55Such a lovely property to explore, complete with various trees & plants, different levels for my pups to climb around on, and more than enough space to run around in. The view is AMAZING as well so I definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting a peaceful trip with their puppies. I brought my 3 pups and we stayed for 1.5hrs (arrived late so didn't stay the full 2hrs), which was still not quite enough time just because there was so much for them to do. Definitely making another reservation here soon :)
(Tip: Push the gate inwards, not pull outwards, so you won't be fumbling around with the gate for 10 minutes like I was and looking you're trying to break in LOL)Christine L.

55Great spot right in Glen Park! Beautiful views and for my dog that isn’t an escape artist the fencing felt secure, even in the spot that is technically unfenced.Nina H.

55This spot is so special! My dog and I both loved it. The terrain is interesting and diverse. There is enough room to chuck a ball. You just have to be careful that you don’t accidentally bounce it over the fence. There are a few places in the fence that could be tricky for dogs that may see a squirrel or bird and take off through the gaps. That isn’t really an issue with my dog, but just be aware. I definitely just kept an eye on my dog the whole time. I also brought my own water bowl and there were plenty of spigots to fill up from. Thank you to the people that host these spots! It is a game changer for me due to the fact that we don’t have a yard and all the dog parks are over packed with dog “walkers.” Happy sniffing! Aleah T.

55Cool spot! We came in a big storm and Pepper was excited to run around in the rain. Definitely a few places she could escape, but we just called her when she got to those spots. She’s an explorer but not a bolter so if you don’t have good recall and your pup is prone to exploring or chasing wildlife this probably would not be a great fit. All that being said, we enjoyed it a lot! Gabrielle T.

55First time at Nina's SniffSpot and my dog loved it. So many different areas for sniffing! Fully fenced with a couple places that have gaps. We kept her on a long line except for when we did recalls. The views! Wow! Love Nina's place! We will definitely be back! Melanie L.

55Really interesting spot with lots of levels and plants and sniffs for the dogs, and great views for the people.
There are lots of meandering paths through and to get you from level to level, and hills the dogs will run, so watch your step 'cuz some of them aren't paved well.
Nina was awesome - really communicative and helpful.
All in all great host and spot!

55Love this spot. Lots of nooks and crannies for sniffing. Agree with other users, yard is not ideal for fetching or throwing a ball. But my dog couldn’t fetch to save her life, so this spot was great for us.Quynh L.

55My two Basset Hound rescues loved it! They were rescued from a Basset breeder and hoarder in a rural area and were never socialized, so they’re still terrified of the sights, sounds and commotion of the city and parks. This was perfect! They were able to sniff, explore and be dogs, and they were exhausted by the time we left! We’ll be back for sure.Debbie G.

55We loved visiting Nina’s yard. It’s a large, varied space that was fun for our dog to explore. I agree with the comments that it’s a better on-leash environment since there are some hazards (open hot tub, tall ledges). If you’re with your pup and helping them avoid things they shouldn’t get into, you’ll have a great time. Elise B.

55The yard is big and lots to sniff. Definitely a watch-your-step kind of place - not a lot of even walkways. Great for the dog and lovely views for the humans. Jami S.

55Scully loved the yard! Lots of interesting things to see and sniff, and enough space to chase her ball. Easy to locate, park, and enter. Fence around perimeter looked totally secure and I felt quite comfortable letting Scully off leash to explore. Definitely plan to come back. Thanks Nina!Melissa C.

55This spot is just perfect for the city! It’s a large yard, fully fenced in, with lots of different terrain to keep them interested. Nice little trash can to dispose of your dog poop and a tap for water fills (bring a little bowl). I have been here often and the host of this spot has put a lot of work into keeping this yard up. I could imagine it is a challenge with such a large and unique spot. Thanks Nina for creating such a haven for my pups!Aleah T.

55Chewy had a great time at this spot. Lots of places to sniff and dig. It was nice not having to worry about him running off or getting overstimulated. He did find a treasure trove of poop by the side fence up towards the top but that was the only thing I would poo poo about this place. Joleen M.

55Nina’s sniff spot was perfect! An amazing view of the city, fully fenced with lots to sniff. Very easy to access, and had plenty of space!
We could hear cars passing if your dog is sensitive to that, but they couldn’t be seen so we didn’t have a problem. Will be stopping by again!Kelsey P.

55This yard is perfect for small dogs, dogs who want to wrestle, or dogs that are into agility training (there are hoops, jumps, etc). The host provides water, toys and treats. Unfortunately it’s too small for big dogs that love to run. For whatever reason the Sniffspot app included this property in my .5 size lot filter. The host states clearly their yard is only a .04 lot, but I missed this trusting the app’s filter. Regardless we had fun, but it wasn’t big enough for the type of exercise my dogs require. Ana M.

FAQ about our South San Francisco 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 South San Francisco 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.
