55We love coming here! It’s great for my two reactive pups who need to get some energy out without having to be on the lookout for other dogs. It’s always clean and quiet, and there is always parking! Erin F.

55We had a great time! There was enough room for our dog to run around and some equipment to have her try out! The wading pool was her favorite on the hot day we went! Anne I.

55Super great! Parking is easy and the access was straightforward, just as instructions said. Plenty of space for a 2 dog booking and the pool with a hose for fresh water was a great option for a summer day. Would recommend!!Kelly C.

55Clean and large space for our little guy. He had a blast trying new things to jump through and enjoy. Establishment near premises was also very kind and friendly, glad this was our first Sniffspot experience!Liz R.

55Very secure area and easy check-in. Lots of different play equipment and plenty of room. It was very hot while we were there and there’s not a ton of shade so would not recommend on a super hot day. The space is great!Abbey E.

55Super clean, secure and easy to access. This was our first time here and my pup Leo absolutely loved it. The large running space was perfect as well as the location. I will be booking again. 😊Thalia M.

55Fun space with water, pool and a couple agility obstacles. There is one small “pot hole” in the grass but it’s clearly marked off with a cone and didn’t interfere with her play. The L runs right next to the space but not terrible and pup was used it very quickly; also a nice way to get them familiar with the noise. Lots of benches to relax on!Aras & Zoya D.

55Very fun spot for our active pup! He loved the agility equipment. The hose was super convenient for filling up his bowl and cleaning any messes. It is right next to a yard for the daycare so there are dogs on the other side of the fence but they were pretty quiet.Nia G.

55A great spot for your dog to run around and play. Today was a little warmer because the sun was directly hitting us which for a husky isn’t fun. The green line goes right by which wasn’t ideal for my dog but once he was acclimated all went well. Will definitely visit again. Flor T.

55Fence along the street isn’t fully private but thankfully it is on the side that’s shared with the dog daycare play lot! A group came out to play next door while we were there, which was distracting for my reactive dog but since he couldn’t see them it was fine.
Plenty of room to zoom or jump on the agility equipment! Jamie R.

55This is by far my two pups’ favorite spot to run around and play for an hour! We love the fact they use turf, and there’s a kiddie pool you can fill up with a couple inches of water from the hose on those hot summer days. Love Payton’s Playground and how clean it always is!Matthew C.

55The playground was clean and easy to locate. Loved the fake turf, different obstacles, optional pool, and plenty of sitting area. Glad the door was unlocked remotely at our scheduled time. Our pups had a good time! Definitely will be coming back for more private play time. Nancy V.

FAQ about our Chicago fully fenced dog parks
Are fully fenced dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. Human and animal safety is our #1 focus. Without a private option, many dog owners are relegated to using athletic fields or tennis courts for their dogs, which are not private or safe. 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. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. And with fully fenced Sniffspot parks, you can get the safety of a fenced-in space for dogs, while still having plenty of space to run.
