55Oh my goodness, Nina's spot is heaven sent! It’s beautiful, spacious, fully fenced, safe, and so peaceful. It’s truly life-changing for my pup to have a secure place to run, explore, and play. We’re so grateful to have found this spot, and the fact that we’re indirectly contributing to the ASPCA thanks to Nina’s generosity is the icing on the cake. We can't wait to come back many more times!Rene M.

55Large and spacious backyard with plenty of trees and shrubbery for your dog to wander around and sniff. The space was clean and had several dog toys scattered around for your dog to place with. The neighbor to the right with a balcony overlooking the backyard has a dog that barks at yours. It didn’t cause any issues for me, but wanted to flag that for any reactive dog owners who might be interested. Overall, my dog and I had a great time sitting outside and enjoying the warm weather.

55The space was exactly as described. We went at 11 am on a Wednesday and it was super quiet. We heard some dogs, buses and construction in the distance but nothing that bothered my noise sensitive dog. I appreciated the variety of toys. My guy is a shredder so we did destroy a couple toys but I brought some of his old tennis balls to trade. The fence on one side is low and has slats so if your dog is a jumper you might want to have your dog on a leash drag. There were some foxtails and other pokeys in the dirt (probably just leftover from weeds or being blown in) but my dog has short fur so it was easy to spot them and pick them off. It was a super cool space and I will definitely be back!Catherine C.

55Huge space right in the city! There was also decent street parking around so it was easy to get in and out. Definitely a bit hilly but good exercise for the pup. My dog loved having such a big space to run around in without having to worry about triggers! Apparently there is a neighbor’s dog that sometimes hangs out on the balcony so just an fyi if your dog is super reactive. We didn’t end up encountering him so it was fine but would’ve also been good opportunity to practice disengagement. Overall had a great time and will be back! Shelly T.

FAQ about our San Francisco 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.
