55Our pack had the absolute best time at this sniff spot! We brought our 8 dogs (5 are ours, 3 fosters) and it was a blast. They immediately jumped into the pond and enjoyed swimming laps and playing fetch. We walked around the whole pond as they explored, played, and rolled around. It was very beautiful with lots of shaded places to relax. Our husky has a metal plate in her leg from an accident and has never really swam in her life. We thought she was unable to or it was too hard for her, but almost right away she hopped in the pond and swam. Our hearts were so full! We are definitely coming back to this amazing sniff spot.

55This place is great! We had everything we needed, including cell reception. It’s a mostly dirt path surrounding the pond. Not much grass, so they did get dirty. But there’s a hose and dog shampoo/conditioner by the entrance/exit. Dogs were so tired out they didn’t seem to mind being hosed off. David was nice, showed us where the poison oak was when we asked. Five stars and two thumbs and four paws up!Leslie P.

55This was a beautiful well-kept space! My dogs and I had such a fun time exploring and fetching in the water. There are some bird wildlife but we didn’t have any issues. It’s fenced all the way around. There were some people (the owners I believe) who walked outside a few times but they didn’t interact or have any issues. Some parts of the water were stinky but that’s a given considering it’s a pond with wildlife. There were a few bones on the ground which my dogs were keen to picking up but it’s such a big space it’s likely from birds or wildlife that ate something. Nothing to be concerned about. It was a very nice spot! I hope to come back in the future :) Crystal M.

55My 3 dogs had a blast, it's pretty and peaceful there, love that it's fenced in so no worries... I have a coonhound that bayed to his heart's content swimming and chasing the poor ducks, he was in heaven howling and I didn't have to worry about bothering anyone ..
Thank you Dave, you were so nice and let me know I could use doggie towels and a hose off ... and there was plenty of parking and room to
turn around a big truck and trailer ... we'll be back 😍😍😍M D.

55My dogs were really happy here! Thanks so much for making our day today 😄
We’ll definitely be back. Since it’s getting hot out, early in the morning is best for us. I especially appreciated that the entire perimeter was well fenced and a nice clean bowl of water was available (and, of course, my dogs loved exploring the pond).Melanie P.

55Perfect for a hot day, the dogs jumped right into the pond and cooled right off. It was great to have some space for them to run around and then to rinse off with the hose was also very helpful. Plenty of shade as well if you just want to hang out and cool off. Julie H.

55First time using this app and could not have chosen a better place. Felt very secluded like we had a private trail to ourselves. Will definitely be back. Michelle P.

55We had an amazing time! Our dogs loved swimming in the pond. Only thing to make note of is to make sure your dogs are people friendly, as the description states, there are occasionally human visitors. Would definitely recommend!Harly B.

FAQ about our El Centro 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. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the El Centro 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 7 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 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.
