55Alexis was very communicative and the place was easy to find. Great parking, no issues getting in or out. The yard is a perfect size for a small dog to really run and get some energy out. We had a great time and we will be back!Mallory B.

55The yard is securely fenced, tidy, safe, quiet, and has real grass to romp around on. Our two 15 pound dogs chased each other back and forth til their tongues were hanging out! There were two comfy chairs for the people to relax in while pups played. We will definitely book again.Tracy S.

55LOVE this sniff spot! This was my first time here. It’s so clean!! Absolutely perfect for what I was looking for. It has tall fences and no visible access to anything outside the property, which is important to me. I brought an anxious Greyhound who feels more secure in confined, well fenced-in areas. It had a sweet little seated area for me to hang out and was really a great visit for both of us. I’ve frequented lots of sniff spots and this is definitely my #1 go-to now. Be back soon. Thank you!Julie H.

55We really had fun at the Dane’s Place. I loved that it was in a quiet neighborhood with parking right out front. There was nice sized grassy area for dogs to run and chase after a ball. The yard was completely fenced in, secure and clean. I’m looking forward to going back.Heidi Y.

55Excellent sniffspot! Very clean, enough space to run around, and a nice selection of toys. We visited on a sunny day and I really appreciated the sun screen left out on the table :) The fence is also 100% secure, which is SO nice. We didn’t hear or see the host’s dogs at all during our visit. Thank you!Angelica G.

55As the owner of an anxious dog, I am so grateful for spaces like this where my girl can play in her own private space. The yard is clean, safe, and full of lovely grass that my dog likes to prance around on. Thank you!!Kenzie B.

FAQ about our Lakeside small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Lakeside?
There are 87 small dog parks in the Lakeside area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
