55We had a great time. The yard was totally fenced so our dog could not escape. The pool was nice and big with steps to help us teach our dog to swim. There were plenty of pool and ground toys and even sun screen in case you forgot your own. Peggy L.

55Lovely, large yard with lots of room to play. Dogs were barking on the other side of the fence while we were in the yard and also visible through a fence and barking when we parked. Occasional planes flying overheard. Generally a quiet neighborhood. The pool was clean and we had a great time! Lindsey N.

55My first time visiting a sniff spot. Due to renovation of our backyard my Malinios were desperately missing their pool. Found this spot seven minutes from me. Spot was clean and welcoming with toys left out. Best of all the pool was clean, in great condition and safe so they could enjoy. Owners never came out but were home which was something I was a little nervous about given my Mals can be protective. I was a little hesitant utilizing a sniff spot but figured as long as we were respectful of their property then we would be ok. Overall the experience was great and much needed just not sure for anyone seeing two large Mals in their backyard! I highly recommend this spot.
Thank you to the hosts as my Kairo a former Police dog really needed to get his swimming in. Gloria J.

55Clean backyard, had lots of toys to play with, shaded areas to sit. This was my first sniff spot and my Dogs loved it, they were scared to get fully in the water but enjoyed it. Keep in mind to use the pool is an extra charge. Overall enjoyed my time Gianna G.

55Great spot for play date and hanging out with your pup!they have everything, it’s clean and easy to get to and find. There was some diarrhea left behind possibly from another dog. With pups and viruses a hose down after visits would be nice but not much of a complaint just suggestion! Thank you for hosting and sharing your space!Jordyn F.

FAQ about our Santa Ana small dog parks
Are small 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 are 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 park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Santa Ana?
There are 212 small dog parks in the Santa Ana area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot 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.
How much do Sniffspot small dog parks cost?
Small dog parks in the Santa Ana area range from $2.0 and $100.0. The least expensive small dog park is Dominique's Private Dog Park In Paramount. The most expensive small dog park is Jonathan's Private Dog Park In Riverside. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
Can I have an event or party at a small dog park?
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties 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. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
