55What a great spot! My shepherd thoroughly enjoyed all the space to run! This meadow is fully enclosed and so big! Guest advice - watch your step for the ground squirrel holes. It’s more sniffing enrichment for the dogs! Haha. The fences are all chain link and border a neighbor’s backyard on one side and two horses visible across a driveway on the other side. This was not an issue at all for my dog who is only reactive to dogs but sharing the info. We had such a good time! Kristie is a kind host and provided all the instructions we needed to have an awesome time. Will definitely come back! Becca T.

55My dog Koda did have a wonderfully time playing frisbee, fetch and sniff around.
The property is big enough for a god dog exercise besides just walking. Fully fenced.
For sure we will comeback.
Thank you Kristie!

55This was such a fun spot for my 100 lbs German Shepherd. There are signs that direct you to a designated parking spot and to the sniff spot entrance.
The property is pretty flat at the entrance and begins to slope a bit more when you walk further into the area. There are logs, plants, grass, and so many great things for my dog to sniff and get stimulated. Just be wearing of some livestock manure throughout the property.
There are two gates and a lot of separating space between the Sniff Spot and the neighboring backyards, but you can still hear the neighbors dogs barking when you stay near the entrance. We walked further into the property where two fences and a road separate you from a horse, so the dogs didn't bother us after that. You can hear the horse neighing and some cows mooing, but they are out of sight for the most part and not a problem for my dog.
My dog and I are excited to come back! The host is very friendly and has a phone number posted on the gate if you need anything at all. Charity K.

55Kristie was so accommodating, even when we had to change the appointment time due to heavy rain! The Sniffspot itself was plenty of room for both my dogs to run, sniff, and play! Shannon Y.

55Easy to find and clear signage for where to park etc. Big fenced-in field, there were one or two gaps that a smaller dog could have fit through. Water and trash cans available. Dogs in yard next door barked most of the time so if you have a dog that is sensitive to dogs barking, might not be the best spot for you. Ilene W.

55My Lola enjoyed this spot. I was a bit worried about the cow poo. Lola is a Lab and tends to eat everything but she wasn't phased by the poo. Huge lot, nice bark covered hill for fun climbing. Lola is ball obsessed so plenty of room to fetch. Great place to keep your pup safe during this virus. Will return the first week of January and bring another friend with us. Definitely will return. 🐾🐾Amanda B.

55This was an awesome place! The perimeter is very well fenced - there are a few teeny tiny gaps where a super small, super determined dog *might* be able to get through, but they clearly maintain the fence very very well. My dog is 45 lbs and a proven escape artist, and I felt safe letting her run here. The neighborhood is pretty quiet, and the views were beautiful! A bonus: even after a full day of rain, the ground was firm. Keats I.

55Such a beautiful meadow, and so much to sniff! The fencing is very secure and has even been reinforced in some areas. Horses are visible but still a ways away. Lots of room to run and lots of things to sniff. No distractions from the car to the spot, and appreciate the garbage cans at the entrance and the clean drinking water on the site. What a beautiful property, thank you for sharing it with us!K G.

55Great spot, very open, lots of room for dogs to run full speed. The sniffspot is easy to locate with well posted signs. There is a dedicated parking spot right across from the spot.
There are neighbor dogs that barked but didn't last for long. The excitement of a big open space and new smells kept my dogs occupied. There were a few cow pies, but they were avoidable, and my dogs largely ignored them.
All in all, a great spot for dogs and the hill makes for some great cardio for the owners, too! We will definitely be booking again.Jessica B.

55Huge open space, green, and fully fenced! Our mini aussie was in love. You will hear dogs and other animals but they are not visible. There are some holes in the ground so be careful if your dog is on the smaller side. All in all, we love the space and will try to make regular visits. Shahryar (Shawn) N.

55Absolutely beautiful hillside pasture that my pup Charli got to romp around and play at today out in south San Jose/Almaden area. Lots of luscious green grass and areas for her to explore while we were there. The hosts were very kind and answered my questions promptly and made their property and the entrance to the hillside easy to find and access. We will definitely be back! ThanksTracy H.

55This is our second time at Hillside Meadow. This place is Amazing! It has plenty of space for sniff around, fresh air, nice view, nature, nature, nature.
During our visit we got to see Peacocks, chickens and horses next door. Koda, my dog got a lot of exercise going up and down the hill.

55Great Sniffspot! Our LGD wore herself out exploring all the smells and climbing to the top of the hill to get an overlook of the area. As others noted, there are a lot of cow patties around, but luckily our girl didn’t care. You can hear the animals on the neighbors’ properties. Kelley K.

FAQ about our Newman fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks 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 public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
How can I find fully fenced dog parks in Newman?
There are 70 fully fenced dog parks in the Newman area. The most popular fully fenced park is . You can browse all of our fully fenced dog parks here.
How do I know if a fully fenced dog park works for my dog?
Many people looking for fully fenced parks have dogs that are not good with voice control. Start by applying basic filters, such as fences height and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. You can see attributes of fences such as height, gaps and fencing type to find the perfect fenced-in space for dogs. You can filter by size to make sure you have plenty of space, or a smaller space if you prefer a neighborhood park. You can browse on a map by park location to find one in your city or near your city. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our off-leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible near the space. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to check features you want for your activity, such as fresh water, trail features such as soft trails or walking trails, or even water fountains. If you prefer wood chips, many of our parks have wood chips or indoor space if you prefer a beautiful park building.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot fully fenced dog park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not permit use by pregnant dogs and we do not permit dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules, such as staying within the designated off-leash areas. Each park location also has their own set of rules that guests need to follow, such as limiting excessive barking.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot fully fenced dog 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.
