55Lovely place for the dogs to run and play! Water is great, although neither of our dogs did more than go in belly deep. Cool and quiet early Saturday morning!Linda O.

55So great to release my mini Aussie from her leash to play in the water, roll in the dirt and just be free and happy! It was even better that she had an energetic doggy friend for her to play with. The sprayer hose provided was much appreciated!Kathy D.

55Wonderful safe spot for dogs to run free, sniff around, swim in the pond! My dog doesn't like the water, but she was pretty interested in the pond. We'll go back for sure.Jeanne P.

55I’ve been looking for a fenced in area with water, where I could see if my high energy boy, Jack was a water dog. I was not disappointed!! He had so much fun discovering he could swim in the pond, chase fish, fetch balls, and explore the large fenced in property. There’s even a bathroom, for those that can’t venture too far from one. Will definitely go again. anna i.

55Fantastic place for my adventure pups to explore. Instructions for entry were clear and easy to follow while at the site. There were humans in and out of the SniffSpot but were friendly and respectful towards dogs.Hillary H.

55This is an amazing property, and we would definitely return! The host was welcoming and friendly, and the pond was full of life - frogs, fish, dragonflies, and lots of birds - with all kinds of terrain for our dog to play on. Loved the shady sitting spots too.Madeleine K.

55Paradise! I struggled to find it at first, but man, what a great spot. Beautiful property and the owner is really nice. My dog has arthritis and the vet recommended swimming. When we got home after swimming, he was walking so much better. This will definitely be part of our routine going forward! Lots of amenities- dock, chairs, toys, and water hose to wash off. A true gem! Abigail E.

55My friends and I brought our six dogs to Taylor’s pond. They had the time of their lives, chasing squirrels, jumping into the pond, and running around. In addition, our kids had just as much fun playing with the boats and zipline. We will back for sure. Jennifer R.

55Taylor's Pond is the perfect spot for our dog to explore off leash with fencing in place. We did multiple laps around the pond and our dog had a blast sniffing everything. I would definitely bring her back along with her other pup friends.Jenny D.

55Great property! Our two Aussies could not get enough. Very nice for humans too—lovely walk around the lake and plenty of places to sit, if desired. Water station was handy. Could hear another dog and a rooster and saw a person outside the fenceline—but the property is large enough that these were not distractions at all. We will be back!Tamara S.

55Plenty of parking. The dogs had a great time racing around the pond. We brought life vests for the pups, but they had a few for use if you forgot yours. Lots of balls & sticks for fetch. Would definitely book this one again!Cindy R.

FAQ About Poway 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.
