55Our two dogs LOVED this yard. This was their first sniff spot and it was a great experience. Owners had left treats for dogs and for the adults, fresh water for dogs, and signs with our dogs names that really made us feel welcome. Love the clovers in the grass and just had a great Sunday morning run with the dogs! They had many, many zoomies in all that space. Janelle B.

55ABSOLUTELY PERFECT spot to hang out, enjoy the great weather and toss a ball for the pup! The host left drinks for humans and canines as well as some dog treats. There were a few neighborhood dogs barking but they were on the other side of the brick wall. My dog did not go crazy because she couldn't see the other dogs, so for us, it worked well!Heidi B.

55Jo was such a great hostess and provided a perfect space for our visit! We loved taking advantage of some of the photo ops and there was plenty of space for the dogs to run around and explore. The yard was well maintained and felt comfortable letting them roam without any concern. Everything we needed was easily accessible as well! Can’t wait to come back.Sarah M.

55My boy Gaara and I had so much fun! It was a really great space to have him roam, sniff, and run around in. If you have a dog-reactive dog, this place was pretty quiet. We loved it!Karen P.

55My dog loved hunting for crickets & running around in the grass! It’s fairly dark but we brought a glow in the dark ball for the pups to chase, which worked out perfectly. Plenty of water in a nice big bowl & even treats (plus cold waters for the humans too!) We can’t wait to come back & play again!Annie S.

FAQ about our Sun City small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Sun City?
There are 112 small dog parks in the Sun City area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
