55This was a return visit for us, and because of the recent rain the yard was beautifully green! Tangie had such a good time running through it, fun to watc. The yard is safe, fencing is secure, no major obstacles. They have set up a little stand with dog treats, pet wipes, and toys. If possible, perhaps a larger water bowl, only because long nosed dogs like ours don’t like to be confined. Regardless, we had a wonderful time, and will be back after the rain.Elys N.

55the grass is plentiful after all the rain we’ve had. a lot of room to run and explore. the only issue i had was with some older piles of poop that hadn’t been picked up by previous people. otherwise, we had a great time and will definitely be back!Connie C.

55It’s incredibly kind of the owners to open this spacious yard to people with dogs. A very large, open space to run and play, along with balls, treats and poop bags if needed. Check the gate has latched when you arrive; it requires a little extra pull. I would recommend the owner reinforce the chicken wire along the back fence… it has curled up in some spots leaving quite a gap. It was okay for my 28 pound dog but a smaller dog could potentially wiggle under it. Janice H.

55I love this yard! I have show dogs (Great Danes) and the yard is a perfect size. I have to build and maintain muscle in my dogs and the slope is perfect for doing that. Teri F.

55I live in a condo and don't have a yard, so Cathy's yard was a great first experience to bring my German Shepard. He had a great time chasing the ball and they have treats as well. It's so much better than going to a dog park because of the privacy and not having to worry about him catching anything from another dog. I will definitely be back!Kent B.

55First time here, and my dogs had a blast! They were free to run full speed, and up the hill. There were also bushes that my bigger dog hurdled, thinking it was an obstacle course :)
They had a cart with dog toys and plenty of balls, along with a bowl of water. Will definitely be back!

55A lovely clean backyard in a super quiet neighborhood! The owner left water, toys, and a jar of treats for us which was a nice touch. There is some intermittent barking from neighbor dogs, so just a heads up for any extra sensitive pups!Liv H.

Hunny & Sisters Private Dog Water Park In Lake Forest | Sniffspot
55Hunny & sisters private dog water park is the second sniffspot location that I’ve visited. There is a visible sign on the gate to let the fur parents know which gate to go through. The pool water is a comfortable temperature to get a relief from our Southern California weather. The pool and yard is well maintained, there are no gaps in the fence and I felt comfortable letting my dog run around in the yard. Our host left bottled water on ice for our enjoyment. There was chairs under an umbrella to get relief from the sun. We will definitely come back and I already booked three more swim dates in the next few weeks. Dave D.

FAQ about our Lake Forest 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 Lake Forest 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 352 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 48 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.
