55This park was perfect! Very well-fenced, lots of grass, clean, with plenty of water and all the equipment you could need for a great day in case you forget anything at home. They also just put out a set of dog shoes for any who might want/need them!
The location is breathtaking btw - rolling green hills, lots of wildlife (if you look carefully), and it was super peaceful with some cute farm noises. Very grateful for an awesome park my pup can enjoy safely, and we can't wait to be back.
Oh also - if you plan to spend a bit longer, you can use the bathrooms at Briones Park Staging Area, though there may be an entrance fee to get in. Marisa G.

55Really great spot! Me and my husband and especially our dogs had a great time! Lots to sniff and explore in addition to open space for running. My senior went on a slow sniff adventure while my younger dogs ran to their hearts content. Be aware that the are horse around the property. All secured and the spot is fenced so it’s secure as well but if your dogs have a big prey drive it’s something to keep in mind. My kids paid them no mind at all and we had a fabulous time!
We will be back! Roxanne S.

55A nice large, clean, quiet space which was perfect for our training session. There was a sign prominently posted to direct where the entry was. I checked the latch on the gate and it was sufficient on locking to prevent any escapes.Bruce W.

FAQ about our Hercules 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.
