55Such a great visit to Jordan’s oasis! The boys had the best time running around and sniffing everything. We requested the doggy pool which was a huge hit! She also had dog treats, no-rinse shampoo, a towel, and doggy water available! Will definitely be back :) Ali P.

55We loved this yard! My foster dog was very into all the smells and textures. Other dogs could be heard towards the end of our visit (from neighboring yards/streets), but it’s hard to control that. It was a great spot, with several amenities (lots of seating, dog water, poop bags, treats, etc). We will definitely be back!Brandi W.

55Thank you for welcoming a shelter dog into your yard for a few hours away from the shelter. He loved it! You had all the smells and he loved chasing the ball and splashing in the water.Emily H.

55This is fun spot that’s pretty central and easy to get to. My dog had a blast! The only thing was the neighbors’ dogs rushed to the fence and barked for a little bit. I was easily able to redirect my dog, but just to keep in mind if that’s something that would be hard for your dog! Numa D.

55Super great space. Fencing is very secure and it is bigger than some dog parks I’ve been to. I am glad toys and water were both provided.
Be warned the mosquitoes come out after dark but no worse than anywhere else in Austin. Daniel K.

55Great spot! We are here from Florida and our airbnb yard has an unreliable fence. This was exactly what our 2 standard Poodles and Goldendoodle pups needed to burn off some of their energy.Melissa S.

55Our visit was such an amazing experience! I Goldilocks-ed all the many seating options and the porch hammock swing alone is worth coming back for. Jordan was kind enough to let me use her wifi for a bit of work, and then I spent the rest of the peaceful hour watching my pup have so much fun zoomin and sniffin. Definitely check this spot out!Jordan T.

55Nicole did a great job communicating prior to the visit. My boys had a great time at her place it was large and clean with no distractions whatsoever. Nicole was very thoughtful and put out a fresh bowl of water for the boys before we got there. And they definitely needed it because they took advantage of the space and played and ran the majority of the time. We will definitely be back.Marc S.

FAQ about our Austin 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 Austin?
There are 85 small dog parks in the Austin 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.
