55This was an awesome place! The perimeter is very well fenced - there are a few teeny tiny gaps where a super small, super determined dog *might* be able to get through, but they clearly maintain the fence very very well. My dog is 45 lbs and a proven escape artist, and I felt safe letting her run here. The neighborhood is pretty quiet, and the views were beautiful! A bonus: even after a full day of rain, the ground was firm. Keats I.

55Such a beautiful meadow, and so much to sniff! The fencing is very secure and has even been reinforced in some areas. Horses are visible but still a ways away. Lots of room to run and lots of things to sniff. No distractions from the car to the spot, and appreciate the garbage cans at the entrance and the clean drinking water on the site. What a beautiful property, thank you for sharing it with us!K G.

55Great spot, very open, lots of room for dogs to run full speed. The sniffspot is easy to locate with well posted signs. There is a dedicated parking spot right across from the spot.
There are neighbor dogs that barked but didn't last for long. The excitement of a big open space and new smells kept my dogs occupied. There were a few cow pies, but they were avoidable, and my dogs largely ignored them.
All in all, a great spot for dogs and the hill makes for some great cardio for the owners, too! We will definitely be booking again.Jessica B.

55Huge open space, green, and fully fenced! Our mini aussie was in love. You will hear dogs and other animals but they are not visible. There are some holes in the ground so be careful if your dog is on the smaller side. All in all, we love the space and will try to make regular visits. Shahryar (Shawn) N.

55Absolutely beautiful hillside pasture that my pup Charli got to romp around and play at today out in south San Jose/Almaden area. Lots of luscious green grass and areas for her to explore while we were there. The hosts were very kind and answered my questions promptly and made their property and the entrance to the hillside easy to find and access. We will definitely be back! ThanksTracy H.

55This is our second time at Hillside Meadow. This place is Amazing! It has plenty of space for sniff around, fresh air, nice view, nature, nature, nature.
During our visit we got to see Peacocks, chickens and horses next door. Koda, my dog got a lot of exercise going up and down the hill.

55Great Sniffspot! Our LGD wore herself out exploring all the smells and climbing to the top of the hill to get an overlook of the area. As others noted, there are a lot of cow patties around, but luckily our girl didn’t care. You can hear the animals on the neighbors’ properties. Kelley K.

55Second visit, just as great as the first. Fantastic space for giant dog breeds to run, practice recalls, and just generally enjoy some time off leash in a safe space. Kristie was very responsive to an accidental near meeting between my dogs and hers. All was OK, mistakes happen, and the quick communication was excellent. Landa R.

55Fantastic, definitely coming back! Easy to find and very close to suburbia, but wonderfully remote with hills and ranches surrounding. Wear good shoes and bring a towel for paws, this is not a manicured city park - it's an amazing doggy playground! My dog loved smelling and exploring everything. She scaled the hill with squirrel holes, ran across the meadow, sniffed through the oak leaves, climbed on the logs, and took in the surrounding scenery. She did get excited when we saw some horses in a neighboring property, and we also saw chicken, geese, and neighborhood dogs - none were able to approach the SniffSpot fence, so we felt very safe and my dog who is quite sensitive was able to work through her excitement on her own! The host is wonderful as well, answered my questions in advance promptly and came to say hi through the fence after we got settled in. There was one spot with soft earth and some digging near the fence, likely wildlife, but of note for anyone with very serious, tiny escape artists and diggers. Overall, 10/10, great place for a dog to just be a dog and we will be back!Clair H.

FAQ about our Castroville fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.

How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
