55Peaceful place to watch my pup run free in a completely fenced arena. We got to use the agility arena and they had a blast. Creek is super close, can’t wait to explore more next time. Dawn M.

55This was an excellent spot for my dog to have some off leash play time. I’d highly recommend this location especially if you have a reactive dog. Mine loves water and lives for playing fetch, so this was the perfect place for him to run around and then go for a swim to clean off!
About 40 feet or so from the large fenced corral area is another enclosure with some sheep/goats and a really calm livestock guardian dog. He didn’t bark or appear interested in me or my dog whatsoever while we played in the corral (very cute dog). The sheep and dog are mostly obscured by plants and are at a far enough distance that my dog didn’t pay them any attention. If you have a dog that’s really sensitive to other animals it might be good to be aware that they are somewhat within view as you walk into the corral area.
Overall the visit was peaceful and thoroughly enjoyable. It’s a tranquil spot with some amazing views! I’d love to come back again and maybe bring a picnic lunch to enjoy while my dog tires himself out. Priscilla H.

55Had a wonderful time in the arena playing ball. The tree in the middle was absolutely perfect, great shade and there were chairs to sit on and the ground was just turned over so it was nice and soft for the pups feet. I took a stroll down to the creek which was wonderful the water was nice and cool. A little rocky for my dog's feet but other than that it was really serene. We'll be coming back for sure.Romana C.

55A fun spot amidst orange and lemon groves. There's a fenced-in off-leash area, a creek nearby, and clear directions on where to park. My pup definitely had fun checking everything out.Tasha H.

55This place was awesome!! There is a huge arena where the boys chased a ball, Frisbee and eachother. There is another arena with an agility course and one of our dogs was quite good at dog agility. Who knew?! Then we went down to the creek which was perfect for romping around and cooling off. The orange orchard was beautiful too with lots of great things to sniff. Everything was very clean. We will be back for sure!Tawny M.

55Our big runners had a ton of fun here. The large fenced in area gave them plenty of room to run and be secure. We walked them on leashes to the creek and they both jumped in and checked it out. It is a nice, quiet property, with penned livestock, and pretty surroundings. Very peaceful place to let your pups burn some energy. Follow the directions for entry exactly and you will pull right up to the fenced pen...the directions were perfect. We did not meet the hosts. We will definitely be returning.Susann S.

FAQ about our Ventura 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Ventura 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 56 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 9 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
