My two pups loved their time at Birch Way Park! We recently moved and have a small backyard. The pups are not comfortable at the public dog parks. This was perfect for us!

Sadie and I had a blast! Lovely, quiet, spacious, fully fenced area for me and my 33lb terrier/beagle mix canine kiddo. She enjoyed an adventurous sniffari around the whole yard, we played chase/tug with her favorite toy, and spotted squirrels and birds outside the fence which is always exciting for this huntress! We even practiced some basic training commands. All off-leash… a major luxury, as I have no fence at home and have never had off-leash time outdoors with Sadie since rescuing her in November 2020. (She’s dog-reactive/anxious, so dog parks and dog visitors are a no-go.) My home is very small, so indoor off-leash time is space-limited. Seeing her run, jump, and just be silly and free was the highlight of my day! Thank you, Christina (our host) and thank you Sniffspot!

Such a great yard! Bigger then I expected, so much to explore, my pups loved it! It’s very easy to get into the yard, you can park right near the gate to the back yard which is so helpful having two pups and one of me! The host was very responsive! We will definitely be back!

Nice spacious yard with plenty of room for my two dogs to get their zoomies out after a 5 day car ride and 3 days in a hotel room! Lots of areas for them to sniff and explore as well. Host also had water and tennis balls available which was nice. Will be back for sure!

Perfect location for Bear. As we live in Wildewood this location is perfect. Parking is easy and access to the yard is also just as easy. Plenty of room for your pup to walk/ run around and has a good amount of “woody” areas for plenty of sniffing and lots of open area for running as well. Will definitely bring Bear back to use some of his husky energy.

Maple and Barley loved the back yard! Plenty of space to run and several spots to sniff! We will be back.

I wish our first visit was during the daytime as I was a little unsure, but luckily we ran into the owner and she kindly gave us some guidance. My dogs loved having the open space to run around and play safely. It was a fantastic first visit and definitely plan to come back

Terrific host. Quiet, clean yard. Our dog enjoyed playing with his toys, running around the yard. It was great to have our dog off leash in a safe area. We were able to do off leash training. Looking forward to visiting again.

Very quiet and calm place, dogs had a lot of place to run off leash and they loved it. Owners of place were very kind and helpful with instructions

This is EXACTLY what I needed for my little dysfunctional doggie. Joel has a beautiful flat yard, it’s perfectly sunny and shady and the trees make it private. Daisy was GOOD and worked out for the day after her visit, can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful area to let your dog enjoy themselves! Plenty of room to open up and run. Lots of trees to give shade as well. We will be visiting again!

FAQ about our California 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. 98% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the California 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 143 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 21 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
