55Excellent communication! Alma was great in sending information before arrival and checking in on us that everything was going great. The creek was wonderful and our pups jumped right in the water. Great spot to allow hiking and off-leash play without having to worry about other dogs. Definitely plan to visit again in the future and will recommend to friends! :) Carina A.

55I've been to Alma & David's spot multiple times with my reactive dog, but this was the first time I went down to the creek and I LOVED it! It's such a relaxing area, large enough that Kono could explore while I sat in the lounge chair and relaxed, but not so large that I worried about him getting swept away :D We'll be back for the creek hike for sure!Michelle C.

55Milhouse celebrated his 7th birthday here and he had a blast. We usually do a hike for his bday but he’s reactive to dogs and has gotten attacked often (he just has that punchable face). It was nice for me to not have to be on alert knowing we’d have the space to myself. Milhouse lived his best life. First time off leash without concern. Thank y’all. We will be back for future birthdays.Tammy L.

55This place was Incredible- we were lucky to be able to experience it! We brought our four dogs and to see them be able to run around and sniff everything off leash (while also getting to practice their recall) was so amazing.
And 10/10 recommend adding the stream. Our pups loved it. We will be back and plan to bring a bag lunch with us next time!
One small note- the walk/hike down to the stream is definitely steep! So if you have hiking poles, bring them. We managed fine without them and so did my parents who came with us but they would’ve made our lives easier for sure!Colleen M.

55We were a little lost and David and Alma helped us find our way to the trail. We did not get stream hike add on, but we were given the option to add it after we arrived. The stream hike is a must if your dog loves water. We ended up spending all our time by the stream while my dog jumped around and explored the water and surrounding area.Carlos V.

55My doggos had a great time! We opted to adventure in the orchard and had a nice time following the roads. It had rained recently and my dogs were DELIGHTED to find a decent sized puddle to romp around in. The property is fenced in, but there are driveways that have openings to the road. If your dogs stay close or have good recall it is not an issue. My dogs wander a bit ahead, but had no issues turning away from the openings to head back into the orchard. The roads in the orchard are compacted dirt making them easy to walk, but some sections are a bit steep. My dogs and I both got a good workout. Loved it! I live in Downtown San Diego and think this was worth the drive out!Tarn A.

55This location was more beautiful than I had expected. Driving in, (from Los Angeles) my two girls were ecstatic to finally get out of the car and run after their noses to get lost in nature. Thankfully, this spot has much to offer! Exploring trails was a first for my two shelter dogs; their happy wagging tails along the private hike was just what I had been hoping for. We opted to go the the creek and I cannot imagine not doing that... The swiftly flowing water is crisp and clear, and shallow enough that everyone can enjoy. My only regret is not spending more time there, which is why I will definitely return. Thank you to David and Alma for sharing this beautiful property with us dog-loving adventurers! Brittany R.

55Great Location!
The beautiful drive to this location was just the start of a great day. It was easy to find with the directions given by the hosts. The short hike to the stream makes it nice for all ages and short snout dogs. Great views of the valley along the trails. The stream area was very relaxing, void of outside noises with clean chairs and picnic table. The stream was extremely pet friendly, not deep or aggressive. Our boxer had a great time running and exploring off leash. Alma was very welcoming and hospitable. All around experience was perfect. Definitely making this location our go to. George H.

55Had rented for 2 hrs. Did the stream trail. Had a ball the dogs had a wonderful time. Loved sniffing all around and in the water. Great hosts and directions. The trail to the stream is pretty hilly and we were not in the best shape so it took a minute. If you do the stream bring extra pair of shoes and socks because it is more fun going in the stream with the pups. It is messy dirt and sand but well worth it. Chairs and Picnic table and hammock. I would say less than two hours won’t allow for all the cool things they can do.
I would say the only downside is there were these black flying bugs (like knats all over) so spray yourself. But overall great time and will come back. Loved seeing my dogs just having a blast!!wendi e.

55My pups BEST DAY EVER! We chose the stream hike and we were amazed at how serene and beautiful the spot was. Being able to allow my dogs off leash to run and just be dogs was such a special treat. They had a blast running down the trails and jumped right in when we reached the stream—super refreshing after a quick hike. Relaxing and gorgeous area with 4 chairs, an umbrella, sandy beach, picnic table, swing, and hammock. David and Alma were so accommodating and sweet. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

FAQ about our Fountain Valley dog water parks
Are dog water parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Fountain Valley?
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water park at the same time as me?
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.
How much do Sniffspot dog water parks cost?
Dog water parks in the Fountain Valley area range from $4.0 and $4.0. The least expensive dog water park is Downtown Renton. The most expensive dog water park is Downtown Renton. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a dog water park?
If you are planning an amazing dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
