55You're the best Araceli! I love that it can be 90+ degrees and it's still a perfect day to visit your place because of all the shaded seating and tree areas and water areas for your guests and dogs. I was a little worried about bringing my mom out in the heat, but she was comfortable and loved the property.
This is a fun, safe place to beat the heat with your loved ones and fur babies!Dorecca S.

55We had another blessed time here! Araceli is a gracious, kind host, truly with a heart to give her guests and dogs the best experience. I noticed a few additions since my last visit - the agility course, and for humans - horseshoes, and the cutest tic-tac-toe table game! My dogs did get a dip in the pool in the arms of my daughter, but still were fraidy cats. I'll keep trying! Thank you Araceli for your 5-Star hospitality, snacks & eggs. You're the Best!!!Dorecca S.

55My puppy’s LOVED this place! The owner is sweet and very hospitable. The only thing is that I wish I had booked 2 hours instead of 1. 💀 my dogs couldn’t get enough of the amenities here. Elsa 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.

55Would leave more stars if I could! We REALLY enjoyed our time here! Araceli was an exceptional host. The pool was great and there was a lot of space for the pups to roam and explore. She greeted us to make sure we found our way and were comfortable. She also left treats for us to enjoy! Will definitely return in the future! Clarissa H.

55Such a great spot to bring your dog! It was our pup’s first time going to a pool and he wasn’t so interested. However, he was still so entertained! He loved the birds and running around playing fetch. We were able to swim in the pool and Araceli was so kind! I definitely recommend to anyone needed a place for their pup to run.Monique G.

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.

55Another wonderful visit. Maya loves jumping in the pool, Joey likes to wade in the stream, Bonnie spends the hour running and sniffing all the scents. I personally love the hour of relaxation and quietly sitting in the shade. Araceli is the best host leaves out snacks and water.Cheryl W.

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.

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 56 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 7 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. 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.
