There is plenty for the pups to sniff, watch, and play with here. Beau especially loved the big sticks, while I enjoyed the beauty and peacefulness of this spot.

navi had lots of fun running around, it certainly does get very muddy after rain and snow so if your dog is running like mine they will most likely slip! mine slipped and rolled ALLL over the dirt, she had showered the day before but already needed another shower haha. come before shower day maybe? the backyard is not 1/2 acre, a bit smaller maybe 0.35-0.4 of an acre. still plenty of room to run just smaller than expected. lovely place very clean, would recommend and hope to return another time.

Convenient urban location. Spacious. Lots of grass. No gaps. Easy access. Dogs were happy! (I forgot to snap a photo there… our first time using this site. Photo is of our tired dogs when they got home.)

We used this spot to let our dog run around after a flight landing at O'Hare. Just what we needed!

Nice spot. Tons of room for my younger dog to burn off energy and lots of great sniffs to keep my senior dog enriched!

It was our second time visiting and had yet another amazing time! Easy access to the yard, fully fenced with no gaps. Pup loved frolicking around.

The property is just as advertised. It's a 1/2 acre family backyard. It has a jungle gym, shed and small patio furniture, which our 2 girls loved chasing each other around. Street parking is very easy. Easy in/out of the yard. We now have 2 completely exhausted dogs sound asleep on the couch.

What a GORGEOUS yard! As a gardener who lives in a condo and only has a small 10x4 garden, I am incredibly jealous! My dog had a great time sniffing and exploring, and sitting in the shaded areas lol we will definitely be back! Thank you so much!!

Our city dogs had so much fun! A nice Sniffspot only 30 mins away from the city. Pretty clean and tons of grass space for the dogs to roam. Hopefully the dogs can try out the pool in the summer :)

Emily was super accommodating of a last minute time change. Nice sized yard with lots of interesting things to sniff and good sticks. Looks out on a nice creek. Slightly muddy in the center of the yard after a few days of raining - not a problem for us. Can hear the metra passing from the yard but not too loud.

Very spacious yard and well fenced that our dog was able to roam freely! I really liked the extra amenities we were able to use as well. Definitely recommend this place!

We had an absolutely fantastic time here. We recently adopted a rescue and wanted to give her a nice treat and allow her to run around safely. She spent every one of those 60 minutes having the time of her live. We will certainly be back. It was safe and secure, plenty of room for running and fetch. Loooootssss of spots to smell.

FAQ about our Elmhurst 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.
