What people say about dog parks around Los Angeles, California

Noreen was very communicative and accommodating. She left out plenty of amenities such as fresh water, dog toys, treats, towels, hand sanitizer, and even an electrical outlet on the table. The yard was grassy enough to keep my 90lb boy clean, and long enough for him to play fetch and go wild. Will definitely be coming back!

Noreen is so communicative and generous! She left out toys, fresh water, and snacks for our pup, as well as some snacks for us. She even offered us cold beverages out of her fridge on the porch. The backyard is big, spacious, and open, with lots for your pup to sniff and investigate. There are chairs to relax under the shade. Parking is easy. Definitely recommend and will be back soon! Thank you Noreen!

Such a good experience! This is a new favorite Sniffspot for us. Really good amount of space for our big 80 and 45 pound dogs to run and play. The sweetest host provided treats, toys, food, water, and even human treats for us! 10/10 experience!

This is my third time visiting here. Pros: Quiet neighborhood, clean backyard, water available for both dog and human, and friendly host. I would visit here again.

I returned to LaShun’s spot and it was even better than last week. She made the improvement that I suggested for her yard which is awesome! Once again she was the sweetest host and my Daisy had a great time. Thank you LaShun! We’ll look forward to our next visit.

I am honored to be LaShun’s first guest!!! The yard was perfect for my Daisy to run around and get her zoomies out. It made me so happy to see her enjoy herself. LaShun, who was incredibly sweet and kind, also provided a table, bench, canopy for shade, and so many amenities like cleaning supplies and cold fresh water for both me and my pupper. I will definitely be returning— thank you, LaShun!!!

Very nice spot with a beautiful view. Didn't realize it was as "vertical" as it is, but me and my dog are not bothered by stairs so it wasn't an issue. Would love to come back!

Giving 5 stars because the place was gorgeous and had almost everything we could need - a spacious yard with room to run, places for humans to relax and sit, dog toys, amazing views. The one downside was that the neighbors dog was aggressively barking at ours through the fence and we had to put significant effort into distracting our dog.

I want to live at this SniffSpot and so do my dogs. The property is absolutely massive with a tall fence, and has a huge variety of terrain and plants to keep my reactive pups intrigued and gorgeous views to keep me happy too. If I could afford to bring them here daily, I would!

Had a great time letting our dog off leash to explore and play. He is typically leash reactive and unsure of himself around other dogs so dog parks aren’t an option. When we arrived we found the gate easily, but upon entry there were two dogs loose in the yard and they approached us. The human with them said she didn’t know the yard had been booked (she’s not the one that maintains the account) but she was nice and quickly brought the dogs inside. It was all good, and our dog handled it well, but definitely worth noting for anyone concerned about their dog around other dogs off leash. It would have been really awful if something had happened. All that said, not worried about booking the spot again, we had a great time.

GREAT space if your dog loves to sniff and explore! Both of us stepped in poop down on the grassy level, but otherwise a very private and secure location. The neighborhood was quiet and parking was easy. Beautiful views of the San Gabriel Mountains and Mt. Baldy. We will definitely return for more visits.

Great sniffspot, with a killer view! My dog had such a great time running around and sniffing every inch of the multilayered backyard. We definitely got our steps in running up and down the stairs, can't wait to go back.

This is a great spot for medium to large sized dogs. Lot’s of space for them to roam and sniff. Great flat spot for them to play. The host even had water available and toys throughout the yard. Would definitely book again.

Perfect place for my sensitive, little ol’ man to sniff and explore around in while we visit family in the area. Thank you for sharing this little slice of doggie heaven with us!

This spot is truly amazing!!! My dog had the best time ever. So many parts for her to discover (and for me!)
The views also are just phenomenal.
We already can’t wait for our next visit here!

The yard is beautiful, such a fun place for the doggo to explore. Pumpkin, the dog, had some back legs disability and this yard had a great combo of grass and rest areas, plus stairs for some agility practice. Communication was wonderful, access easy, and overall a wonderful experience. Thank you!

Perfect spot - so excellent. Lots of levels with a good mix of “wild” and “land/hard scaled” areas. Fencing very secure (my dog is the size of a house cat and she was fully contained (though she didn’t know it). Will come back!

What other types of private dog parks are available?
Dog water parks
Many hosts have added water features like pools and/or are nearby lakes or rivers.
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.
