55What an adventure! So first and foremost this is a horse property. My pupper is a bit reactive and has never been around horses so when I got there I wasn't sure how it would go. She didn't see them right away as they were in corrals to the side of the property, once spotted she approached, the sniffed each other, she barked a little and then let them be! What a relief! Just be aware if your pup is aggressive they would have access to the horses. The horses were highly socialized with dogs and people. Adib was an excellent host, he had great communication anticipating our needs starting with directions. Wear boots as it was muddy in places. She had an absolute blast and the property was the ultimate "Sniff" Spot. Because of the horses she had to smell everything! We got a lot of training in around recall, and it was actually really great having some safe distractions. Thanks Adib, we'll be back!Aislyn W.

55This was a very well rounded and stimulating spot for our dog Stella. There was lots of places for her to observe and explore. She had a blast running around, jumping around, sniffing and finding pinecones and sticks. There are horses within their sniff spot but they are very well socialized to dogs and people. My husband and I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet the horses ourselves. This was Stella’s first interaction with horses. She was pretty nervous at first did bark at them but it was a great opportunity to socialize Stella to horse with lots of treats. While the horses were very calm, we kept Stella on a long lead as a training precaution since she would have access to them. It was a great opportunity to combine play, redirection, and training.
The hosts were very hospitable. They welcomed us to use their large tent with a beautiful space to rest in between playtimes. The hosts were very kind and checked in with us to ensure we were comfortable and Stella was comfortable with the horses. Towards the end of our stay some family came to say hello to the horses but we were able comfortable enjoy the large tent at the other end of the space.
I would 100% recommend this space for friendly dogs. However the spot may be too stimulating for reactive dogs. Neda N.

55Host is very helpful my dogs were very excited to run and explore the property . Host has horses on property in a coral my younger dog was afraid at first but she was fine after 10 min. It was a good experience for her so next time she meets a horse she won’t be nervous. I wish the fence was higher in certain parts of the yard. Jessica K.

55Easy to find, just follow instructions on this website. Beautiful, very large pond with ducks and a dock. There are hammocks and swings. The dirt walking area goes around the pond, you can easily walk it several times. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely return often. Liz R.

55My husband and I had such a fun time here with our pup! All the tall eucalyptus trees and the duck filled pond made it so relaxing. There was plenty of space to sniff and explore for two hours. We enjoyed looping around the pond as it reminded us of how we used to hike off leash with our dog in the bay area. We did occasionally see some people walking on a trail on the side opposite to the entrance. We saw a couple with their dog but luckily our dog did not notice so it wasn't an issue. Will definitely be back!Victoria N.

55So cool— dogs had fun, lots of room to run, swim, explore! Also fun things around the property — was kind of like summer camp! Easy to follow the directions to park and get into the spot. Note, there were two sets of adults and kids fishing so if your dog is human reacrive / aggressive check with the owner. Can’t wait to add this as a weekly treat!Terri H.

55Beautiful property! My dog absolutely loved it. The hosts were very welcoming and kind, and it was a very relaxing environment. One of my dogs has a prey drive and there were ducks in the pond, so I leashed her and took a few laps around while my other dog played in the water. Highly recommend!Elise D.

55Great spot, plenty of activities for people. Safe enough for the dogs, as long as you’re watching them. Our pups kept drinking the pond water and wanted to chase the ducks but they resisted the temptation! Will return at some point! Natalie C.

55A hidden gem! This is a really fun spot with a lot of great little touches. Right in the heart of Poway but feels like you're way out in the countryside. Our doggies loved watching the ducks and our water lover went in for a swim. I even relaxed in the hammock for a little bit!Rahima C.

55It was our second time visiting Taylor’s Pond and it was as wonderful as the last time. It was me and two dogs, both dogs had zoomies after some time of being there because they were so excited by the scents. Different from the first time we visited, the weather was a bit chilly this time and even though the main attraction is the pond the dogs still had an amazing time. It was clean, calm, and with the right amount of distractions. Reina M.

FAQ about our Escondido 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.

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 Escondido?
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.

Can I have an event or party at a dog water park?
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?
