55Nice sized yard, fully fenced with an easy-to-access gate. My dog had a great time exploring and playing.
SAFETY NOTE for dog owners: the terrain is very uneven and has some debris throughout (cinder blocks, broken pottery, wood boards, assorted stuff along the fence, etc). There’s also stagnant water pooling in some of the debris which is easily accessed by dogs. Keep a close eye on your pup as they run and explore here!Ana L.

55This is a great spot. The fence is secure and solid, so it was easy for my dog to focus on me for some fetch and training with only a few distractions. The host, Courtney, was lovely and welcoming, and even left out a ball and some poop bags. We had brought our own, but this was a friendly touch. We will definitely be visiting again!Lia M.

55One of the first things we noticed was the spacious and open yard. The fences were very high and everything was very neat and well kept. Our Pitbull Terrier, Yogi, fell in love with the space instantly and spent the next several minutes just sniffing around and taking in everything!
Courtney, our host, was wonderful and let us enjoy our time privately and let us play with Yogi at our own pace. We never felt rushed and only felt invited and encouraged to spend as much time as possible just enjoying ourselves!
We will most definitely be coming back and I would highly recommend Courtney to anyone I know who wants to play with their furry friends privately.Taylor N.

55Sadie had a great time in Courtney’s backyard! It was the perfect space for her to get her zoomies out. She ran in circles and played fetch until she got tired. We really enjoyed the seating area and shade it provided. Courtney’s instructions were easy to follow. We will definitely be back! Dana L.

Highly recommend!Brittany T.

55Excellent experience for us and our two rescues with reactivity issues. Plenty of space, secure and tall fences, easy and smooth process with Courtney. Our dogs had a blast and we will definitely be returning! The yard is in the back of the location and so no other dogs/humans visible. Mayumi P.

55Courtney’s yard is perfect and great for our reactive dog. Tall fence all the way around and plenty of space for our 65 pound dog to play fetch. Courtney was very understanding about our dog’s stranger danger issues and even allowed us to let ourselves in so that our dog didn’t have to run into new people. 10/10 would recommend!Chelsea M.

FAQ about our Oakland small dog parks
Are small 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 are much safer than public dog parks.
