55This place is great. It’s super secure, didn’t have to worry about my reactive dog at all - we could just relax and play! The dogs had a great time, and wore themselves out playing fetch in the pool.
There was a dog in the garage area that barked a little when we left (very briefly), but didn’t hear it at all while we were in the pool.
Highly recommend!Tess P.

55If you have a big dog that loves to play, this is the best spot. I have a 90lb husky/Akita mix, and he had the time of his life. I think this was his first time swimming and he did great! There are steps in the pool to teach how to safely get in and out. There’s toys and life jackets and treats and everything your doggy would need. One of the best memories just made here with my boy for sure. Highly recommend!Alana L.

55This was my first visit to this pool sniff spot. Very well fenced. Pool clean and water temperature comfortable. Non slip pads next to edge of pool greatly appreciated. My pup loved the floating pool toys. But she was a bit apprehensive getting in all the way off the top step. Even though she will swim at the beach. The dog swim vest on site helped and was greatly appreciated. I will definitely bring my pooch back here for more swim lessons. Amenities were great- water, toys, vests, chairs, shade and great potty spots for our pups. Our hour went by quickly. Cindy B.

55Pool area and water are very clean, considering that dogs use it often:) My two pups and I, esp my senior dog (13yrs) enjoyed the pool and patio. There are toys, water for dogs and humans, and poop bags provided. I was able to enjoy the warm pool water with my senior dog, whose favorite activity is swimming. She is not able to go in the ocean anymore, so this was a wonderful find!Candice S.

FAQ about our Alameda dog water parks
Are dog water 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Alameda?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water 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 dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training 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.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
