55Nice spot to let my dogs get some steam off. They enjoyed sniffing around! Reyna provide water for both human and dogs and toys! The place is very quite and there’s great privacy! My youngest is fearful reactive so I hope she didn’t bother too much when she was barking at noises that she’s not used to hear (and because we were in a new place). Shut out to Reyna because I was late due to traffic and she offered to let us stay the full hour. Silvia B.

55My Apollo had so much fun in this Spot! All the little touches like the water and greeting posted when you walk in…just the cutest!! My pup got a crazy case of the zoomiez and loved every single toy she had out. Reyna can def coach other new hosts on how to make folks feel welcome!!! 💕🍁🎃🐶Chrissy B.

55This spot was perfect for my two pups (55 and 80 pounds) to get some energy out and wrestle around. Lots of good smells and enough space for them to chase each other around. Reyna was the best host ever, and put out water for both dogs and humans. Reyna also had lots of toys for the dogs, and even let us stay a little late because we arrived late due to traffic 12/10 spot!!Sam L.

55This is the perfect spot for any dog looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit. I have two pups, one large and one small, and this spot was the perfect size for both of them to get their zooms out. It’s very clean and easily accessible. I highly recommend! Genesis G.

55The yard is super great! I have a reactive dog, and the fence is tall, there are no immediate dog neighbors and no sudden distractions which made it so I could fully just be with my dog without being anxious. Such a gift!

55Terrific visit today. Snow is fun. Carport gave option for dog to regroup. I brought toys and water and had to corale her up to leave. She loved it! Fences are high and private. This is my fave city spot. Teresa R.

55This yard is fully secure with a good fence which is very important with my dog. Plenty of space to run around. There are some stone walkways which is nice when it's wet out. An excellent sniffspot!Stephanie D.

FAQ about our River Grove 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.
