55This place was so cool! Araceli was a great host and really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome at her place. She provided snacks and drinks and even gave us fresh eggs from her chickens! We celebrated our dog Koda’s 3rd birthday here and he had blast playing in the yard, barking at her turkey and swimming in the pool. She also had an agility area so there’s something for everyone. Even though we came for Koda, her backyard was amazing and made for a really cool place to hang out. We will definitely be back again soon!Kazi M.

55The most amazing spot. We went to celebrate my husky turning 3 and he spent most of the time in and out of the pool and exploring the beautiful space. Thank you Araceli for your kindness and for making my baby’s birthday the best ever! Lauren S.

55The dogs loved it. They mostly spend time in the pond area and by the turkey. There were plenty of amenities like poop scooper, hose to rinse off the dogs, water bowls and even toys. When we got there, Araceli showed us around real quick and was super friendly. Highly recommend this spot. Meera K.

55A super secure and fun place to socialize your dog with farm animals and expose them to exciting new environments. Great place for off leash training with lots of different distractions Justin L.

55We had such a great time! We had six dogs and six people. The doggies had a lot of room to run and explored the pool and the cute pond area! We also had a picnic under a tree while dogs played. The host was super friendly and had great communication. We drove over 1hr for this Sniffspot and it was totally worth it. Thank you again for having us!Joanne L.

55We had so much fun, and the dogs had a blast! They have been sleeping since we got home, two hours ago 🤣. What an amazing experience, and the host is so kind! There is so much to do, and see, and explore. We were all fascinated with the chickens, turkeys and ducks, and my dogs loved the little creek. We will be back for sure! Adelina C.

55Our visit here was wonderful. Hercules and Athena loved running around exploring and even went in the pool for the first time ever. Hercules was a little apprehensive of the statue at first but once he realized it wasn’t trying to attack him he was all good 😅. They had a great time and are definitely ready for a long nap. We will definitely be back soon Karla C.

55Very cute stay. Our dogs were a little startled and overly interested in the birds (turkey, chickens) so spent quite a bit of time barking at them but they had a blast. Swam a bit and had fun running around. Thanks !Audrey T.

55What a wonderful park! Our lovely host Araceli greeted us on arrival & showed us through the park. My active husky dog has never been so excited at a dog park, so much to explore from the the pond to the stream to the birds. Very clean & safely fenced. Definitely will be back often!Shirley C.

55Easy location to find. Araceli texted instructions soon after booking and met me upon arrival, offering a quick highlight of the property. I enjoyed watching my dogs have a great time. They kept busy the entire hour, exploring, sniffing, running, checking out the chickens and I was surprised how at ease they were seeing them in the coop. The property was clean, plenty of areas to sit and have shade. Araceli had left eggs and dog treats for us on the picnic table, and two water bowls for the dogs. My dogs loved all the water resources. My husband and I appreciated the level ground. At our age, following dogs up and down hills can be exhausting. Plenty of space! We'll definitely be back. Hoping dogs will try the pool next time. They just sniffed it today, but they loved the other water features. Thank you Araceli. I also loved the easy entrance. A simple door to a receiving room, then out another door to Adventureland.Dorecca S.

FAQ about our Thermal 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Thermal 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 49 fully fenced dog parks in the area.

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.
