55Great space for ball tosses and sniff exploring for my two dogs. Nice green grass and a huge shade tree at the upper end of the property. Be aware it’s not really fenced on two sides. A brief visit from a loose neighbor dog, but he was friendly enough and the owners put him up while we were there. Kristina met us and was very sweet. Mandy B.

55We’ve been to this spot a couple times and really appreciate the hosts cleaning up the spot! We see all the effort being put in to make this spot even better. It’s a great spot for our pups to run, sniff, explore, and train safely! Shannon Y.

55As described. Fencing, water, chairs poop scooper. Great place for our girl to run around. Easy access and parking. Nirvana could hear other dogs barking but as described no dogs along the fence-line which is good for our girl. Will be back!Chris V.

55Secure, sunny in the afternoon, distractions (dogs barking and horses grazing) were far enough away. My dog is small so the place might be too big for his size but he really did enjoy sniffing all around and was very curious about the chickens in a coop on the adjacent property.Cindy c.

55Kristie was a great host and has amenities for the dogs such as trash cans, bags, and water bins. She is friendly, welcoming, and responsive via messages. I would really recommend this spot! If you come early morning, I would suggest to bring hiking shoes or extra socks since the grass was a little wet, but other than that, I loved it & my dogs had fun! Alejandra Q.

55Oh my gosh! We LOVED it!! It rained earlier in the morning and a little while we were there. Honestly, the rain just made it more fun for the pups!! Directions to get there were fabulous. Signs are visible and helpful. There are water buckets for pups, poop bags and trash can. It was such a great time to let my pup work on his off leash recalls with myself and trainer. As well as romp and play. Absolutely loved it! We will definitely be back!! Jeanine S.

55Our experience at Hillside Meadow was absolutely wonderful! It offered a serene escape for me and my reactive dogs, providing a safe and secluded area for them to play and explore. The amenities provided, such as waste disposal stations and fresh water sources, were convenient and well-maintained, adding to the overall enjoyment of our visit. Hillside Meadow exceeded my expectations, providing a peaceful retreat that we all thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend it!!Nayeli P.

55This place is amazing!! It is fully fenced and huge!! It has a hill as well as flat area. Our pups had a great time exploring. We brought balls and toys they completely ignored them they were so busy running in the open area! Plenty of water for them to drink as well as waste bags if u forget to bring yours. There are a couple chairs if you get tired and plenty of shaded areas. Will definitely be coming back. Karla N.

55This is the 3rd time we have visited this spot. My Lola always has a blast and sleeps most of the day when we get home. Huge grass lot, fully fenced, and buckets of water with access to a hose if needed.
I will be hosting Lola's 3rd bday party here. So much room for her Mama and siblings to run and play.
Plan on making this "our spot" and come regularly. Amanda B.

55What a great place! Brought my 2 high energy German Shorthaired Pointers to Hillside Meadow. They were ecstatically happy. The rain brought out lots of new grass full of things for them to sniff out. There's a hill for them to really work their legs and lungs. My 1 y.o. didn't stop running for almost the full hour. Both dogs were happily worn out and slept all the way home. We'll definitely be coming back Maddy H.

55Khaleesi and I love this spot! We found it to be fully secure, with lots of room to run and explore. Lots of fresh water and strategically places (clean!) chairs for resting were much appreciated; and the views are gorgeous. Kristie is very pleasant, informative, and customer satisfaction is high on her priority list. We’ll be back!Mona C.

FAQ about our Pacific Grove 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 Pacific Grove 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 23 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 4 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.
