55This spot is awesome! I love how there's a steep hill in the back. It's perfect for giving your dogs extra exercise by throwing their toys down for them to fetch, and calling them to run back up. And the little water pond is perfect to cool them off. The property was easy to find, clean, the host was very accommodating, and there were lots of toys for my dogs to okay with. I will definitely be going back! Tracy H.

55Location and view are lovely, as are the hosts (one of which helped me wrangle a little escape artist through the gate I forgot to close!). Watch out for foxtails if your pup likes to go off-roading on the hill. Great spot!Andrea S.

55Our 25 pound rescue pup loved playing in this yard! There were extra toys, ample water and a neat water feature that he loved to hop over. Super quiet neighborhood wish we knew about this place sooner since it’s perfect for dogs learning to explore new and safe places. He really liked sniffing the other dog smells without having to be concerned about meeting any new dogs. There are comfy chairs and shade to sit and watch your pup play, will be back!Kim R.

55We've visited several Sniffspots and this was my pups favorite. The yard was very clean and there was plenty of room for them to run around. They had so much fun splashing in the stream and took full advantage of all the smells. We will definitely visit again. Kathy P.

55I have been to a handful of Sniffspots and this one was by far me and my dogs’ favorite so far! The yard was a dream. My dogs absolutely LOVED the water, toys, and running up and down the hill. With all the space and different surfaces (hay, grass, turf, etc) they couldn’t get enough of all the smells. Also had a nice area for the humans to sit and relax while the dogs played.
The host had amazing hospitality and provided us with clear directions, easy access, drinking water, towels, and so many toys. Emily B.

55This spot was SO fun!! I honestly wasn’t expecting my dog to care much about the water because he hasn’t shown much interest in water yet, but he ended up having an absolute blast. I have a big dog and this was plenty of space for tons of zoomies! We can’t wait to come back! Thank you for sharing your space with us :)Jaydin D.

FAQ about our Carlsbad 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 Carlsbad?
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.
How much do Sniffspot dog water parks cost?
Dog water parks in the Carlsbad area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog water park is Pupper Playspace. The most expensive dog water park is Pupper Playspace. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a dog water park?
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?
