55We drove half an hour to this spot and it was worth it. Our reactive pup was able to roam around freely and wore herself out. Planning to come back!Diana S.

55Awesome backyard for my pup to play! The backyard is pretty large. Lots of space for my dog to run around, throw the ball far, and big enough for him to explore. My dog had such a great time and so did we. The host left us some snacks and water for the humans, pooper scooter, some water, and treats for my dog too. We had such a great time and I definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking to check it out. I 100% will be coming back!(: Marina P.

55 I found Way Back Doggy Paradise to be what I needed. There is an enclosed fence which eliminates distractions. There are several doggy hammocks for dogs to rest. There is a spot where water can come up, from a mat that will cool off any dog. The Host provided freeze dried treats for my dog and even human treats! There was ample room for my dog to run and play. I plan on going many more times!Debbie K.

55This was our first time at a sniff & spot. The host communicated well & was available for any questions we had. Our pups had a great time at “Way Back”. There was so much room for them to run, lots of seating for the parents & they even left out snacks & water for us. We definitely recommend this place! We would love to be back.Anissa C.

55My pups had a lot of fun exploring here. It was a big open space and they had water for the pups too. You could hear the neighbors dogs but you could not see them. The fence was secure!

FAQ about our Riverside 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 Riverside 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 432 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 44 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.
