55Easy to find and clear parking. There are so many trails to explore as well as a pond. It was my one of dog’s first time swimming- I didn’t even think he liked the water (we’ve had him for 3 years!). There are lots of horses and pretty flowers too. It was a beautiful day and we will be back! Jennifer P.

55This place was amazing! The trails were well mowed and the whole property was clean and well maintained. Suzanne greeted us and gave us tips and also had water and bug spray available to use. All of the horses were so friendly and calm. It was our city dog’s first time seeing horses and she was a little scared at first but made friends quickly! Looking forward to using our farm fresh eggs this week!!Lindsay T.

55This spot is perfect for us! It is entirely fenced in (I've walked the perimeter), it's affordable, and there's plenty of room to run around. We don't have a yard, so being able to let them run around makes my heart happy! It's a great neutral space for introducing dogs to each other as well!Michelle V.

55First time using sniff spot. Great place!
My dog is dog reactive, so it worked out great that we didn’t run into other dogs there. The dogs barking from the kennels made him slightly nervous when we got there, but he got used to it fast and I think was actually good for him.
Overall good experience. Steve S.

55A+ host and beautiful property for us and our dogs to enjoy! Loved getting farm fresh eggs, too. Exploring the forested areas, letting the dogs swim in the pond, and enjoying the trails was a great trip outside of the city. Suzanne was incredibly pleasant and keeps a wonderful and beautiful property! The horses were cool, too and were curious about us. Would come again for sure! Lindsay M.

FAQ About Yorkville 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. 6% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Yorkville 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 500 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 724 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
