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."

My dogs loved the place, a beautiful and peaceful spot amidst city bustle. Host was friendly and helpful. He has dogs and somehow during our visit they got out of their pen. My dogs didn’t mind and he was apologetic about it but something to be noted for people with reactive or nervous dogs.

Bathrooms on site, lots of swings and chairs to relax in and hose and towels to wash the dogs off if they go in the pond. Very friendly host. definitely will be back!!

This was my first Sniffspot experience and we had a great time. The property was clearly marked as was the Sniffspot entrance and parking area. After closing the gate I unleashed my dog and we took a lap around the pond to check everything out. Everything was secure and I had the place to myself- I didn’t see any one around and there were no cars driving through. I did see a few people walking on the trail behind the property. There were some dogs barking on an adjacent property but they weren’t visible and didn’t bother my dog. She spent the whole time in the pond, chasing ducks or her tennis ball off the dock. She did get quite dirty so I hosed her off before getting back in the car and gave her a bath at home. It was very peaceful and the pond is beautiful- I didn’t have an issue with bugs but I was there in the morning. We will definitely be back- my dog did not want to leave and could have spent hours playing in the water.

Very nice, cute, and clean. Plenty of shady spots to sit. Had a hose and towels for after. There are others on the property but no other dogs.

My Aussie Molly always has a blast at Taylor Pond! She gets her Ya-Ya's out on a wide dirt trail that circles the pond, chases the waterfowl, and gets a kick out of all the other activity on the property. I think at this point she believes that Taylor Pond is her very own special hangout and the owners are part of her pack!

My friend and I brought our three dogs and they were in heaven. Two ran in and out of the water and one spent the entire time swimming after the ducks in the pond. We met a few people on the property and everyone was incredibly nice. We are definitely going back

My pups had an excellent time. They got to enjoy the open space all to themselves and had a grand time running around off leash. Brought home happy exhausted dogs.

Beautiful place for your dog to run wild. My dog loved wading in the pond and running around. Plenty of shade. The owner is really nice. My dog loved it.

This was a great spot! I have a reactive dog so finding safe places for my dog is a struggle but this place was quiet and perfect for her! David was a great host!

This was our second time at Taylor Pond and our dogs love it. There’s some shade next to the pond and they love to sniff all the sniffs. The area is clean and quiet.

Love this spot! Large lot for your dogs to run around, my dogs loved the water & how much space they had to roam around.

Our pack had the absolute best time at this sniff spot! We brought our 8 dogs (5 are ours, 3 fosters) and it was a blast. They immediately jumped into the pond and enjoyed swimming laps and playing fetch. We walked around the whole pond as they explored, played, and rolled around. It was very beautiful with lots of shaded places to relax. Our husky has a metal plate in her leg from an accident and has never really swam in her life. We thought she was unable to or it was too hard for her, but almost right away she hopped in the pond and swam. Our hearts were so full! We are definitely coming back to this amazing sniff spot.

We’ve come here a handful of times and we love it every time we come! By far my favorite sniffspot in San Diego county.

We had the absolute best time at this place! Thank you so much to our gracious hosts and furrends that met up today 🥰

This place is great! We had everything we needed, including cell reception. It’s a mostly dirt path surrounding the pond. Not much grass, so they did get dirty. But there’s a hose and dog shampoo/conditioner by the entrance/exit. Dogs were so tired out they didn’t seem to mind being hosed off. David was nice, showed us where the poison oak was when we asked. Five stars and two thumbs and four paws up!

Our dog absolutely loved it to play in the pond and have the freedom to run around. The owner provided towels, water bowl and shampoo for our girl after swimming. Such a nice area that was so fun her to play. We also loved the relaxing areas with the hammocks was such a great place to hang out.

We had such a wonderful time at Taylor's Pond today. We have two dogs that are both rescues, one of them was abused pretty badly before we rescued him and it has been a long process to rehabilitate him. This was his first official outing and I almost cried seeing him so happy. This place is an absolute gem. The dogs loved running around in the pond, there are swings and hammocks for the humans. Everything is fully fenced and there's even a place to hose the dogs off when you're ready to leave. We will definitely be visiting again! 🐕🐾💦

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.
