55Great spot!! Will definitely be back again. The host was very friendly and the area is a ball throwing haven. My dog promptly lost his ball touring the grass but there were some extras under the gazebo which was a really nice touch. Giulianna C.

55This is our go-to spot and with the patches of longer grass and flowers it's so lovely right now. Lots of sniffs! Simon and his BFF Joy have amazing playdates here.
For others planning to use the spot keep in mind there are horses hanging out in the pastures/turn out next door. They are very chill and used to dogs but occasionally our dogs get a little too fascinated. It's good for recall practice.. Heather W.

55Another great day for our two shepherds and me!! It was clean, there’s a nice place to sit in the shade, and they had a great ball launcher there too. I also really enjoyed the view sitting there as the pups run around.Lynette B.

55Fabulous environment. 2 acres was perfect in size for our dog to run and train in. A wonderful pathway cut short around the circumference and short growth in the center. Secure fencing, great spot for owners to sit and watch, and dog to relax (ha ha ha in our case). Water provided, shaded pergola with two chairs. We will be returning!!Kathleen R.

55Great place to take your pups. Well maintained & beautiful. The owners are very nice & came out to say ‘hello’ & answer any questions when we arrived. We have 3 very small dogs & while it was fully fenced, there were a few spots where they could have gotten out if unsupervised - Not an issue if your dog is over 20lbs. Great find!!Kat F.

55Nice big open space for Gracie (our pit bull mix breed) who is 1 year and 3.5 weeks old today.
The host was kind enough to open the gate for us. I had missed the house number and turned into wrong lot so had to turn around and that’s when they flagged me down to show me where to pull into.
There’s a shaded area for us humans to watch our dog from, and there is water there under the same area.
I don’t think Gracie knew what to do with all the open space because she’s so used to being confined to the home so I would say this was a treat for her / to be outside and to be able to run and smell and discover whatever her nose led her to.
Gracie was very relaxed and I did confirm with the host to see if there would be other dogs scheduled at the same time (which I was concerned about since we are still trying to train her in the basics) and they had said no and so we had the entire 2 acres to ourselves.
One hour flew by pretty quickly and I think Gracie was tired half way through, as evidenced by her just laying in the shade instead of running around.
It was a warm day so maybe that had an effect on her not wanting to run around as much as I thought she would.
I think all dogs that are new to any new area will be cautious at first before they allow themselves to feel safe and to roam around.
This is a safe space for big dogs like Gracie, and it’s fenced off so you don’t have to worry about losing her.
I highly recommend this spot if you have dogs that just need that open space to run and get their energy out.
There was a blue ball that I found that Gracie loved to chase after - that was really the only time I could get her to run by triggering her instinct to chase after something.
It’s also a beautiful location.
We will try to come back and a schedule something maybe later in the day when it isn’t so warm to see if she responds better or maybe we need to take her early in the morning.
This is my first experience with this app as it was recommended by our dog trainer - Penny Locke.
She said we need to work on Gracie’s basics first before we introduce her to the world as she is a rescue animal that we adopted from the humane society. Vinh N.

There was a beautiful fence, a nice patio area with chairs to rest after running around, fresh running water to refill the water bowls, and a box full of balls and toys. We highly recommend this sniff spot! The owners are friendly and came to introduce themselves. Tucker, Addie and Waylan give 4 paws each!!Lisa H.

FAQ about our Hidden Valley Lake 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.

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.
