CANINE CANYON Park 🐕🐩 - Fully Fenced in Central San Diego | Sniffspot
55This was Lily and Eva’s first time being completely off-leash in their very own private adventure zone — and let me tell you, it was pure doggy joy! 🐾
Lily, our classy basset hound with a nose for everything, was in sniff heaven. Eva, the feisty schnauzer mix, wasted no time zooming around like she just got promoted to “Queen of the Yard.” They both explored every inch of the space like it was their own personal doggy Disneyland.
The open area was perfect, and we loved how clean, secure, and peaceful it felt. Total bonus: the STICK LIBRARY! 🤩📚🌿 Lily tried to smuggle one home in true basset fashion, but we explained the sacred code — “take a stick, leave a stick.” So next time… we’re coming prepared. 😂
Also, shoutout to the convenient water bowls! Hydration = happy hounds. 💦🐶
It was beautiful, amazing, and just plain fun. Can’t wait to come back and let the girls run wild (but politely). 🐕💨Oscar C.

55Ryder had a great time sniffing here. We even tested out the agility equipment, he did pretty good for a couch hippo! I also loved that it is turf since he is allergic to grass. Lori and Todd S.

FAQ About San Diego 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.
