55Easy to find, just follow instructions on this website. Beautiful, very large pond with ducks and a dock. There are hammocks and swings. The dirt walking area goes around the pond, you can easily walk it several times. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return often. Liz R.

55The 5 acres is mostly the pond with a dirt trail around it for the dogs to run. We had 10 dogs so not much play space with that many of them but they all still seemed to thoroughly enjoy it and that’s all that matters to me. I think we’ll be back!Nina L.

55I loved this spot! It has everything my dog could ever want- the pond to swim in, enough room to roam, run and sniff and I felt very comfortable and safe. It's obvious they love dogs and were extremely friendly. I can't wait to go back!Karen B.

55Our two labradors had a blast running and swimming. I was at ease knowing that they were safely enclosed since one of our dogs is a 1yo puppy without a good recall.Chris S.

55Great big running spot for my very curious dog. She ran and ran and tried to get in the water to get the ducks, but thankfully never got quite that brave. We were able to circle the very large pond 3 times in our hour there. She's tired and we always say, "A tired dog is a happy dog." We'll be back!Lori B.

55It has been a couple months since our last visit because I was waiting for a bit of rain. The pond is gorgeous as always and looks like the hosts have cleaned and tidied up the area even more. I'm also overjoyed that this property has not become overrun with dog poop as some sniff spots do when they become really popular, and after their pets So everyone can continue to enjoy the property and water.
There is a gate in the back that did open to allow a truck to pass through but there was someone waiting in a car in the gate to close it remotely right away, So you just may want to make sure you keep an eye on that back gate depending on your dog's disposition.
Thanks David and family for sharing this special place!Michele S.

55LOVED this spot. Walked the whole perimeter the check the fencing before letting our pup off leash. He’s new to us and does not have a good recall. All fencing was at least 6ft in height with no gaps in fencing. There was one small whole in the chain link right across the path from the cement dock on the east side that a small escape artist pup would be able to get through but other than that the space was very secure. Resident were all very friendly. Will definitely be coming back to get our pup’s zoomies out!Meggie B.

55We (and our pup) loved this place! The loop around the pond was beautiful and there was a lot of space for our dog to run. He even took a little dip in the pond. Katelyn O.

55We are regulars at the pond, My large hound has the time of her life.
In recent weeks the hosts have opened a dog boarding service which is completely visually blocked off at the front of the pond near the other house structures.
I hope guests will clean up after their dogs as this continues to be very popular spot. Host has kept the price low since opening, despite that they could be charging much more. I wouldn't expect hosts to go around and clean up dog poop after every visit at this price (or ever, really. Picking up your own dog's waste is your responsibility). There are bags provided at the entrance. Please be courteous and utilize the trash receptacles and poop bags, so everyone can continue to enjoy it at an affordable rate.
Thank you to the hosts for continuing to offer this amazing spot to dogs and their guardians. Michele S.

FAQ about our Encinitas dog agility parks
Are dog agility parks safe?
While public off-leash 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 city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.
How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?
Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility 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.
