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.

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.

55We had a great day today playing in the yard. It's an awesome spot to toss a ball and for pups to get in a good run! Mine may have fallen in the pool today, but then he had even more fun running it off 😜 He's now passed out!Michelle P.

55What a great experience! The backyard is spacious and beautiful. Cowboy enjoyed himself SO MUCH. We booked an hour and had time to explore, play fetch, and romp around in the sunshine. Cowboy is dog reactive and even though he is great on leash, I love being able to give him this new experience to smell new smells and freely walk around without worry. He did fall in the pool (literally the second I looked the other way) but he got out quickly before I could even intervene. I will book again. Thank you Stephanie! Briana V.

55Took Oscar out to our favorite sniffspot and made a picnic of it. As always, great space. We also loved that the owner was so thoughtful to put a disinfectant spray and hand sanitizer out by the gate. We brought our own to wipe everything down before and after we touched anything but it was nice to know the owner also had safety in mind for everyone. Suzanne S.

55This a really great space for a dog to run around. My golden retriever had a fantastic time chasing his tennis balls all over. Bonuses are the shady area with chairs (shady in the am) and a water spigot for refills. I’ll definitely be returning. Liz T.

55Was our favorite spot before the pandemic, and still our favorite during! It’s the perfect spot to practice social distancing and we are BEYOND grateful that this Sniffspot is still open. Tango got to roam free after being cooped up for several weeks now and he is so relieved – as am I. So nice to be able to exercise my pup and get some fresh air all while being safe. Thank you so much for being a safe Sniffspot for all of us!Courtney M.

55A great, wide open property to let your dog safely roam! Our Great Pyr Mix, Goji, loved being able to roam and explore off leash. This location is great for that! I do wish there was a “Sniffspot” sign marking the entrance to the area, that is my one small critique.
Hopefully more Sniffspots open up in the area! This is a wonderful idea for dogs who like to explore on their own terms in a safe way. Thank you for hosting!Natasha V.

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.
