55Great directions - you are up high in the Los Altos hills with a great view. The dogs ran around and we also got a chance to train them off leash. Water was left out for us which was great. We will be back! Mary S.

55Beautiful drive to the sniffspot. Excellent entrance instructions. So many things to sniff. I kept my dog on a long line because I knew she would attempt to go down the steep parts and possibly get stuck there. Lots of paths to wonder and sniff. Melanie L.

55My dog had a GREAT time sniffing and exploring! It was like we were pretending to go on a real off-leash hike. Beautiful views at the flat patio/seating areas, but very steep so watch your step. Olivia T.

55Our pup had a lovely time at this Sniffspot! Definitely steep in some areas as the listing describes but our dog didn’t try to go down the hills, so no issue for us. Really appreciated the hose and water bowl left out. The views were amazing! We all had a wonderful time and enjoyed the beautiful weather.Sarah S.

55Wonderful place! Like some of the reviews mentioned, it was a little hard to find. But once I got there, my girls had a lovely time and got lots of energy out by running up and down the steep stairs! The owners left a hose out for water which was really sweet and greatly appreciated☻ will be coming back soon! Taylor M.

55Appreciate the super clear directions to get in. It’s a beautiful location and the pups had fun. There are some steep areas with steps (but we knew about this ahead of time) so not super favorable for senior dogs but there’s enough flat areas for us to explore. Highly recommended! Elle T.

FAQ about our Los Altos Hills small dog parks
Are small 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 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Los Altos Hills?
There are 70 small dog parks in the Los Altos Hills area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
