"This field is huge! My dogs had an amazing time running around and exploring 😍 There is shade under the trees, and the part that wasn't fenced in wasn't an issue for us. If your dogs don't have solid recall, stick to the fenced side. The whole place is so big, you shouldn't have a problem getting a good amount of walking/running in, without coming too close to the un-fenced side. I walked around for about 2 miles, and I'm guessing my dogs probably did twice that 😆 The host was nice and allowed extra time, because I took a wrong turn coming there and was late to my booked time. We will definitely be back."

Picture this: You and your pup, nestled in the shade of magnificent oak and pepper trees, perched atop a gentle hill. As you both catch your breath from climbing the gentle hill, you can't help but be captivated by the view that stretches out before you in this is unique one acre fenced open space, in Southwest Escondido. The perfect blend of tranquility and countryside feel, all within reach of Rancho Bernardo, Lake Hodges, 4S Ranch, Penasquitos and San Marcos and 5 min away from I-15 and just 16 min. drive to Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley. At the Artsy Dog Place you can take the leash off and as your puppy enjoys the freedom of exploring, you can tap into your own artistic talents. Art supplies are available near the picturesque shed, allowing you to unleash your creativity while your dog runs up and down the hill. Leave your mark on the shed, whether it's a message, a signature, or a whimsical drawing or paint a rock and help us start our collection! It's a place where dreams take shape, fostering a sense of togetherness and inspiration. Thoughtfully designed with your pet's safety in mind. It is securely fenced. With 2 sides of the fence, standing 6 feet tall, while the other two sides are fenced at 4 & 5 feet in height. This ensures that your dog can freely enjoy their playtime while staying safely contained. As you enjoy the serene surroundings, you might hear chickens, roosters and goats in the distance and catch glimpses of squirrels and hawks. And if you're lucky, maybe even a curious gopher or two. Nature truly thrives here! When you arrive, simply park horizontally next to the fence and enter through our black metal door, which will be open for your convenience. Doggy bags are available for your use, ensuring a clean and enjoyable experience for everyone. We also offer Homemade bug repellent. Feel free to use it, be aware that some of the ingredients may cause irritation/allergy. Ingredients: Rosemary, lavender and citronella grown in our property, lavender and citrus oil, cloves, water, alcohol, organic soap. Please be aware that a lot of ground squirrels live on the property, so there may be some holes, please dress appropriately when you visit (no heels recommended). We also kindly request that you maintain a distance of at least 5 feet from our neighbor's fence, located at the top end of the property. Our neighbor values their privacy greatly, and we aim to ensure a harmonious environment for everyone. By respecting this boundary, we can continue to keep the artsy dog park open for everyone's enjoyment. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Come and experience the magic of the Artsy dog place, where the arts and dog lovers meet. We can't wait to welcome you!

Do you love hiking or walking your pup in a natural setting with loads of smells and places to explore?! Then you’ll love our yard- with extra big boulders for the whole family to enjoy climbing or places to rest and listen to the sounds of nature. A few “heads up” about our spot: - the path to get to backyard is a bit steep. 👟Perhaps plan to wear appropriate footwear🙃 -like most places in San Diego there’s a possibility of snakes and we did have a recent sighting, so please use caution - the fencing on bottom right of yard is a different material, but still secure without any ways for pups to get out, but it can at times shift with weather and may be more possibilities for a pup to go under (I try and check often)🌿 - on the bottom left of the yard their are fire stick succulents🌱 on my neighbors property-the sap of these plants are toxic, so best to stay away! -lastly, if you are planning to come on a weekend morning- our neighbors typically play pickle ball at this time which can be a bit noisy and a distraction to some pups- they’re usually done by 11am. If you have any questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out

Come cool off near the beach and enjoy our spacious property with a huge grassy yard and a small bank for running and jumping. Dogs and guests can cool down and relax in the carpeted shade area under the awning with comfy chairs for the humans. Let your dog have fun with bubbles, toys, and play with tires. There are plenty of fun areas to sniff around and explore! Our dog would love a play date for socialization— just let me know. I prefer a supervised for the first visit, and subsequent/recurring visits discounted and unsupervised. Playdate options also at reduced rate

The Sniffspot venue is a 3 acre fully fenced area that you and your dog will have unsupervised, exclusive use of for the time that you have booked. There, you will find fresh filtered (RO) water for your canine companions, an abundance of toys, Chuckit balls and launchers, including guest supplies and other listed amenities. The entire farm is 36 fenced acres. For anyone interested, I will gladly provide supervised walks around the entire property for additional psychological enrichment at no additional cost. Note: Palmhill is a working organic farm. There may be an occasional worker sighting, but absolutely no reason for any employee to ever interact with a guest or their dogs. My interests lie in offering an affordable, stress-free, large, safe, clean, offleash venue for guests and their canine companions. Thanks to an awesome group of guests who have been with us since first opening the venue, this has been a very rewarding experience. However, there have been, a few guests who have not been doing a very good job of cleaning up after their own dogs which makes it very unpleasant for the guests who come in to the venue next. I have many visitors who pick up dog droppings of other people's dogs and don't say a word, and also return toys and balls to the recepticles, but they shouldn't have to! I actually had a guest say to me once, "Oh, I thought you had people to do that!" No, everyone is responsible for cleaning up after themselves before they leave the field. That's how we keep the venue tidy and affordable! I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation. I've had to post a list of reminders at the venue, (thank you, Michele) which I feel terrible about because they're not relevant for the MAJOROTY of Palmhill's guests. It's just a handful of mostly newer guests who aren't being very team friendly. I've met some awesome people and even more so awesome dogs, but sorry to say, if you don't play fair, you will be asked not to come back to this venue. Everyone is welcome including, large groups, highly reactive dogs, special needs dogs- dogs with anxiety, physical handicaps, previous dog park trauma dogs, etc. We love them all and will do our best to make everyone feel welcome! Thanks so much for your support! 🐾❤️🐾

Canine Canyon Park is a unique, peaceful, fully-fenced, safe private yard situated in a beautiful canyon with no neighboring yards to worry about (our senior neighbors to the right NEVER use their yard and the other sides are adjacent to the canyon). We are located in central San Diego, just up the hill from Snapdragon Stadium in Mission Valley, and are easy to access from major freeways including the 15, 8, 163 and 52. Our property is double-fenced, which brings peace-of-mind to our guests. The top patio area, where you will enter and exit, is fully-fenced and secure, as is the lower yard with its own gate. Our home is in a quiet neighborhood, on a dead end street. Street parking is always available either right in front of our house or close by. You will have private access through a side gate to our backyard. Dogs love to run up and down the dirt slope in our yard to chase balls and expend their energy. The slope leads to our flat, lower dirt yard which is perfect for your dogs to run free and get their zoomies on! We do have a turf area under the play structure, as well as inside the pool area. We provide everything you could possibly need during your visit including lots of balls, Chuck It launchers for fetch, toys, water bowls, a hose, enrichment activities, plenty of seating, shade, a cot for the pups, towels, and more - all of which are included in the base price!

Honey is our pup and she loves her yard filled with bunnies. They are very good at hiding but they are there! I honestly doubt you will see them. :) Honey loves to leap off the tallest hill and also chase the lizards. She loves to sniff every area and play fetch. She spends all her free time down there and we want to share with some other dogs! The area is fully fenced and has the essentials, shade, drinking water, hose access to cool off, chairs for the grown ups and fetching toys. Come check out Honey Bunny Land! We are excited to host you!

Welcome to our fully fenced area! We have lots of shade under the tree and patio. There is street parking available and side gate access. Access to sprinklers is available as well. There is no visibility to the neighbors’ backyards or into our house, so you’ll have privacy. There is a good sized digging area available in the back corner by the tree- where there is dirt and leaves instead of grass. The main light at night is a motion sensor, so walk towards the patio if it happens to turn off. Any other questions, feel free to reach out!

Book your spot today and treat your pup to the luxury they deserve! 1. **Supervision is Key**: Always supervise your dog while they are in the backyard, especially if they are on the hill. Keep an eye on their behavior to ensure their safety and well-being at all times. 2. **No Food Sharing**: Avoid bringing food into the backyard to prevent potential conflicts or food-related incidents. This helps maintain a peaceful environment for you and your dog to enjoy. 3. **Report Hazards Immediately**: If you notice any hazards in the backyard, such as sharp objects, toxic plants, or holes in the fence, please report them immediately. Your prompt action helps ensure a safe environment for all. 4. **Mind the Gate**: Always ensure that the gate is securely closed behind you to prevent your dog from escaping and ensure their security within the enclosed space. 5. **Know Your Dog's Limits**: Understand your dog's abilities and limitations, especially when it comes to navigating the hill. Take extra caution if your dog is not accustomed to steep terrain or has any physical limitations. 6. **Clean Up After Your Dog**: Always clean up after your dog by promptly disposing of their waste. This helps keep the space clean and hygienic for your enjoyment. 7. **Provide Adequate Water**: Ensure there is always fresh water available for your dog, especially on hot days or during physical activity. Proper hydration is essential for their health and well-being. 8. **Protect Fruits and Vegetables**: Please refrain from allowing your dog to interact with the fruit and vegetable plants in the middle of the backyard. These plants require protection to thrive, and keeping dogs away helps preserve the garden for future enjoyment. Please apply the same rules to the compost bin. 9. **No Climbing for Owners, Dogs Allowed**: We kindly request that owners refrain from climbing the hill, but dogs are permitted if they are physically capable. This rule ensures safety for all while allowing dogs to enjoy the space to their fullest extent.
