What people say about dog parks around East Chicago, Indiana

December 2021

Paytons Playground was awesome!! It was such a nice place for my high energy dog to run around freely, which is hard to find in Chicago without going to the dog park. The area is very secure and it was amazing to see my dog build confidence (very quickly!) with the agility courses. It is close to the L train, but after a few minutes, my dog quickly became use to it. I would definitely recommend this spot as a place to truly enjoy your pup without worry! I’m thankful for the space :)

Clean and spacious playground! My friends and I brought our puppies there and we had a lot of fun!! Our puppies had enough outdoor space to run around and we don’t need to worry about that they will get overwhelmed in the dog parks. Will definitely come back again in the near future.

This is an incredible spot. It’s always well maintained, extremely safe, and such a pleasure to visit. Tara makes the visits seamless as well. Thank you Tara & Pupstars!

What an awesome spot! With so few Chicago spots available and all the mud, what a treat to find this clean, mud-free haven for our dog to run around. We forgot our tennis ball but will def bring it next time.

I live in an apartment so it was great seeing my dog run free. He also loved the agility courses. Very seamless, will be back again!

We love this spot! It was a perfect space for us to play around in the sunshine. Our dog Winnie was very happy!

Jessica P.

April 2022

It was a great spot! We will definitely be back. With that being said there was quiet a bit of garbage/debris in the area. We have puppies so it made it a little tough for us. If you have bigger dogs it shouldn’t be an issue!

Great spot for a small/medium dog that needs to run off some energy! The activities were so fun for my pup!

Beautiful spot. Well maintained, spacious, clean. Really a great experience. Tara is very responsive when I needed to reach out. Really just a fantastic day overall. Thank you Tara!

Really nice facility. My dogs were super happy. The one, maybe a little too happy (excited he could hear dogs on the other side of the fence).

Holly L.

April 2022

My dogs had a BLAST!!! The agility pieces were so fun and there was still plenty of room for fetch and frisbee. Yes, the train is loud but thankfully my dogs didn’t care at all. We will be back!

I always have trouble with the gate but one of the employees rescued me! Thank you! Best spot on Sniffspot.

Super cool space and very spacious! Was perfect to introduce my new puppies to some different platforms and work on gaining confidence. Don’t forget to bring a dog bowl to fill with water!

The playground was clean and had plenty of room for our dog to run. I was happy that it was secure and no way for our dog to escape. He's kind of an escape artist..had lots of equipment for our dog to play on plus the playground had several balls to use. The running water with a dog bowl was the perfect touch. I would recommend and go to the playground again.

This is my favorite Sniffspot I've found so far! It's springtime, and while all other places I go with my pup are a muddy mess, this spot was so clean and dry due to the astrotuf ground. (You can also tell that the astroturf has been set up to properly aerate.) A heads up- this location is right under the train tracks and off of a busy street. This did not bother my dog, but may be overwhelming for pups not used to the city.

Super fun spot! My dog loved the agility equipment! The staff was super helpful when I couldn’t figure out the gate code 😂 We will definitely be back!

Ellie Q.

May 2022

This was our first time using sniffspot and I'm SO HAPPY. We'll definitely be coming back with Luna! The space was engaging for her, plenty of room to zoom, and lots of equipment to try out. It seems like a doggie daycare operates next door so there may be dogs in the next yard depending on when you go.

Karen M.

May 2022

So much fun! My dog Kaiser had a blast with all the equipment and balls to chase. So nice to have a safe, leash-free area for him to enjoy in the city.

Sarah K.

May 2022

Very easy to enter and high quality facility! There was a daycare running at the same time as our reservations so dogs were on the other side of the (tall, opaque) fence but they were very quiet and didn’t bother our reactive dogs at all. Will visit again!

FAQ about our East 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.

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.
