55The hill is definitely very step but there are plenty of warning about that. Cute medium sized yard that gave my dog the chance to run around and burn off some energy! Worth it Taylor S.

55We had the best time! Our dog loved the ball pit and all the toys. She had a blast running around the yard. The arrangement of the yard and all the toys was thoughtful and you could tell they put a lot of effort in to make it a great experience for the pups and owners. We canβt wait to go back. Dana D.

55Cindy went above and beyond to accommodate my late dog, Stella, and I during her last days. She sweetly left an activity for us to do together for me to keep as a momento of my dog. The world is lucky to have such a kind soul like Cindy in it. Lindsey N.

55We just had our first Sniffspot experience and it was impressive. The host thought of everything -- from balls to a chuck-it to an enrichment device to a trampoline to towels and a pooper scooper so that plastic poop bags in the landfill can be avoided. Ann R.

55For our first Sniffspot, it definitely set a high standard for future bookings. From the very start, Cindy made the process so easy & seamless. She was very attentive & answered all my questions. We celebrated Broncoβs 2nd birthday & she graciously put out a table & chairs. There was even a happy birthday sign, gift, & best of all.. a beautiful handmade card from her daughter! There was so much room for activities that the dogs were never bored. From the trampoline, to a tire full of balls, to hand sanitizer, to towels.. there were no amenities left unnoticed! Truly a spacious, five-star airbnb for dogs. We will definitely be back :)Rachelle Q.

55What a great place! So many extra enrichment activities. Our dogs particularly enjoyed the stick βlibraryβ and the treat puzzle station. The yard was very tidy, and there were plenty of shady spaces for our pups to cool off on a warm day. Weβll definitely be back!Debbie D.

55We had a great first experience with SniffSpot! This location was ideal, the directions were clear, the location is depicted correctly, and there are extra surprises on arrival. We moved to SD from the South where we had a large house and yard. Our very active dogs are not used to our tiny condo and we are so pleased with not only the service but this specific spot as well. The tennis balls, the stick library, optional dog grooming, etcβ¦ was perfect. Thank god for the hill to really wear down our German Shepherd. My only comment to other visitors is donβt be like us and go right after a leg day workout ;) The steps in and out are steep but totally fine if we had not just killed a leg day. We will definitely be back!!!! Caroline P.

55This is the best sniff spot!! There is a ton of running space, variety of toys, and a few nicely shaded areas. We brought the dog we were sitting but would love to be back with our own pup. We could hear another dog barking nearby but I didnβt see where it was, so be aware if your dog is reactive to that.ellie p.

55We havenβt been here in a couple months mostly due to timing/ schedules but also because as much as my dog loves fetch, he is obsessive with it and usually all he wants to do in this great Sniffspot is chase the ball for an hour. Weβve been working with a reactivity trainer and have learned that fetch sort of feeds into his obsessiveness and intensity which in his case can make his reactivity worse. So we have been doing flirt pole, foraging and enrichment only type of activities with him in recent months. So when I saw that they added a ball pen here that can help simulate foraging I was excited to give it a try! There are several new enrichment activities and I really appreciate how Cindy tries to think outside the box and offer so many different and fun activities and add onβs (even a raised dog wash!). We really appreciate this and as always sheβs a great communicator

55This was a cool spot! The main yard being down the hill definitely gave us great privacy as Iβm a trainer and hosted two classes here. There was fresh water, bed, a canopy rest area and lots of fun objects for the dogs to explore like a slide, playground and in ground trampoline. I recommend early morning or late afternoon as there isnβt multiple shade spots for sunny days if you have multiple dogs. Great spot! Stephanie S.

55The host is very responsive and the place looks exactly like the pictures. Our dogs loved running on the hill. The shade and seating area and all of the balls and enrichment activities are thoughtful and much appreciated. Note, if your dog is sensitive to heat, probably best to book for an earlier morning or evening on hot summer days.Sarah W.

FAQ about our Downey dog water parks
Are dog water 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 guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. If you are worried about whether you can have an enjoyable water experience, just know that it is possible to have peace of mind when visiting dog waterparks by following basic safety guidelines. Some great ways to stay safe around water with your dog include learning canine CPR and keep an eye on your dog at all times to ensure they are not distressed. You can learn more about safety around water here.
How can I find the best dog water parks in Downey?
There are 35 dog water parks in the Downey area. The most popular dog water park is Fully fenced yard with swimming pool!. You can browse all of our dog water parks here.
How do I know if a dog water park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your dog. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog water parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog water parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. Make sure to review the amenities of the spot to see what kind of water features are offered to make sure it works for your dog. If your dog is not a strong swimmer, then perhaps choose a dog water park with tamer water features rather than a river or beach, for instance. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking water park hours.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot water park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Additionally, we recommend following our water safety guidelines.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot water 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 dog water park party, each Sniffspot water park has their own rules regarding special events. Many water parks allow doggie birthday parties, training 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.
What are the coolest doggie water features available?
Sniffspot dog water parks can have a variety of features, everything from swimming pools to rivers to beaches to hoses and kiddie pools. If you are dreaming of a curtain of water, water tunnels, a ball pit pool, water slide ball pits, splash pools or other cool features, you can definitely find amazing features at Sniffspot dog water parks. Each water park is different, so check the details of the park to find the incredible dog water park of your dreams.
