55This is the perfect location to get my pups out to stretch their legs and enjoy the outdoors! The yard is huge and nicely landscaped. There was water, poop bags for the dogs and everything was fenced in and secure. I was able to bring my laptop and get work done at the same time. Highly recommend! We will be back soon! Thank you for hosting us!Brianna E.

55My dogs had fun sniffing and exploring this backyard! There was nice seating for me to read a book while the dogs ran around and played fetch. There was also alot of tall trees in the backyard so my dogs often fixated on whatever critters were in the trees and tried to hunt them. I will say though that when we went there was a lot of noisy construction going on nearby and my reactive dog was barking at their noises and also some noises/activity in the house. All in all it was a fun visit for them and Rachel was very responsive and accommodating when I was running late, so thank you Rachel!Christine F.

55This was our first ever sniffspot experience and we had a great time! Rachel gave us clear directions and was very responsive. We appreciated that she had water, poop bags, and toys available for our dogs to enjoy. The yard was fully fenced and safe for the dogs to roam freely. We also loved that tall trees provided great privacy and plenty of shade. Our dogs definitely had fun exploring and will be back for another play session soon! Thank you! Erica L.

55Nice size yard with water and toys available. The yard set up was perfect for an afternoon of play/fetch. We enjoyed the amount of a shade as well. My dog wasn’t quite in the playing mood, so we walked around the neighborhood to break things up. The walking trail at the end of the road was very nice. Would recommend. Schyler C.

55This was our first Sniffspot and it was great for my dog! He’s blind, so it’s nice to have an open area where he can explore without bumping into things or hurting himself, and the grassy area of this spot fit the bill. (Added bonus that there weren’t any spiky plants for him to accidentally poke his eyes on.) Directions to access the spot were super clear. Overall a great first experience! Hazel E.

55We had an amazing time. The yard is beautiful, the boys had a lot of fun sniffing and running around.
I felt my boys were totally safe here.
Rachel was very kind, she put water, toys, poopy bags, and even treats out for us.
I’m definitely going back to her .Anna M.

55We enjoyed our visit to this spot, and it's larger than most of what's available in Orange County! Though it's cool and grey today, one of my dogs lounged suggestively in the empty wading pool until I took the hint and put some water in it....so thanks for that, too. :)Eliza R.

FAQ about our Irvine small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Irvine?
There are 211 small dog parks in the Irvine area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
