55This spot was great! Starr was very accommodating and friendly. She has horses which she moved to separate areas and an adorable mini horse the dogs could get to, but was very friendly and the dogs didn’t really bother too much. Her property has two large fields where dogs can run freely and tons of new smells to keep pups interested. There are spots in the fence where smaller dogs can get through to neighboring properties, so if a dog does not have good recall it may be an issue. My two GPs had a blast chasing barn cats, smelling new things, playing with Starr’s shepherd, and seeing horses for the first time. They left exhausted and happy. My kids had fun as well running around and interacting with her mini horse, which was an added bonus! We’ll definitely book this spot again.Nicole H.

55This is my favorite sniff spot ever! The hosts are so fantastic and they think of everything. My dogs love coming here! And I always feel so great bringing them here.  The hosts are incredibly responsive if I ever need to check in beforehand and they’re super flexible. They are the best!!Wendy B.

55We really enjoy our visits to Wide Open Spaces. My youngest gets to run to her heart’s desire and my eldest enjoys smelling the wildflowers and lounging in the kiddie pool. Jennifer B.

55We loved this place. We were warmly greeted and everything explained. The space is big enough to give my big dog a good run after the ball. Lots of water for her to drink and toys to play with and treats went down brilliantly too. Fence is secure and some good distractions for me to work with in training. Parking just outside the gate and covered area for people to sit. Area around the entrance and seating was clean although Not everyone had picked up after their dog in the big field despite bags being kindly provided by the owners. Will definitely visit this spot again! Julie B.

55Great open space to play. My dog loves Chuck-it more than anything in the world, and it was such a treat for her to have that much room to run. She napped well after just an hour of playtime!Marcia M.

55This place is just perfect, our pups had so much fun! The host(s) were so nice, from set up to welcoming us in, they have everything needed. Easy to find, host showed us in and let us know everything we needed. This is such a blessing and great alternative for safe area for fur babies, and good exercise for me after sitting at a desk for hours, walking the fence line perfect workout as well as throwing ball for pup. We will def be back! Our pups seem to enjoy being off leash and able to just run and explore! Fencing is secure, we could hear dogs in distance but not see them, have some farm animals which was very cool and traffic of course from the road, our dogs were so busy playing and exploring they didn’t bother with anything else.

55This place is great, easy access from baseline. I liked that they offered fresh water, treats and toys. My two dachshunds are full of energy and love to run around but they are not ready for the dog park, this place is just perfect for them. Lots of open clean space for them to explore. Emma S.

55Awesome large, private space! Our 1-year-old whippet was able to run around and let out all of his energy. The property is fully fenced so we did not have anything to worry about. The host gave us a quick tour of the area when we arrived and even provided dog treats, towels, and poop bags. Excellent experience using Sniffspot!Adam P.

55We at DogTrax and Willow Kane labs love this wide open spot. Rustic and raw. It’s perfect. They care how this spot is run and it shows: from toys, clean pool, cleaned up plaster, mowing, towels…come. You’ll love it. River F.

Wonderful spot! Very nice wide open space, they provide fresh drinking water and have a kiddie pool that they clean regularly. Provided toys for the dogs as well! The fencing was great, the road facing fence was higher which was a nice barrier. Aside from hearing a couple dogs barking in the distance it was very uninterrupted and private. Looking forward to visiting again!Alex D.

55This was my first sniff spot experience and it was a great one! The host was very accommodating. They had dog toys, poo bags, fresh clean water, a kiddie pool, towels, and even treats! Their large acre of land was plenty for my 3 dogs to run wild like never before. And we visited right after a few days of rain so there was a nice puddle in the middle that my dogs had a blast running through. I was so glad they provided towels because I totally forgot to bring mine 🤣 I will definitely be back. My dogs had a blast and I really enjoyed getting to see them run free.Amanda T.

55Always a good experience here! Hosts are very friendly when you greet them and every time they make sure to provide a fresh, clean towel. Kiddie pool has been clean every time and the property is always well maintained. Occasional people and live stock but overall a wonderful large private location! After a big rain there's a nice river flowing through which my dog loves! Alexandra D.

55Fantastic field to work a single dog or larger groups. They have an easy access, toys, and seasonal water feature-an organically created stream bed. Those labs and border collies loved it! Bring towels. Simply phenomenal. And the hosts are super! River F.

55The space was great! It was clean and there was no animals or noise in the area. It is near a busy street but the whole place is fenced in. The host greeted us and gave us a tour of the space. It has rained so our dogs enjoyed the little pond that was left from the rain. Will definitely be coming back again. Karolina V.

FAQ about our Rio Linda 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 Rio Linda 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 114 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 18 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.
