55We’ve made visits to West Willow Acres for the last three years to celebrate our dog’s birthday. We wanted her to run free and off leash in the country. The location is more gorgeous every year with amazing fields of beautiful wildflowers and nicely manicured paths to wander. Mandy couldn’t be more gracious and kind. We will continue to come back every year (and hopefully more than that). Thanks Monday for another great birthday for Gertie. Marianne S.

55Amazing spot! Fully fenced and secure for moderately small breeds and larger. A tiny pup may be able to slip through some spots, but my two smalls respected the fencing well. There’s so much room for your dog to stretch out, and the host messages to let me know we could even go into their sunflower field right next to the field! We will absolutely be back for some off leash fun.Abbey J.

55I loved the wide open spaces for my dogs to run and explore. The vegetation along the fence line provided a lot of entertainment and the dogs had a chance to run full speed off leash. Directions to the location were perfect. Rachel B.

FAQ about our Alvarado 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.
