55Loki and I had such a fun-filled afternoon at the Brown’s Bark Park! I especially enjoyed having a shady spot to sit while Loki got to roam around. Very clean and easy to access! We will definitely be return customers! 🐾Courtney P.

55Huge yard, fully fenced. Plenty of shade (and some sun spots too). Good mix of room to run but also tree/bush areas for exploring/sniffing. Neighbors have a husky, but doggie never even made a sound and was very docile at the fence line (usually my reactive dog is the first to start something at a fence line, but she didn’t make a sound either - a super sweet neighbor dog). Host was very communicative and left water bowls for dogs, poop bags/trash can. And human drinks too. We will be back!Bridget C.

55Willow had a great time running around and exploring at Brown’s Bark Park! Lots of sights and sounds to explore here and nice amenities. Hopefully next time she’ll take advantage of them like explore the wading pool a little more and play with some of the toys. The dogs next door were out in their yard and Willow had a through the fence meet and greet without issue. It was a great experience and she is exhausted!Terese K.

55Very nice yard! Lots of bushes and beautiful flowers for the dogs to sniff, it was cooler than expected but the kiddie pool is an excellent feature to have. Reyna was helpful and responsive! Will return Kayleigh E.

55First time renting a sniff spot! I was very happy with the baby pool offered, especially because it was so hot it was nice for my dog to be able to cool down in between bursts of energy. The yard was big enough for my girl to run around, get her zoomies out, and do some formal agility training. It’s a little far from my apartment but we will be back because the price was great!Quinn G.

55Great spot! Communicative host and lots of toys and activities for the dogs. We’ll be back on a slightly less scorching hot day to take advantage of it all! There is a pool to keep doggies cool on hot days mine are just not into water. :) Cara L.

55We had a great time in Cholula’s Backyard! My foster is getting used to the city sounds and smells and we needed a private place for some fun and some work together. It’s a really nice sized space with agility equipment, a bucket of toys and even waters for the humans. Thank you so, so much. Exactly what we needed. Megan S.

55Such a fun and beautiful yard! No other dogs or people are visible, there are toys, a fun pool and even an obstacle course. They posted a sign for our Nana because we were celebrating her gotcha day :’) truly a special place! Stephanie G.

55I love that there’s shady areas, there’s a place for humans to sit and relax while the dogs play. Easy to get into and plenty of space for dogs to run. The sprinklers were great to cool off and not just for the dogs. 😅 very unique space and fun to see our dogs be curious with the other animalsMargarita J.

55Cool spot that really felt like a mini farm / country oasis right in the city. There was parking right infront of the farm entrance (convenient) and a few different seating areas for humans including a fire pit. The yard is well maintained, fenced in with plenty of area for the pups to run. The owners provided treats, poop bags, water bowls & had a sprinkler fixture set up for the pups to cool down / play with. The animals are very polite and friendly - one goat even booped noses with my pup! I think it’s a great that we have a new SniffSpot site added to downtown Chicago!! There was some farm gear around the patio and at the back of the property, but it didn’t interfere at all with my experience and is to be expected at a farm ☺️Lauren K.

55BarkPark was a perfect first Sniff Spot experience! Parking was easy, the yard was nice & secure, & the availability of water for the dogs was awesome! My pups loved all of the toys available for a great hour of play. We will definitely be returning!! Gina P.

55Well maintained and nice yard! Would definitely visit again.
One thing to note (and maybe it’s just the time of year, coming off winter), but the yard is mostly wood chips and minimal grass. The picture looks like a lot more grass than it is. This means our dog was a lot dustier and dirtier than I’d planned for her to be, after we were done playing. Ashley T.

55This is a great Sniffspot! Secure entrance/exit and perfectly maintained. It’s got a wood chip + grass run along with a sandpit and some agility gear. There’s a Salvation Army shelter across the street so depending on the time you might see the folks that use that facility lining up outside that building. robert w.

FAQ about our Broadview 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. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Broadview 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 383 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 50 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.
