55Great spot! Perfect size for playing fetch, clean, and relatively private (didn’t see or hear any dogs). Earlier in the morning there was plenty of shade from neighboring buildings and treesRyan M.

55This is a great big, open space for pups to run around in! One thing to note is that there is no shade at all, and the artificial grass seems to get pretty hot. So, book your time slots accordingly, as we head into the summer months.Elizabeth V.

55Just as advertised. Our dogs had a great time. Did a little walk around because our small dog can sometimes get through fences, and it was secure for small dogs (6lb chihuahua). Will be back! Arielle E.

55This was our 1st Sniffspot experience and it was a success! Our dogs enjoyed their play time so much. They feel so free running around. It was quiet, safe and no disturbance during our visit. The fence is secured, the turf is clean. We didnt smell anything funky. There are some chairs and trash can inside. Bring your own water. I like the Bay Area banner, its so cool for photos. Janice B.

55The space is great. Parking couldn’t be better. There were some toys there too. We went at 10:30AM but it was already starting to heat up - but there was a little shade and chairs too. Our dog spent most of the time just sniffing around but she seemed happy.Shelly M.

55Great spot for dogs to run around and play fetch! The turf was clean and didn't have any weird odors. There were some noises due to construction going on nearby (fixing power lines), but I wouldn't expect it to be like this typically. Samantha K.

55This was a lovely space for my pup to run around. My dog had a great time getting all the sniffs in - she was exhausted after! The turf did heat up quite a bit as it was a warm day, but overall we had a great time! Heidi R.

55Clean and just as pictured, with no dog park smell!! My only complaint was that it was rather loud on the morning that my doggo and I went (there seemed to be construction and heavy machinery going on next door); however, I think I may have gotten unlucky with my chosen date. :)Kristen D.

55The spot is a pretty large field. We arrived at ~6.30 half the field was under shades so my dog has plenty of space to run around. She was happy after the visit! :D F X.

55Great place to practice training since my dog is not ready to be off leash. Turf did get hot. It was a hot day. Steve did let me know about that and to check it. We were able to make it work for us for what we wanted to do. Lynne O.

55Took both the dogs here and made use of the full hour- had a great time. Long enough to throw with the Chuck It, open enough that I always had sight of the dogs. One loves to sniff and would usually find a million things to eat, but not so here. Clean spot with little to nothing for my dog to put in her mouth. Marika H.

55The yard area is clean and large, good for fetch and running around. Just be mindful about time of day, there isn't shade. We had a good time. I was familiar with the location since my dog had taken obedience there before.Miryam S.

55I brought my highly reactive dog with my social dog, and this was the perfect place for Zoey to remain calm and keep her brain together. We had an excellent training session and some play time, too. Gretchen L.

55We visit often. Even if my silly dog just sniffs, runs around once, then wants to lay in the sun, it’s so worth it! Most of the time I get a good hour of running in for her. She always gets so excited when we turn onto Memorex. She knows where we are going! Ellen T.

55Great, high, fenced area. Very clean. Couple of chairs provided for when you need a break. It was a nice day when we went, but could definitely see how it could get hot, since there is no shade. We will definitely come back again. Noelle C.

FAQ about our Santa Clara 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?
