55Amazing spot with so many options to engage your pups!
I’m impressed by the sheer amount of sweat investment to create this space. We only played in the pool and it was a great way to introduce our 7 month old puppy to water… Toys and towels are available too !
Be aware it gets very warm and sunny - the pool area doesn’t have a lot of shade so definitely come prepared Debbie L.

55This place is awesome! Well-kept and clean, perfect for my three curious and clumsy puppies! We added the splash pad, which was so cute and fun. Even without the add-ons there were tons of things for the pups to do like the agility course and a big basket of toys. This was our first sniff spot experience and definitely won’t be our last. Plus the place is adorable and made for really good pics! Sharlyne K.

55A pawesome adventure! We have one super friendly dog and one highly reactive dog. Normally, we take the friendly dog to a dog park on Sundays and have to leave the other at home. That changes now! So happy to have found this spot through Sniffspot! We can bring both our dogs out here for some fun. There is SO much to do and explore. The owner has truly thought of everything from towels to speakers to misters. We will definitely be back! Max & Shilan P.

55My dog loved sniffing and exploring this fabulous spot. There were plenty of shady places for humans and dogs to lounge around and relax. A dog who enjoys playing fetch could really get a great workout running up and down the hill. We’re looking forward to visiting again. Carol C.

55Minnie had such a good time here. She loved the uphill part and demanded me to throw the chuck it ball up the hill. Lots of fun spots for her to sniff and explore. It felt safe and clean, and just a good time overall. We’ll definitely be coming back! 🐾Shania N.

55Powder had the BEST time. He'd never used a splash pad and enjoyed it. Communication was excellent. The yard was really nice. I did hear other dogs, but Powder is deaf so no big deal to us. He could, however, smell them. That's just part of having a deafy, though. We'll definitely be back soon. Thank you! Kristi D.

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.
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. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Diego 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 160 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 212 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.
