55Very great place to play, unfortunately my pup hated the water but that’s nobodies fault! I’d bring my dog back 1,000,000 times if he was comfy in water! Will be back for hanging with other dogs and friends. Jacob S.

55Our dogs had a lot of fun here! The yard was very clean and well maintained.
Note that a dog was visible on the other side of the chain fence. Since our dogs are scared of other dogs, this caused them to freak out a bit but they calmed down once they realized how chill she was.Ali M.

FAQ About Chicago 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. 7% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Chicago 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 592 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 867 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
