55My dog had the best of times today.
When we first drove up and I saw such a beautifully manicured lawn I thought we were at the wrong house because who would want dogs running on all that hard work, lol.
Its a beautiful spot with plenty of space for a dog to run around and play. My girl certainly got her exercise today.
And it was a nice and relaxing spot for me to sit and watch when I wasn't throwing a ball.
Communication with the host was top notch. They were receptive and replied to my initial question almost immediately.
We look forward to returning. Rafaella G.

55Such a fun space! It was so nice to see toys and some water left out for my pup and she had so much fun sniffing and running. A very hospitable, well kept yard :)Alex M.

55So pleased again with our experience at Anne's. Our dogs feel athletic and uninhibited from the get-go, and when they're thirsty, a bowl of fresh water awaits. They also consider the array of sticks to be a personalized treat. And I'm always grateful to see poop bags waiting. One of these days I'm going to forget my roll and will need them. We were relieved to know that in today's case, a little flexibility with the start/end times would be possible. We only left when we did cuz the pooches found a tuft of grass they wouldn't stop eating! We'll be back. ☆Roxane A.

FAQ about our Wilmette 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.
