55This sniff spot is awesome! Fully fenced in all the way around - suitable for small dogs like our corgi! She had the best time running around, rolling around, and hanging out under the trees! 😊Natalie G.

55Nice spot to run your dogs. Clean and secure. Make sure you bring extra water if you go in the afternoon on a hot summer day. They had two chairs to rest in the shade, which was very nice. Erin Z.

55My dogs loved the space. They have never had free reign to a piece of land this large and they practically had no idea what to do with themselves.
On top of the great space for the dogs, it turns out to be a great space for birding also, being adjacent to the forest preserve. I saw eastern bluebirds, redheaded woodpeckers, Carolina wrens, among others.
I booked a two hour window so I happened to be out for long enough to see the day care dogs get to go out in their play yard. My dogs were too tired/focused on other things to care about the other dogs, but I can see that being a little annoying for dog reactive dogs. As long as you can move yours away from that fence, you will probably be good. Michelle M.

55large amazing place. whenever me and my dog would run, she'd match my pace usually so i thought that was how fast she ran. but wow was i wrong! she could run to her hearts content here, she has so much fun 🥹. only downside was that our time was from 3pm to 4pm and lots of dogs were getting picked up at 4pm from the boarding, so that was stressful since there was lots of pulling ! she would also try to go into the woodsy spots which would stress me a bit since i worried she would get hurt, she did get in once but she was fine luckily.

55This was our 3rd time visiting Sweet Paws private dog park. Our dogs had a great time. I suggest you wear sneakers or boots--no sandals or flip flops--because there's a patch of thorny thistle behind the wood pile towards the back of the property. Despite that, this is an awesome spot, and we will continue visiting with our dogs.Estrellita U.

55Great spot! Plenty of room to run and sniff. Easy to access. You can hear several dogs on the way from the parking lot to the space but not much once you're in the fenced in area. Bring bug spray if gnats bother you. Amanda P.

55I booked an evening visit the morning of as I was traveling cross country with my pups and needed to stop somewhere to let them stretch their legs. I was very grateful for the same day accommodation.
The spot itself was great: fully fenced, plenty of space for the dogs to run & explore, and had two lawn chairs near the entrance to sit in while the pups played. I would definitely recommend this spot to a friend.Cass S.

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. 7% 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 488 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 712 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby.
