55Absolutely amazing! She had every single thing you could need. There was a welcome station, fire hydrants, a pool, water buckets, the hose, agility course and more. I highly highly recommend it. Thank you so much for giving me a place to bring my dogs. They had so much fun. Shelby D.

55Best spot ever!! My two huskies had an absolute blast. There was water and toys out when we arrived. The space is sooo big — my girls got tons of zoomies out. This is our #1 spot now!Katrin W.

55We love this Sniffspot so much! It is our go-to, with a high fence, lots of room to run and explore, private entrance, and quiet area! We never have to worry about anything when we are here with our pup, who is afraid of strangers and can be reactive. There is a nice table and chairs to sit at, and the lovely host will even set up a kiddie pool if requested. Thank you so much!Alison F.

55CJ can’t wait to come back! The spot was truly perfect. Plenty of space for him to get the “zoomies” out, and a great set up for me to sit and hang out when he just wanted to walk the perimeter to sniff. I felt so safe and comfortable here, and it was very easy to find! The fence offered a great balance of security and privacy. Plenty of street parking in the surrounding streets.
I will definitely bring CJ back here to play and train! Rose M.

55This yard was lovely! It was nicely maintained, including the tall, secure fence. We arrived to bowls filled with cold fresh water, and an assortment of balls and sticks! There was plenty of shade. We were there at 3:30 on a weekday and found parking easily on Ivy St, super close to the house. The house had a Sniffspot sign and it was clear where to enter the yard. Great experience.Suzanne H.

55This was our first time trying sniff spot and it did not disappoint! Everything was just as described in the host listing and my dog absolutely loved it. The fencing was high and secure- reassuring for me! Beautiful yard with plenty of space for a larger dog to play and explore. Loved that water and tennis balls were included! Will definitely be booking this spot again!Jean S.

55Fantastic spot! This was my first time using Sniffspot, and it’s so convenient and reasonably priced. This spot had at least a dozen tennis balls, sticks to chew on, and 2 overflowing bowls of water. My dog was very happy to sniff and run about. I will definitely be visiting again.Katie M.

55We will definitely be coming back! We live in the area and recently adopted a very nervous/reactive dog. We love that we will be able to bring him here to play safely without having to worry about things getting too overwhelming for him. Note for those with nervous dogs: there are sometimes people/cars audible from the yard, but nothing too loud. Our dog was able to refocus quickly and never got too worried. He had so much fun! And the water bowls were filled with fresh water, which we really appreciated. Thank you!!Shannon H.

55Frank had so much fun sniffing the leaves and running around this perfect sized yard. She also appreciated that there was a huge bowl of tennis balls and two dog bowls full of water. Us humans loved the the chairs and patio. Frankie did try to climb under the shed once, but I think that says way more about our crazy dog than the shed. Margaret S.

55Another perfect experience here! We came around 6p so it was already dark, but the lights gave our pup the chance to run around. Roxann put out two bowls of fresh water for our birthday guy and as always, a ton of tennis balls!
It's a great spot to escape from the city!David P.

55A really nice private play space for dogs, beautifully kept with a pot full of tennis balls and filled water bowls thoughtfully placed for them to rehydrate too. For reactive dogs, there is sometimes activity in the alley behind the back fence, but not more than a momentary distraction. Anna H.

FAQ about our North Beach 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. 97% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the North Beach 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 391 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 46 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.
