55Great spot! My dog absolutely loved it…
55Great large yard, plenty of from to run around and play!
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. ☆
55Great spot!
55We had fun!
55Perfect little oasis for my pup to stretch out his legs and enjoy the nice weather. Thank you, Anne!
55Toys and water were set out for our pups! the yard was clean and great for running and playing! Loved it
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 :)
55Anne’s yard was wonderful! Plenty of room for a big dog to run and play. She also left balls, sticks, and water out for my dog which was such a thoughtful touch. Thanks, Anne!
55Great backyard! easy access, secured, all fenced in besides one smaller opening near the back, next to the alley that I had to stand in front of at one point as people walked by but otherwise totally fine. No other dogs or people passed by. Peaceful and quiet area. Host provided water bowl (with water already in it), toys, and sticks to use.

Location

Chicago, Illinois

Description

Welcome! Our location features a large yard and easy street parking. There is no garage, allowing for lots of space for your pet to run! The yard is fully fenced. In the spring and summer, humans and dogs can enjoy the view of the perennial butterfly garden that lines the yard.🌿 Feel free to use the black garbage cans in the alley to dispose of bagged waste. Easy and free street parking **We strive to keep our yard clean for our family and yours. Please note that in the case of same day or late night scheduling, we will likely not have the ability to do a pre visit walkthrough to ensure that the yard is 100% poop free When we catch the reservation in time and are available, we are ON IT! We have an abundance of city bunnies that play in our gardens at night and you might see some evidence of their travels through our yard. We do our best to stay on top of bunny pellets. Thank you for your understanding! We love hosting and do our best to make it a pleasant experience

Hi! We are a pug family and lovers of all animals. We welcome you and your furry fam to our (sometimes overgrown 😊) backyard oasis. Plenty of sniffs and exercise to be had here.

Notice: We are closing the spot on May 23rd for maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience. Grass and rain: Please keep in mind that during moderate to heavy rains the area without mulch can get muddy. Beginning May of 2024, we will post pictures daily to our Instagram account showing the condition of the spot. As you can imagine, due to the wear and tear the spot gets, it’s difficult to keep the grass alive. However, we do our best to reseed during the spring. BarkPark sits right across the street from The Salvation Army Freedom Center. This spot is fully fenced (chain link and wood) with the side facing the sidewalk being 5ft and the rest of the fence being 6ft. There is a dual-gate entrance to the spot for a safe entry and exit. Street parking is available. There is plenty of seating at this spot with shade throughout the day. There's a rain barrel filled with water for dogs to hydrate and cool down. We have water bowls available. GIANT sandbox that's great for digging and playing; no digging elsewhere please. On hot days, we do our best to keep the sand wet. Trash can onsite. We have poop bags available in two different areas for easy access. Half of this spot is covered with grass and the other half with playground mulch. This spot is big enough to get a good fetch session in or to just let the zoomies out. We also recently added agility equipment. We hope you and your four-legged friend/s have an exceptional time during your visit and choose to come back. Lost toys and items: Due to the amount of visits we get we aren’t able to track which items belong to which guest. If you’ve lost a dog toy or other item, please reach out and we’ll do our best to retrieve it and hold it for you. If you don’t reach out, we’ll hold onto it for a week and then add it to the Lost and Found Toy Box. Water: The dog drinking water gets changed 1-2 times per week, depending on the temperature/usage. During the winter months we empty the water barrel. If your dog/s require water during the winter months, we ask that you please bring your own. Food: You’re welcomed to bring food but we ask that you please clean up as a courtesy to other guests. Future additions: We hope to add more amenities over time. Our plans are to add more sand to the sandbox in late April or early May of 2024. We’re also hoping to have on-site parking around mid summer of 2024. If you have any suggestions for amenities, we’d love to hear your feedback.
