55This spot was so much fun, my dogs had a blast! Just beware that there are a lot of foxtails around the area so check your dogs paws after leaving to make sure none got stuck. We will definitely be coming back! Megan C.

55Was a great stretch of land! The sitting area as well as rest of lot was extremely clean and sitting area was clean with a pee free patch of turn under shade! There is a small hole under the fence opening behind the seated area that small dogs can definitely fit under so just be mindful if hire bringing your smaller pups. there was also an ant hill with large red ants(fire ants) so be careful with that and there’s various small holes but it’s to be expected as it’s a little more rural. Overall I highly recommend for any runners it’s a beautiful spot!Briana B.

55We will never be tired of driving our boy from the very very south of the border just to see how happy he gets once we get here. We really enjoy bringing our reactive mali here so he can safely play and enjoy his day as much as he can 🐕! This is definitely his favorite spot. Yesenia M.

FAQ About Valley Center 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.
