55My dogs and I had such a great time here! Antoni is a great host and he was so kind to walk us around his land since it was our first visit. My pups really enjoyed exploring and splashing in the seasonal pond. So many places to sniff and lovely shaded areas as well as plenty of sun. Looking forward to our next visit!Natalia M.

55Fantastic place! My dogs liked Antoni, the property is fun, varied and securely fenced. My younger dog enjoyed swimming and fetching her disc while my older dog ambled around.
Will definitely return once we're back in the area again.Angela P.

55This was a fabulous spot to spend a few hours with our pups. They loved the varied terrain and spaces. The water station helped beat our pups' thirst and we spent a lovely afternoon under the shade of an oak. Of course, we went during high season for ticks! It took a bit of time to remove them from our pups and ourselves. But we'll be back when the ticks die down somewhat as we so enjoyed walking around this beautiful, peaceful property. Thank you, Antoni!Diane S.

55A beautiful property! It was great to have lots of spaces to explore and shady spots to rest in. Luna loved it! As a heads up, wear shoes with traction - the fields are hilly! Gillian C.

55Second time coming here and Both my dogs had so much fun and enjoyed the spot. Pretty accommodating, we arrived 10mins early and he let us stay the full hour of the scheduled booking. He’s building a new pond and my bulldog had a blast. My German shepherd enjoyed the birds and ran around chasing them( in a friendly way). The grass is Just a little overgrown but my dogs Absolutely loved this spot. Will definitely come back. Jasmer May B.

55We had a great time. The grass is dried out but the hillside above the pond is mowed, and there are mowed paths on the other side. I saw foxtails but it is California in the summer, and I found none on any of our 3 dogs after our excursion. Everything was really clean. Youngest dog had fun fishing tennis ball out of pond now that she is comfortable with water, and it kept her cool.Spent most of our time around the pond and hillside above it but did climb up to the shade under the big eucalyptus tree on the other side. Dry grass is a bit slick so wear good shoes. David L.

55This spot is epic! The host, Antoni, met us upon arrival and was lovely. The space was awesome- it was a hot day and the pond was unexpected and enthusiastically enjoyed. The dogs ran up the grassy hill to chase the ball and then into the water- it was an amazing experience. We will be back!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Julianne W.

55Great spot! We stayed in the fenced hill/pasture. Dogs had a blast running up and down the hill and exploring the shaded areas and rocks. Nice cool breeze in the shaded areas and under the structure. Warning that this time of year it heats up around midday and ticks are abound! We picked a few off our dogs and ourselves. Will definitely visit again and try venturing more.Ashley D.

55Epic spot! We loved every second and looking forward to our next visit. Make sure to do thorough tick checks on everyone and bring towels if your dog likes to swim. There is an option to avoid the pond if that’s your preference.

55Another great visit! As expected, the pond is getting a little low this time of year, and we focused on chasing balls in the field and enjoying the views. Such a pretty spot, with lots of options for shade breaks on a sunny day.David L.

FAQ about our Petaluma 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.
