55Been coming here for over a month to help get my pups energy out since I had to return to the office. Always fantastic, the only downside is now my dog knows when we're going there and gets too excited in the car! Not sure if I said before, but there's room to sprint and also jump around and even play hide n seek.Kevin C.

55Nina messaged me with this info and it was indeed very uneven terrain. Also, If you need your dog visible to you at all times it will be hard to see them from one vantage point except maybe from the bottom. Shade trees and dog water available. Quiet and sunny and we had fun 😌H J.

55Nice spot - we had our dog on a long leash because she is on an exercise restriction and we wanted to help her make better decisions. Even on leash, the yard is a great spot for exploration and sniffing, she had a blast. Someone had left a collapsible water bowl there which we left.Melissa L.

55This was a great spot! Easy parking and access, lots of different areas for my dog to explore. She was a fan of the multitude of tennis balls to find. Just be aware if you have a dog who likes to eat toys, a lot of them are pretty chewed up. I also had my toddler (roaming) and infant (in carrier) with me, and this was doable in case you’re interested in doing the same. The paved portions are pretty broken up, so just watch your step. Was slightly concerned about the broken pool cover, but didn’t even notice it. Emme H.

55Wonder multi tier area with lots of gradient paths, dirt, and lots of things for your dog to explore and run around. It isn't one flat surface so may not be best for those with mobility issues (people and dogs alike) but otherwise amazing views for you and your dog on a beautiful day! Amber L.

55My two beagles had a great time sniffing the yard. You can hear loud booming noises and the bus but I’m sure it’s a good way to expose your dog to those noises. Skyler B.

55My dog enjoyed the huge yard and hose to play with. There’s also lots of plants and some squirrels for him to chase and look at. We came on a sunny day and there was shade through out the garden to hang out. Naomi T.

55Had a great visit with lots of sniffs. Great view of the neighborhood and lots of places to sit. Nice selection of balls, however the rubber one won out and became the most exciting thing about the visit. Will definitely book again!courtney r.

FAQ about our San Francisco 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.
Are 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 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Francisco area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 124 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 20 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
