55The property is huge and full of things for dogs to sniff and investigate— stumps, trees, a tire wall, and even big lichen covered boulders. Eucalyptus trees on the far side of the area provide shade for exploring dogs.
There are some foxtails here and there but overall I was very impressed with how well-mown the huge sloped property is.
Most of the yard is very sloped but there are a few flat areas for a very good game of tug or fetch. I would watch out for gopher holes on the slope that connects the two halves of the property and keep games of fetch to the grassy area closest to the driveway.
There is a nice shaded area for the humans, complete water bottles, snacks, and even spray sunscreen.
Overall I think there’s something here for every dog. Places to play with your dog or places for your dog to run around and explore on their own. Great if you want to jog around with your dog and great if you just want to chill in the shade.
A perfect place for my big, energetic, dog-reactive shepherd who needs lots of space to exercise and explore. We had a great time and will be back. K t.

55Nice big spot, great for throwing the ball. My dog had a great time. The host has left thoughtful amenities like hand sanitizer and wipes, waste bags, water and some balls to throw if you forgot your own. Definitely above and beyond what I expect at a Sniffspot. Be sure to have the instructions and directions to the place downloaded for offline mode because cell signal was unavailable. I was a little unsure at first that I was going to the right place. The signage is the one thing I can think of that I would improve, maybe something at the road pointing up the driveway. Jared B.

55This place is wonderful! So much thought and care went into this space. There's some flat ground and a bit of a hill/slope, which was great for different types of exercising for our dog. The day we went the weather was mild. However, there's shady areas for when we get into the hotter Summer months. We will definitely be back! bradandkim r.

55Your own private dog park. Took my pup here a couple of days ago for the first time and had a great time. Finally able to let him off leash and run around in a nice big yard without all the drama of a public dog park. Although it was pouring with rain we had a great time. I'll definitely be booking again.Peter B.

55My pup had a blast at this Sniffspot! Plenty of room to play fetch in the grass and roam around. My only call out would be to watch your pups around the pool when the cover is on as mine learned that the hard way when his ball accidentally rolled into the pool and he followed – oops! This was minor however in comparison to the dangers of a public dog park! We will be back for sure!!Courtney M.

55Large area with different stimulating areas. Only used it for mental stimulation/exploration and dog was interested the whole hour we had it. Gate is to the right of the house even though instructions are contradicting. Natalie N.

55What a great spot! My dog was shy at first but his confidence grew the longer we were there. So nice to have a place where I can safely exercise him. We’ll be back for sure! Thank youErin C.

55My McNab border collie lab mix was ecstatic to have a fenced in ranch/farm environment to run circles herding invisible sheep. He was tail wagging happy to sniff a hundred gopher holes and mark his territory in such a wide, safe fenced in space. Thanks! Caryn L.

55This is our second time at this spot and it is consistently great. The fence is safe and secure and the whole spot is very well maintained. It has plenty of interesting things to sniff and open space to run but the grass is kept short and there is no debris in the spot. Lia M.

55Went for the first time yesterday and had a great time. It's about 1.25 acres most all of which is flat and mown. Plenty of room for some vigorous exercise. Took a picnic up and sat in the shade of a big tree. There are some supplies on the gate, in case you forgot anything, but it's best to bring everything you need. This is the dog park you can have all to yourself. Will definitely go back again soon.Peter B.

55My pups LOVED having such an open space to run and it was well maintained. There are poop bags available along the perimeter of the fence in case you forget or run out and even a chuck it if you need one. We will be back frequently! Sara D.

55Great experience. Found it right off Pepper Road. Met Nancy, she came to say hi and introduced herself.
Most of all my 12 year old Bebe had the best time off leash for the first time in years. No other dogs to spook her. Best day ever. Thank you. We've been looking for a long time.Shari C.

FAQ about our Discovery Bay 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.
