55A great spot not far from campus. Very tall and secure privacy fence with a solid gate. Plenty of space for zoomies. My Apollo enjoyed the sticks he found and was able to reunite with my daughter before our Thanksgiving holiday. We’ll be back for sure! Chrissy B.

55This spot was perfect for my reactive dog. It's quiet, there was no traffic on Bradley (maybe 1 car drove by), but it was far enough away my pup wasn't too bothered. We took toys with us to entertain her. Overall a great experience and we will likely make this is a weekly outing. Serenity O.

55Felipe had a great time here! The host was understanding about our last-minute reservation, and this SniffSpot was the right choice. Our pup spent at least the first 20 minutes running around, enjoying the smells! This backyard is more spacious than we expected, and it was comfortable and inviting for the humans, too. Definitely will come back!Tori D.

55Came back with Tulip and she had just as much fun as the first time! She had a lot of fun sniffing in the fall leaves and it’s a good amount of room for her to play fetch and run around but not get too out of control. Alina S.

55What a great yard! Lots of space, lots to sniff, quiet and private. It was very easy to enter and exit the space. My reactive dog was so happy to have the open space to himself. I’m thrilled to have it as an option. Thank you! a m.

55We see a LOT of Sniffspots. And every one is different. But there must be some Zoomie energy in this yard bc Apollo speeds around this space every time. It’s so fun to watch!!Chrissy B.

55My three dogs LOVE it here. The owner keeps the fence and field in perfect condition. I love that they do not mow some of the grass and weeds right by the fence because the dogs sniff their little hearts out there. Bring a blanket for a picnic and have a great time!!! Safe, quiet, perfect.A. Maria D.

55Sucha cute space! My dog loved sniffing and romping around. Plenty of space to throw toys or play chase. Bonus for birdwatchers like myself - during our rest periods we'd just watch the birds hang out! :) Christine O.

55Tulip and I haven’t been here in a while but she absolutely loves it every time!! Plenty of room to run and interesting things to smell. It’s lovely having some shade from the nice big trees so she can take a little break in the shade after running. Alina S.

FAQ About Champaign 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. 24% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Champaign 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 27 fully fenced dog parks in the area.

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.
