55Shady and serene. Our dogs had a lot of fun! Plenty of space to run, but small enough to be manageable. It was a safe spot and pleasant.
I’d moved a little ladder that was there to help keep our dogs in the main area, but I forgot to return it to its place before we left. My mistake. Dale Peter D.

55Our rescue doesn’t know how to play so her version of “letting loose” is sniffing every inch of space and chasing the birds with no leash stopping her so this spot was perfect! Literally no way for her to get out even in the deepest corners of the fence LOL! Great spot, all of us loved it! Kathryn V.

55The best Sniffspot! Completely dedicated to dogs. Everything there catered to enrichment and fun. Even had misters for hot days but we didn’t need it as the breeze coming up from the canyon felt great. My dogs loved it. We will be back! Pamela K.

55Absolutely wonderful! The best that we have visited! The spot was obviously very thoughtfully created. There are so many different features for the dogs that mine couldn’t decide what they wanted to focus on. I have two huskies that are actually very good listeners and today was the first time that I have experienced that truly stubborn selective hearing. From parking to the spot itself, everything by was great!Tarn A.

55Great Sniffspot space, we used to introduce my dog and a friends dog in neutral territory that wasn’t our respective homes. Space has lots of toys, water provided and shade. There is a kennel as mentioned in the listing and dogs were present during our visit but our dogs didn’t seem to care about them. Would recommend! Jennifer M.

55I love this sniff spot. It has so many things for the dogs to explore. Great size to run and play fetch. My dog explored the whole area, and even climbed up and down the stairs to the top of the playhouse.
We'll most definitely be back. Alexa F.

55Perfect size for my pups. Multiple different “turns” and pathways in the yard for them to explore. Loved the extra touch of putting their names on the welcome sign, the toys for big and small dogs, and treats and wipes laid out. Clean and shady. Truly thought of everything for a great visit! Will definitely be back. Pamela K.

55A great little Sniffspot. Nice and quiet. Had a great time. Our senior dog, Mac, is not into playing with toys so I knew those would be wasted on him! However, he definitely loved the trampoline and exploring all the different areas. The misters were a very welcome touch for dog and humans. Lara F.

FAQ About San Diego 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.
