55This is a great spot! Plenty of space, lots of grass, and gophers to hunt for, too. Just be sure to read the parking instructions BEFORE you arrive. The instructions are very clear - if you actually read them!Andy E.

55Our dog Roxy loved this Sniffspot. She is a rescue pit bull boxer mix and has a lot of energy so this was the perfect spot for her to run around and play. This place is spacious so she got plenty of time to run around and play. They had toys for dogs to play with and agility equipment. There is also seating available and trash bins to dispose of doggy bags in. We will definitely be back and are grateful for people opening up their spaces so that dogs can have a great time!

55Beautiful large space! There was a lot of tall grass (compared to my chihuahua) that my dog loved to play in. It was secured and offered toys for the dogs to play with. It was very nice! Maria M.

55Had an emergency water leak at my house and my dogs were not okay with having the repair man inside so we left and got a sniff spot for 2 hours while they repair what they needed to and this spot was open thank goodness at 7:30-9:30pm and was the perfect place to let me boys run around. Thank you so much. Alexandra Z.

FAQ about our Occidental 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.
