Stefanie's Private Dog Park In San Marcos

Partially Fenced

20 acres

"This field is huge! My dogs had an amazing time running around and exploring 😍 There is shade under the trees, and the part that wasn't fenced in wasn't an issue for us. If your dogs don't have solid recall, stick to the fenced side. The whole place is so big, you shouldn't have a problem getting a good amount of walking/running in, without coming too close to the un-fenced side. I walked around for about 2 miles, and I'm guessing my dogs probably did twice that 😆 The host was nice and allowed extra time, because I took a wrong turn coming there and was late to my booked time. We will definitely be back."

wonderful fun place . only worried about the open garages and whether there is anything dangerous to a dog,?? kept my eyes on them . I will go back lots of room to roam and would be great for dogs who like to swim also . peaceful

My dog and daughter love Taylor pond. Today was our second time going and we had a blast. It’s just so peaceful and calm.

August 2023

Awesome place to come let your dog run around and be free!! Just a heads up, there were a few people on property just as the host said, but did not interact with us or our dog. This is our dog’s new favorite place!!

This placed transformed my dog, he swam for the first time after he slipped in to the water, funny expression. His swim instinct kicked in, fun to watch. He got out and rolled in the dirt then ran around with a big dog smile. If your dog discovers water, for the first time, stay calm they will figure it out. I would recommend slip on shoes and shorts in case you need to go in to help your pet…. Remember, stay calm. He, and his pal Copper, sniffed out ever inch of 5 acres. We stayed for an hour and they were wore out. The host is awesome, towels and hose are provided to clean up before heading home.

Nice large area for the pup to run around and play in the water! There were a few people as the host mentioned but they were respectful of our space. The hose provided was super helpful. Great experience overall!

My wife and I enjoy this so much we go at least once and at times twice a week with our labradors Gus and Gwen. I think it's their favorite place to be. Miles away they know where we are going and can barley contain the barking and excitement. It is very safe and is fenced.

What a hidden gem! My dog wasn’t sure about the pond at first but once she got in she had the time of her life! So many zoomies!! We will definitely be back.

Great space with plenty of shade on a sunny day. Appreciated that there was a hose available to rinse my happy dog off before packing up. Will definitely be back!

Great place to stroll around the pond while your dog takes a dip! Bring a chair if you want to sit in the shade.

K G.

July 2023

What a beautiful place! The pond is amazing and lots of easy ways in and out. Lots to sniff everywhere around the path that goes all the way around the pond. Didn't realize my dog could swim! But she absolutely adored it. I'm so grateful for the sniffspot hosts who share their beautiful spaces with us. Just visiting in town this week but if I lived here, this would be a regular spot for us. Really clean, too.

OMG!!! We had the best time!!! My boys loved running around the whole place and they went for a few dips in the pond!!! We can’t wait to go back!!!

Our second visit to Taylor Pond, even better than the first. The dogs absolutely love being able to run free and have smiles on their faces the whole time. This time we went at 8pm and they were intrigued by all the sounds of the birds and frogs.

Karen B.

This is truly a peaceful location with lots of space for my dog to run and swim. Highly recommend it!

Annie D.

July 2023

We love coming here! The dogs love splashing in the water, running on the path around the pond, and sniffing up a storm. Also we didnt encounter any ticks or foxtails which is great.

Tammy N.

July 2023

This is our go-to place for off leash play. We even held a big birthday party for our pup with about 20 of his IG friends back in April. Definitely a picturesque place!

Janet K.

July 2023

This is my second time to Taylor Pond and it gets better every time! Last time my puppy wasn’t so sure but now he just turned one and he LOVED it. So much freedom and so much to do, sniff, run and play. Thanks!

Simone D.

Love this place. Fun for my dog and kids. Been multiple times. Not anything against this place… we were already 5 min late showing up and there was a group with their dogs still in their washing their dogs. They didn’t really hustle which is kinda rude. My dog is reactive at times so I didn’t want to share the space. Didn’t get to get in until 15 min after my reserved time. Nothing against this place at all but people should be more respectful of time.

FAQ About Chula Vista Dog Hiking Trails

Are dog hiking trails safe?

While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than a city or county park. With a Sniffspot off-leash area 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. Our hiking trails tend to be outside the city, which lends to more privacy, but it is also important to follow typical hiking safety precautions, such as potentially having trail maps.

How do I know if a dog hiking trail works for my dog?

Sniffspot provides the tools to find the ideal spot. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing 6 feet tall and distractions, to find a dog park with trails that works for your dog.

If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog hiking trails where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Since you are looking for trails, make sure to check photos to see if it the spot has flat trails or gnarly trails. You can also browse by specific amenities, if you are looking for a view or a beach, for instance, or other activities or fun features. You can check whether the spot has off or on street parking, the regular park hours, whether it has paved trails or a modern restroom.

Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
