55This was such a great spot for humans and dogs! It was quiet with plenty of seating in the shade, a great view, balls to throw, and a bowl of cool water. Nice equipment for pet waste collection. Highly recommend, thank you for sharing this spot!Bridget E.

55So we were late to our appt due to taking a wrong turn and getting a bit lost, but once we were there, it was easy to enter and exit.
This place was a great find for our new 6 month old Doberman rescue to burn some of that energy. The spot was exactly as pictures showed and had all the things they listed.
This is our first time visiting one of these spots, and we'll definitely come back again.
There were some landscape workers just beyond this enclosure doing yard work on the next property over, which our dog ended up barking at, but was towards the end of our short visit.
Overall I'd say definitely give this place a try, give yourself some extra time to get there though. Christine H.

55Super cute space with many things for the pups to look at! Also has a lot of seating to sit back and watch as the dogs run around and play. We were given cold refreshments for our allotted time and water bowls for the dogs. Had a great time sitting and chatting with my friend under the sun while our dogs were playing with each other!Mary G.

55Yes. There are people. Not many. But a few.
Yes. It’s still an AWESOME space for pups! My adventurous dog, Valentina, took off and was so so happy at arrival. Her brother, Rocky (the timid one), was also super happy and just pranced after his sister.
My three legged dog, Pepper - AKA Pep 3 Step - was able to find plenty of spots to just hang and watch.
10/10 recommend!Lorelei F.

55We enjoyed this Sniffspot so much! It’s a serene and zen yard. I enjoyed sitting in the shade relaxing as my dog roamed around and sniffed all the spots. The host was fabulous with her communication and where to park, etc! Super easy to find and get acquainted. The host even had a sparking water over ice waiting for me, how amazing! We were comfortable and enjoyed our hour of play so much! Thanks again, we will be back. Marissa T.

FAQ About Vista 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 Vista 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 297 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 374 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.
