What people say about dog parks around Salinas, California

Su C.

January 2025

Our host was amazing, she gave us a lot of guidance and we picked up and "extra", her fresh farm eggs. The place was secure, the dogs ran all over the property as my husband and I played "hide and seek". The sitting bench swing gave us a sunny place to relax and we highly recommend this tranquil property. Our reactive male heeler did bark at the goats (seen through the fence) but was able to get over it and get back into enjoying the private yard. Thank you Lindsey!

Always clean and lots for our pup to sniff and play. Thank you for another wonderful visit, we always enjoy our time at your place.

The lady who owns this property seems incredibly kind. It was nice meeting her and her sweet dog! The spot is very secure. The space is amazing with so many different areas to explore with your dogs. We had a wonderful time and the dogs loved exploring. We booked an hour but easily could have stayed longer. Will definitely be making this a regular spot for our dogs!

This is a great spot with plenty of space to run. For one dog, it felt like too much $ however. I would definitely go back when I'm the area, it would just not be a regular spot for us at that price. The agility area was fun for both my dog and my daughter though! There was a kiddie pool for him to cool off. The host gave great instructions and communication.

This Sniffspot is amazing! Our Ollie has never been happier. There are a few different areas for him to explore and run to his hearts content. It’s easy to get to with parking inside the fenced in area. We’ll definitely be back.

An excellent sniff spot!! The dogs enjoyed smelling around all the different areas and had fun digging in the sand pit. Plenty of space for fetch and fully fenced for safety, plus it was great to get some training in on the agility equipment

This was our first time at a sniff spot and boy are our expectations high! The obstacle course was great for the dog (and kids!). Plenty of space to explore, play, and train.

Our first time visiting a Sniff Spot! The area was clean and had multiple fenced areas for the dogs to explore and play. My two huskies had a blast. Just be prepared as they may get a little muddy!

September 2023

My dogs had so much fun here!! One of my dogs is extremely nervous about new places and is scared of people and barking dogs. This space allowed her to explore different areas without being worried about the things she is scared of. She was even willing to try out some of the obstacles/agility equipment which was so good for her! My other dog LOVED climbing on everything especially the tall A-Frame and there was plenty of space for him to race around. It was truly a fun playground for them. We don’t live locally, but have to travel to Monterey regularly to see the veterinary ophthalmologist and we will definitely be back to this sniff spot!

This place is Disneyland for dogs! My pups loved digging, running, and exploring the large, very secure space with so many fun areas .

Jessica F.

Great area with a variety of opportunities depending on your dog's preferences (digging, agility, fetch, or just walking around sniffing). Heard dogs as we arrived, but they were not visible and we did not see anyone else while we were using the area.

This spot is amazing. Tons of agility obstacles and a kiddie pool to cool off. Our dogs had a blast

We had a great time here! This spot was very well maintained and organized. We especially loved that you park inside the fenced off area! And the dogs loved all the space to run and explore. Playing ball on the turf was a big hit! We look forward to coming back many times!

Our fur babies had a blast on the turf field! It was clean and secure. Balls and a chuck it stick was provided as well! We will definitely be back to check out the other areas.

Nice lot for the dogs to play. They loved it! We did a reunion here with my dogs bestie from when she was a puppy. The Sniffspot owner provided a few balls and a chuckit, dog bags and trash buckets. Lots of places to sniff and run around and play chase. Will definitely be back.

Dogs went to sniff town! They enjoyed the variety of places to experience as well. Thank you for the lovely spot!

We love this spot! There’s different area for different activities; an area for diggers, a large area with obstacles, etc. The area is very secure and easy to get to and they have poop bags stationed at several spots in case you forget yours. This definitely one of our go-to spots. When we start down the road to the spot, Ollie starts getting excited and wiggly because he has so much fun there.

Loved this so much! Was a bit hesitant since we’re from San Jose and it’s a bit of a commute but it’s so worth it! Dogs loved it. We were able to run, play, and we even tried the obstacle courses. It’s hard to find a place like this that it’s safe for reactive dogs.

Perla C.

My dog had a great time! The place was easy to find and instructions were clear. We will definitely be back!

Brenda L.

My two dogs had a great time by being able to run around freely. An hour was more than enough time for them to become tired. I really liked that my dogs were the only ones on the play area. I would definitely recommend this!
