55A soon as our pups know that are almost to Palmdale Hills, their tails start wagging! They love this place. It's safe, fun and great for dogs who love to run! The hosts have been so kind and helpful.
Their humans love the views and the peacefulness! Lisa B.

55Caren is accommodating, and the venue is clean and fully fenced so we felt assured that our dogs were safe while they ran and played around the area. Caren also has supplies for us, and they’re very well appreciated 😊Maricel P.

55Couldn’t have asked for anything more! The hosts were lovely. Their fully fenced in yard had everything you could want in a dog park. We cant wait to go back. One thing to note there is a private Chan link gate for you to enter through. The GPS took me to their main Iron gate. If you’re looking at the black iron gate look to your right and across the park is the entrance that is open for Sniffspot parking. Reina B.

55Palmhill is absolutely perfect! It’s wide open and our pups had a wonderful time zooming around. There is a covered sitting area with everything you could ever need. Poop bags, wipes, a towel, bug spray and sunscreen. Caren has thought of it all!
Speaking of Caren she is an absolute gem of a host. She met us at the gate with some yummy treats for our doggos and offered to take us on a tour of the property.
I highly recommend taking your pups to this spot. 🐾❤️
One small note: There are several holes, so just take caution when running or playing. 😊Janelle R.

55Caren's property was amazing and she was attentive and gracious. Our two dachshunds loved the wide expanse to roam around safely and leisurely. There is a nice covered area for folks to sit and relax and tons of amenities like wipes, toys, hand sanitizer, water and a phone tripod to take pics and vids! The property is secured and well-maintained. Do wear good shoes and watch your step as you explore to save from stepping in some of the critter holes. Our hour there went too quickly and we're looking forward to taking the doggos back again soon!Mica H.

55This place is what I envisioned as a sniff spot when I first heard about them. They make sure it is secure and safe for your dog to explore and be free. As a reactive dog parent there is no better feeling than to see them happy and free. Thank you! Josey M.

55Beautiful land and AMAZING hosts! I used google maps for GPS and it brought me right to the main gate with zero issues. Caren met us there to show us the way and even brought us a baggie of what looks like homemade dog treats. There were tons of toys & balls, water for my pup, a picnic table & chairs, and stuff like hand sanitizer, sunscreen, bug spray and extra poop bags. We booked for an hour and my dog was laying in the grass absolutely exhausted after 30 minutes- and he’s a one year old golden retriever who isn’t always easy to tire out! Caren even offered us a guided tour around the rest of the property, which we will definitely do the next time we come back! Sooo worth the drive and can’t wait to visit again 🩵Katie D.

FAQ about our Palm Desert fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Palm Desert?
There are 103 fully fenced dog parks in the Palm Desert area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
