55What a lovely hidden gem. Perfect space with tons of shade and enough room for small to medium sized dogs to roam, play and enjoy themselves. Jax loved the toys provided and I loved they provided a fresh bowl of water for jax. I brought my own bowl not knowing they provided this extra amenity. Huge plus as a dog parent! The grounds are kept up neatly and they have a dump station (super cute idea) for you to place your fur babies poop bags into so we don't have to worry about discarding them. They also provide bags incase we don't have our own. The only con I had is the gate to enter is very tall and I couldn't find the latch. When I did it was hard for me to reach it because I'm on the shorter end (5'2). I finally got it to open but with a dog who was highly anticipating playing it made it even more difficult than it should have been. I would suggest maybe putting a string to allow easier access to the latch. Other than that Jax thoroughly enjoyed his time as did I. Thank you for opening your space up to us to enjoy. It was truly a pleasure being there. Kathrine M.

CANINE CANYON Park 🐕🐩 - Fully Fenced in Central San Diego | Sniffspot
55My dog and I had such a great time at this Sniffspot! The yard was clean, safe, and well-kept, with plenty of space to run around. I really appreciated how secure the fencing was—it gave me peace of mind to let my pup off-leash to explore freely. The host was responsive and welcoming, and you can tell they care about making it a good experience. We’ll definitely be coming back!Mia F.

55Great spot!!! I have senior doggies and my 19yo has difficulty navigating bumpy surfaces so the turf was great for her little old joints, my big boy is 10(he enjoyed some brief fetching) and my middle fur-child is 17yo 🥹 they all had fun smelling everything and resting on the beds provided. Definitely will book again next time I'm in town 💜 Wendy M.

55So much fun! I didn’t know if my dog would understand why were or there or want to play but I was quickly corrected! Jyn had so much fun using the backyard, the pool and the toys. I really appreciate D letting us use her space and creating a fun environment for my apartment living Australian Shepard. Will be back! Emily D.

55Perfect place to bring my lab! Moved from the suburbs to the city, and I have a dog that doesn’t always do great in public dog parks so this has been the perfect place to bring her so she can safely sprint around off leash.Tim O.

FAQ About San Diego 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?

All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 1% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the San Diego area are 5 stars.

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 164 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 218 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
