55Great visit, especially for our first SniffSpot!
Excellent communication from host. Ample street parking. Easy to find.
Safe, clean yard. Perfect for our medium-sized dog but not recommended for small dogs, as there are a few boards missing and gaps under the fence.
We’ll be back!Shana O.

55Me and my dogs come here several times a week, they adore it. It is a very convenient sniff spot and you are able to use the basketball hoop. Kelli P.

55So convenient for us! The yard was smaller than most places but my dogs are not huge, so they had room to run around. They had been troopers in the car as I ran errands so this was their reward. I came home with 2 tired, happy pups! As someone else mentioned, if you have a small escape artist, this would not be the place as there are a couple areas a small dog could get through. Mine are big enough that this was not a problem but I still kept a watchful eye.Sarah P.

55Thank you so much Ben! Our pups had a BLAST and we might have to make a thing out of this! If you have a dog who need private play time off leash, this is the way to go! Vivian G.

55Medium-sized residential backyard- perfect for a quick visit to get my dogs a bit of exercise. Very easy to find. A neighborhood dog could be heard a couple times but not seen (good for my distracted pups). Easy peasy! Jayne O.

55Yard was excellent and perfect for our needs. Allowed us to see off a litter of 4 to new homes after getting a little controlled playtime not at a dog park. Communicates well and flexible given the circumstances. Iakopo S.

55AirBuds was great. Its exactly what we were looking for for our pit furbaby. We get judged a lot at dog parks and people wont let their dogs play with our boy so We felt very comfortable letting him run around at airbuds. No distractions amd had the whole yard to himself. we are definiety booking again. He loved the sticks and twigs. Fencing was perfect and place was clean. Thank you Airbuds ! Nora V.

55Ben's House has a nice high fence which is good for dogs who are easily distracted. No other people or animals were visible. The yard was very clean and I had no issues with debris or junk in the yard (one review mentioned this). There has been discussion of the fence having gaps. For my two 50 lb dogs, the gap under one of the gates would not be an issue, but if you had a smaller dog, especially a super fast & sneaky pupper, it may be worth considering.
Two issues to consider:
The property is on the smaller side, so if you have big dogs really needing to run, this may not be ideal. However if you have smaller dogs, or you want to work on obedience exercises it's a nice option.
The rock pathway to the entry gate is up a small incline. If you are unsteady on your feet (as I am) or walk with assistance (i.e. a cane) it will feel a bit steep. Jayne O.

FAQ about our Fircrest 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Fircrest 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 269 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 46 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.
