Was a short trip from SCV. Don’t turn at the rock with the address just keep going straight per the directions. The agility area was so much fun. Nice area. All 6 dogs had a blast. There was water on site in kiddy pool. The creek is to the left of the course and the dogs loved jumping through it. The orchard is huge. We will be back.

Had a wonderful time! My sweet girl got to explore the agility area as well as the paths around the citrus trees. She was too pooped to go for the creek this time, but the water looked lovely and we’ll check it out next time. Thank you!

We visited this Fillmore location for the first time . We did not know what to expect and we were pleasantly surprised and pleased with our experience! Our 2 year old Husky/ Shepherd/Border Collier mix needs lots of exercise and this place was a hit. My dog bolted out into the large play area as soon as he was off his leash! We went into the agility area and I was extremely surprised how easily he took to all of structures. So glad it was there for him to gain confidence. The walk along the orange trees was a treat for him to wander up and down the aisles. He happily greeted a few of the dogs boarded at the end of the property. When the hour was over he didn’t want to leave! LOL. Like a kid at Disneyland!😊

Great location to let your pups run free! Lots of space and toys. My Lab tried the agility course and actually enjoyed it! I will return

My dogs had an amazing time here! It is such a big area for them to run around freely and not worry about other dogs or people around. My boys are super friendly but we’ve delt with aggressive dogs at dog parks so i feel so much safer not having to worry about that. I definitely recommend and will be coming back!! thank you Karen!!

My dog Clara had a blast here. She wasn’t too sure about the agility course, but after some practice she got really comfortable jumping the hurdles and running through the ramps. We checked out the creek too but it was mostly dry and we didn’t walk far enough to see water. We hope to come back soon after the rains. The only thing I would note is that the agility course is a little worn down and dusty but still functional.

We had the best time today at this beautiful, tucked in property. You’re surrounded by mountains and orange trees and a creek, what more could you want?! The fenced in dog run and agility area are great and the easy to find trash bins we’re much appreciated. My dog was so happy and napped for hours afterwards! Will for sure be back!

Beautiful property with vast space for your dog to run and agility equipment to play on. My dog had a blast getting out her zoomies and we are excited to return to this amazing sniffspot!!

Beautiful property for dogs and humans. We enjoyed the pleasant scent of citrus flower all around. You want to wear a good pair of water shoes to enjoy the creek even more.

Stephanie K.

Very clean and large fenced spots which the dogs enjoyed running around in. Then down to the creek to splash and sniff a bit. Decent shoes with good traction help.

Victoria H.

April 2023

Amazing spot! Would recommend to book for minimum of 2 or more hours if you don’t mind getting wet with your pups! The creek was beautiful and our 5 dogs spent the entire 2 hours playing in the water. Plan to come back as soon as we can!

My dogs had an amazing time here again! We walked down to the creek and it was absolutely beautiful. There is no better sniffspot around us than this one!

Great spot! Will definitely be booking again. Parking was a bit confusing but we figured it out. Basically just keep going down dirt road until it curves right. Easy creek access is on the far side of the property from the parking lot (walk past the fenced area and towards the left).

One of the best days I’ve had with my dogs in a while. Totally worth the drive from LA. Fenced arenas are huge and the creek was a major hit with my Spaniel. Grateful to have enjoyed such a special place.

This spot is absolutely gorgeous and my dog had so much fun fetching sticks from the creek and rolling in the sand in the pen! There were chuck it balls and throwers provided which my dog loved. The owner was super helpful and responsive to messages and I found it really easy to get to the parking area and creek when following her instructions. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! Thanks for the awesome visit!

Our boys had so much fun here! There’s two fenced in yards one with sand and the other with an agility course! The creek was another awesome perk but it is hard to get to. Be careful getting down.

Django had lots of fun, the agility set was awesome and he really enjoyed doing the jumps, tunnel and A frame for his frisbee. Since it’s summer it’s pretty dry and buggy so I think this spot would be a lot more fun during spring when it’s greener and cooler. You can see the Kangal shepherd from the agility ring and some of the border collies kennels and horse from the orange orchard so if your dog doesn’t do well seeing and hearing other dogs and animals this may not be an ideal spot for them. Overall a great spot, just wasn’t the best time of year to come I think.

Doggos and I had a great time. Easy access to the location and we were able to find the creek and spend majority of the time there. the hour went by quick! we didn’t get to explore everything but will definitely be coming back to do so! great place for my reactive dog. we did see what i’m assuming is the livestock guard dog after we parked but the doggo wasn’t an issue. he was calm and collective 🙂

FAQ About Santa Barbara Dog Parks
