55Our dogs absolutely love this place- they have the best time running, swimming, rolling, chasing each other and always leave tired and happy (and in need of a bath, haha). The pond is so pretty right now with the lily pads blooming and dragonflies flying about. Laura B.

55This Sniffspot is truly magical. It’s private, fully fenced and has multiple seating areas for people including a picnic table and chairs under a shade structure. The property has tons of space for the dogs to run and the pond is the cherry on top- it’s both beautiful to sit by and fun for the dogs to jump in and swim. Our dogs had an absolute blast swimming, running, chasing each other, rolling in the grass and were exhausted when we got home! This place is perfect and we can’t wait to return again and again.

55This is a great spot! The host provides great amenities like water for pup, dog toys, comfy seats, shade and more. The pond was great for splashing and there was a baby pool too. My puppy and I had so much fun. We went after a lot of rain so there was mud in some spots, but that was expected. The fence and gate were really secure and it was easy to find. We already can’t wait to go back!Megan M.

55Such a great spot! My dogs had a blast in the pond and the space for humans was lovely as well. The Adirondack chairs were a perfect spot to get a bit of work done while the pups played. This is a favorite on the rotation for sure!Holly J.

55We really enjoyed the peaceful setting and beautiful mountain surroundings. Thankful for the great seating and shade while our dog wore herself out. It was great to see her reaction to the pond and plenty of space to run without other dogs. We will definitely be back to Pondside Paws Park!Kate O.

55This is a wonderful spot! It's definitely now one of our favorites. It's very well kept. The fencing was secure, which gave me peace of mind for my 13 lb pup who can get through some small spaces. My other dog loves swimming, so the pond was perfect. She swam the entire hour! We will definitely be back soon.Kara K.

55Nice large yard for a dog which wants to run. Clean with picnic tables and even an outhouse is provided. Close to the ag center in case one stays there for an event and would like to give your dog some space to play.Barbara T.

55I did not get to use her Sniffspot. However...I can rate the pre- visit communication as extremely helpful and concerned about making the visit exactly what we needed. I look forward to a future visit.myra g.

55I absolutely loved this spacious Sniffspot for my dog – perfect for letting him run and play freely. The thoughtful shelter with seating provided made rainy days enjoyable. There is some distant traffic noise that might be a concern for noise-sensitive pups. Overall, a fantastic spot for active dogs!Jax G.

55Such a cute spot! It’s on the land of a dog resort so there are other dogs and people close by, but kept separate by fences. Little bit of a hill too so some good sprints got a boost for those zoomies!Nicole T.

FAQ about our Sapphire 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Sapphire area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 93 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 17 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
