their lives, chasing squirrels, jumping into the pond, and running around. In addition, our kids had just as much fun playing with the boats and zipline. We will back for sure. Jennifer R.

55Taylor's Pond is the perfect spot for our dog to explore off leash with fencing in place. We did multiple laps around the pond and our dog had a blast sniffing everything. I would definitely bring her back along with her other pup friends.Jenny D.

55Great property! Our two Aussies could not get enough. Very nice for humans too—lovely walk around the lake and plenty of places to sit, if desired. Water station was handy. Could hear another dog and a rooster and saw a person outside the fenceline—but the property is large enough that these were not distractions at all. We will be back!Tamara S.

55Plenty of parking. The dogs had a great time racing around the pond. We brought life vests for the pups, but they had a few for use if you forgot yours. Lots of balls & sticks for fetch. Would definitely book this one again!Cindy R.

55We rented for 2 hours and it was just the perfect amount of time. We had all sorts of variety of dogs with us and it was perfect for all of them!! The puppies loved running around and playing in the grass and dirt. The older dogs loved jumping off the dock, and the pond had so many balls and was supplied with other toys at the front. A really cute border collie (I think the homeowners dog) broke into our little dog fiesta and tried to join but a little while later his owner noticed and got him back in. This was no problem for us, however there are also a few people you might see around aswell so this might not be suitable for dogs who have issues with either. The interactions were very limited and caused us no personal issues. Everyone was friendly. It was a great time, so much space, and the dogs were exhausted after. The pricing is also done very fairly for all the amenities there.cassie b.

55Super clean and my son (9) and 2 dogs really got a kick out of walking loops around the pond. East to find and well-marked. The area was fenced off nicely. Would definitely return. Kristen G.

55Instructions were easy to follow. The property is beautiful and interesting. I love how close it is to my house. My 3 dogs had a great time checking it all out.
The only thing that could have made it better is if there were a few other dogs for them to run around with. My dogs are super friendly and love meeting new friends. I think they were a little confused about having this huge gorgeous property all to themselves! We had fun and will definitely be back! Michelle F.

55This spot was definitely one of the best!!!!! It was super safe for dogs and they couldn’t get out. There were people living there, who were all super friendly. It had swings, rock walls and a zipline!!!! They also provided towels, balls, water and books. The pond was beautiful and had clear water, we also saw a blue heron. Overall this was an amazing spot for my daughter, dogs and me!!!!!Cory S.

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?

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 Poway 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 203 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
