55Really nice place. It was fully fenced and it had a nice box filled with balls for the dogs. It also had a little spot to plug in your charge if need be. Estela D.

55Great spot! Perfect for my dogs, big enough to run laps and get some exercise myself to lol never saw any people or animals and it was safely fenced in. I also like that you can actually drive in and the gate shuts behind you because my little dog is hard to leash and walk into places so that was a plus! We will definitely be back. Mandy M.

55A fantastic site for running the zoomies out! Really nice gazebo for shade or rain protection & lots of toys to toss around. Lucky for such a nice site right in middle of town! Thank you for sharing.Terri S.

55The area is spacious. There is a lot of space for the dogs to run, and I don’t have to worry about them at all. They both came home tired. They had a lot of fun.Katherine R.

55Great spot for fetch/soccer/frisbee as well as plenty of interesting sniffing!
Maple had a great time and even though we brought all our own toys of course was totally into the balls and toys provided instead ! She even went through the pop up tunnel which really surprised me. She had so much fun, instructions were clear and access was super easy. We’ll definitely be back Sara S.

55Hi, I just started taking my dog Tri to your field, we live right nearby. That’s a great area. Thanks for doing this. Just want to let you know the corner at the northwest corner of your lot: there’s a breach in the fence that my dog got through and got into the neighboring yard, right where that large seasonal pond of water has formed. I was able to get her back in and I stuck a piece of lumber right in there, but it’s not balanced or secure so you might wanna look at that one corner, thanks!Michael O.

55Beautiful location! My dog loved it! Just a heads up, there are large gaps in between the wooden fencing and under the gate. If your dog is like mine and doesn’t listen, they’ll definitely escape.
Thank you for providing a space for my doggo regardless 🐕Karina C.

55My 16 month old lab loved the open space to run. My only concern was the deep cracks she could fall into while chasing her ball , but I do understand it is because of the dry and hot weather. Teresa W.

55I can see Kristen has cleared this space and given us areas that have many dynamics to it for the dogs to play and sniff! There are shaded areas in the dip of the hill and long open spaces for me to throw the ball for a long run. I know she is addressing the many holes! You just need to be careful with your footing! The only issue I’m personally going to have is when the fennel grows back as I’m highly allergic! But I’m 1 in a million 😊Deborah d.

55I’m not sure who enjoyed the space more; me or my dog. I grew up on the east coast and spent countless days walking and playing in wild areas. Today I got to let my pup roam and run- the mud made it perfect Paul G.

55The place is beautiful, spacious, different elevation of terrain & is exactly as the host described it. We spotted a flock of turkeys & 2 deer near the beehive. My dog & I were on a long leash since I know he doesn't have recall, for the safety of the wildlife in the area, and the the fencing described.
For reactive dogs visiting, the host did mention there are neighbor dogs so be vigilant if your dog is sight or sound sensitive to other dogs. We did see a dog & we also heard another dog but lots of space we were able to move further away.cathy w.

FAQ about our Santa Rosa 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Santa Rosa 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 76 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 13 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.
