55Our dog loved sniffing around in the bushes that border the fence line and running up and down the incline to get tennis balls. Easy parking, clean and secure. We will be back!Dee B.

55This was our first time trying sniff spot and it did not disappoint! Everything was just as described in the host listing and my dog absolutely loved it. The fencing was high and secure- reassuring for me! Beautiful yard with plenty of space for a larger dog to play and explore. Loved that water and tennis balls were included! Will definitely be booking this spot again!Jean S.

55We will definitely be coming back! We live in the area and recently adopted a very nervous/reactive dog. We love that we will be able to bring him here to play safely without having to worry about things getting too overwhelming for him. Note for those with nervous dogs: there are sometimes people/cars audible from the yard, but nothing too loud. Our dog was able to refocus quickly and never got too worried. He had so much fun! And the water bowls were filled with fresh water, which we really appreciated. Thank you!!Shannon H.

55Frank had so much fun sniffing the leaves and running around this perfect sized yard. She also appreciated that there was a huge bowl of tennis balls and two dog bowls full of water. Us humans loved the the chairs and patio. Frankie did try to climb under the shed once, but I think that says way more about our crazy dog than the shed. Margaret S.

55We had a wonderful time here today! We spoke with the owner before visiting and since she let us know that there is a few inches of a gap under the back fence we brought a 30 foot leash for our small dog so she could explore without us worrying. There were two big bowls of water and the grass was a great length. No poop on the ground, which we appreciated. We stayed about half an hour because it was our dog’s first sniff spot and she was tuckered out quickly. 100% would recommend visiting and we can’t wait to come back!Julia H.

55It was Olive’s first sniff spot and it did not disappoint!! She loved romping around and running laps. She was just as happy to take a rest in the shade on the patio. Wonderful spot and we will be back. Emily C.

55Wonderful, shady yard! My dogs had so much fun running around and wrestling and chasing balls (and birds). And it was so nice to have fresh water and a place to sit, and even some sticks and toys for the dogs. Thanks, Roxann!Rachel K.

FAQ about our North Beach dog parks
Are dog parks good for dogs?
It is important for dogs to have off leash exercise to sniff and run. But the free and open nature of public dog parks has drawbacks. There could be aggressive dogs, disease transmission and cleanliness issues. For this reason, many dog behaviorists discourage visiting public dog parks and recommend Sniffspot's private dog parks. Sniffspot private dog parks only allow one guest to book at a time and are not open to the public, which solves many of these issues.
