55Our dog absolutely loved it to play in the pond and have the freedom to run around. The owner provided towels, water bowl and shampoo for our girl after swimming. Such a nice area that was so fun her to play. We also loved the relaxing areas with the hammocks was such a great place to hang out. Noanne R.

55We had such a wonderful time at Taylor's Pond today. We have two dogs that are both rescues, one of them was abused pretty badly before we rescued him and it has been a long process to rehabilitate him. This was his first official outing and I almost cried seeing him so happy. This place is an absolute gem. The dogs loved running around in the pond, there are swings and hammocks for the humans. Everything is fully fenced and there's even a place to hose the dogs off when you're ready to leave. We will definitely be visiting again! 🐕🐾💦Janelle R.

55This was the perfect spot for my reactive dog! She had blast having the whole place to herself, able to sniff and swim stress free. The property and pond were very clean and well kept. The owner was very kind and made sure we were able to find the location and had everything we needed including water bowls, a dog washing station, dog shampoo and towels. Will definitely be bringing my girls back here. Ansley E.

55This was my first Sniffspot experience and we had a great time. The property was clearly marked as was the Sniffspot entrance and parking area. After closing the gate I unleashed my dog and we took a lap around the pond to check everything out. Everything was secure and I had the place to myself- I didn’t see any one around and there were no cars driving through. I did see a few people walking on the trail behind the property. There were some dogs barking on an adjacent property but they weren’t visible and didn’t bother my dog. She spent the whole time in the pond, chasing ducks or her tennis ball off the dock. She did get quite dirty so I hosed her off before getting back in the car and gave her a bath at home. It was very peaceful and the pond is beautiful- I didn’t have an issue with bugs but I was there in the morning. We will definitely be back- my dog did not want to leave and could have spent hours playing in the water. Megan G.

55Very nice, cute, and clean. Plenty of shady spots to sit. Had a hose and towels for after. There are others on the property but no other dogs. Cynthia F.

55My Aussie Molly always has a blast at Taylor Pond! She gets her Ya-Ya's out on a wide dirt trail that circles the pond, chases the waterfowl, and gets a kick out of all the other activity on the property. I think at this point she believes that Taylor Pond is her very own special hangout and the owners are part of her pack! Kim U.

55My friend and I brought our three dogs and they were in heaven. Two ran in and out of the water and one spent the entire time swimming after the ducks in the pond. We met a few people on the property and everyone was incredibly nice. We are definitely going backClaudia L.

55My pups had an excellent time. They got to enjoy the open space all to themselves and had a grand time running around off leash. Brought home happy exhausted dogs. Lenia M.

55Our pack had the absolute best time at this sniff spot! We brought our 8 dogs (5 are ours, 3 fosters) and it was a blast. They immediately jumped into the pond and enjoyed swimming laps and playing fetch. We walked around the whole pond as they explored, played, and rolled around. It was very beautiful with lots of shaded places to relax. Our husky has a metal plate in her leg from an accident and has never really swam in her life. We thought she was unable to or it was too hard for her, but almost right away she hopped in the pond and swam. Our hearts were so full! We are definitely coming back to this amazing sniff spot.

55This place is great! We had everything we needed, including cell reception. It’s a mostly dirt path surrounding the pond. Not much grass, so they did get dirty. But there’s a hose and dog shampoo/conditioner by the entrance/exit. Dogs were so tired out they didn’t seem to mind being hosed off. David was nice, showed us where the poison oak was when we asked. Five stars and two thumbs and four paws up!Leslie P.

FAQ about our El Centro 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks 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. 100% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the El Centro area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 7 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 2 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
Does El Centro have any fully fenced dog parks?
