The K9 Plunge @The K9 Corridor 20x40 Dock diving pool (YES its in the city) | Sniffspot
55This is a great spot for dogs who enjoy water activities but need some privacy! My dog isn't really friendly with other dogs, and doesn't exactly fancy herself much of a dock diver, but she's curious enough about water that this was a perfect place for her to explore and enjoy and build up her confidence with swimming. We brought our own life jacket and toys but there were plenty there available. They had a water bowl but I couldn't seem to find fresh water, so we'll make a note in the future to bring our own drinking water for her. The turf area is also great for some dry land activity and the dock and pool were in really great shape. My dog also struggles with pool ramps sometimes, but this one was easy for her to navigate (good angle, grips, etc). Overall a really great spot!Sarah H.

55Great spot! Loved the pool and my Dane got in and did a lap- which is a nod to the ease of getting in/out. He preferred to use the stairs but was nice to have the ramp option too!Angela M.

55This pool is awesome - and huge! Jackson was a bit too timid to jump into the water, but we had fun trying! He also had a great time splashing around in the small pool. We will definitely be back!Jayme K.

55Great place to work on swimming! Only “would love” is that there would be more of a gradual ramp to get in/out for those less confident pups still learning. The pool was super clean and it was a great space to hang out! Ashley O.

55Fantastic! Great pool and setup. Everything was super clean, and there was ample space to play with my dog when he wanted a break from swimming. We brought our own, but it was a nice touch that life jackets and pool toys were available on deck. We’ll definitely be back!Patricia C.

FAQ About Chicago 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. 8% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Chicago 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 572 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 848 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.
