55We enjoyed our first visit to this Sniffspot! The yard is big enough for us to throw the ball and our dog to get some running in. There is a little kiddie pool which our dog loved laying down in in between chasing the ball. Bring a towel! There were balls and a Chuckit also. A chair under shade. Backs up to some pretty open space. The host has signs for where to park and where to enter etc which makes it nice and easy. My dog got pretty dirty between the dirt and the pool water but he was so happy it was definitely worth it. We'll be back!Melissa D.

55We had such a wonderful time here. Plenty of toys to throw for your dog and a variety of life vests for those dogs that need a little extra support/confidence. The backyard is a beautiful space and the pool was clean. I also appreciated the others supplies available like poop bags. We will definitely be back again! Meera P.

55Incredible spot - very thoughtfully set up with plenty of doggy stuff from toys to life jackets to a fresh bowl of water. Unfortunately neither of my pups wanted to do much swimming, but we still had a great time. Couldn’t recommend any more highly! 💗Courtney F.

55I have a retriever who LOVES swimming. I have been looking for a pool in the area for a while. I recently found Maxies pool and took my dog, it was so much fun! The pool was clean. Even though I brought my dog’s toys they had stocked on plenty more to choose from. I also liked that they had swimming vests for dogs.
My dog had a blast! Seeing her happy and splashing around made me happy too. I totally recommend this place to anyone with a dog who loves swimming. It's a super fun way to spend time together. I am definitely going to frequent this place. Lavanya A.

55Me and my two golden retrievers had an amazing time. We were very grateful for the toys and life jackets available. This was the first time my dogs have ever swam in a pool and after some warming up they had a blast as did I. The only thing I would have changed was to be here for a longer amount of time!!
Thank you for opening your home up to allow this fun time for my furry babies! We will definitely be back!ADRIANNA R.

55This is a great sniff spot, especially for the summer! Before arrival Hongjun provided us with detailed instructions such as parking, entrance, pre-brushing furry dogs, noise, etc. The place was very clean and also had all of the necessary pool items available for guests to use.
My two dogs had a blast! It was their first time swimming so they were pretty scared at first, but they got a hang of it. We’re very excited to visit this sniff spot again! Samantha K.

FAQ about our Ben Lomond 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ben Lomond 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 57 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 11 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.
