Want to ramp-up (pun intended) your "hot spot" playtime experience with Paris's Palatial Playground and take it to the next level? Have a pup currently involved in the sport of agility but have no place to practice? Unsure if your pup will like and do well in agility and would like to try it out? Well, here's your solution. Equipment we offer: tunnel, hoop jump, high bar, pause table, and shorten-version ramp. Not bad for an urban spot!
No digging in the yard, please.

Paris's Palatial Playground was perfect for us! Easy to find and park. It was just the right size for our smaller dog. Great communication from host.
Easy to park and find. Great grassy area for running around - plenty of space for good zoomies! The host was so helpful and she left water and toys out for us (in secure bins). This yard is adjacent to the sidewalk, so we could see neighbors and dogs walking by. Our dog and his buddy didn’t mind but just fyi!
Me and my dog Mac had a great time hanging out here. Instructions for getting in were easy and the yard is clean and as described here. We’d love to come back sometime
Great spot - easy to find and access. My dog had a great time running around!
Host replied: So glad your inaugural visit went to your liking! Please return when you can.
Great spot. She filled the kiddie pool for us, clean area. The 4 dogs had a great time!
Host replied: Well, that is a high honor with 4 happy dogs! Glad your first guest visit experience was so positive, Patrick and pups.
Great spot! Perfect space to play fetch and run around. The bin of supplies and toys is very well stocked and clean.
Host replied: Glad your pups are content!
Parking was convenient and the space was perfect! The pool and toys were great additions that my dogs enjoyed.
Host replied: Pool party!
A great spot with just enough space for my dog to have fun playing fetch! The welcome box is great and has many things including toys, wipes, poop bags. There’s also a kiddie pool and while my dog is not a fan of water it’s a great addition for those that do. I would recommend bringing insect repellent though as I did walk out with some bites
Host replied: Oh wow, Cynthia, I had no idea. Wonder if it is the water in the pool attracting them? Thanks for the heads up.
Great spot. The host went above and beyond to provide toys, water and other essentials for a fantastic puppy play time. I will definitely be booking again.
Host replied: So nice of you Shandice. So glad it was agreeable for you!
Great convenient spot to do a quick game of fetch and relax in the shade.
Host replied: Glad to have you Jaimie - come back soon.

I am a long-time dog parent and animal advocate. I decided to start offering our condo building's large fenced yard as an outlet to other dog parents who are not as fortunate to have such a private area in their current home environment situation. Dog parks are simply just not safe any longer and a huge liability for people and the safety of their precious four-legged family members. Inspiration behind my play area name is from my 16-year old princess, Paris.
Notice: We will be closed from January 31st to February 1st for maintenance. We are understand that property has been muddier than usual, so we are adding more playground mulch to spot. Sorry for the inconvenience! 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. 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 allowed elsewhere. 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 visitor. If you’ve lost a dog toy or other item, please reach out and we’ll do our best to retrieve it and save it for you. If you don’t reach out, we’ll add it to the Lost and Found Toy Box. Update: Due to the colder temperatures we won’t be adding dog drinking water until early Spring. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Payton’s playground is a spot where you can spend personal time with your dog by yourself without having to worry about others intruding in on your play session. We have agility equipment, pools, ramps, weaving poles, water bowls and more available at your disposal. It’s a great environment to be in & is directly adjacent to one of the best doggy daycares in Chicago, PupStars Pet Care. Feel free to stop in for a free goodie bag & to ask any questions you might have. Thanks & we’ll see you all soon!
**We have added OPEN reservations from 8:30am to 5:30pm weekdays for people that would like to visit the yard prior to deciding if they would like to become full access Members.** We LOVE sharing our space with multiple dogs from the community however, it is hard on the grass. For this reason, we have limited our evening & weekend availability to Members Only to decrease the wear and tear on the yard. With the fluctuation in weather please be aware: If outdoor parks are wet and muddy ~ areas of our yard will be also. We cannot control the effects of rain. Please always use the provided carabiner to lock the gate as pictured after you and your dog(s) enter. We have installed multiple methods of LIGHTING for evening reservations. Easy instructions for use will be sent when you make the reservation. We do have a SHADE/RAIN SHELTER! :) WATER: We provide fresh water every 24hrs located in(or next to) the CORONA Cooler. PARKING: One FREE private parking space located at the entrance from the alley at the back of the lot. Since some guests were having a tough time with the parking space, we did finally WIDEN the entrance. We park 2 Honda CRV's back there daily without issue. Fully fenced 6 foot secure and private green space. Large open lot with seating and plenty of room to play fetch or just relax off leash. Easy street parking, no permit required. Any Extras will be located in the storage bin on the east wall of the lot. We have evening hours 6:00p to 9:30p for Members Only, 7 days per week.
Fully fenced .12 acre lot in the city! Near the lake.
Update: Bad news: The weather is making the front gate wonky. Sometimes it closes perfectly, sometimes not. There’s a bungie cord to help close it, but if this is a concern for you and your pup, wait a bit until I figure out a good fix. Good news: new adairondak chairs and new toys added! Chairs should hopefully sink less into the dirt and are a bit more loungey. New tug toy and chuck it ball to the box of toys. Large yard right on the river. No access to the river (yard is fully fenced), but human views of the water, ducks, other birds, and wildflowers on the bank. Plenty to sniff for dogs. End of dead end with decent privacy. Chain link fence on most and iron fence at front. Not ideal for small dogs or escape artists that can squeeze under or through fence. See photos for details of fence and if your dog would try to squeeze through. Pesticide, herbicide, and fertilizer free lawn but various flowers, shrubs (and weeds) on the edges. There are 3 big dogs at the house across the alley, but also well fenced. They’re out on occasion, but usually not for long and I can’t guarantee their schedule. The view is mostly, but not completely blocked, so this may not be the place if your pup is super reactive. There are 2 chairs, feel free to move around into sun or shade or lay out a blanket or whatever you need to be comfortable. There is stainless steel water bowl and some toys.
Hello, The entrance is on Lilac Ave. the black 4ft gate. That area can be used for small to medium sized dogs. Medium to large dogs are welcome to the second wood gate. Please push door when coming in. When coming out pull don’t push. Feel green to use the seating and use the water hose. Water bottles are for you to have. I hope you have a wonderful time with your fur baby/s
Note: the yard will be offline from March 18th - April 30. I am having some landscaping done and hoping to restore the grass in time for the summer. Thank you for understanding. See you in May! Fully fenced yard. Guests should park in the driveway as the street is permit only. If there are any issues message me when you arrive!
Our yard is a longer more narrow yard which allows the dogs a little more distance for their runs. There is landscape bordering the fence and a garden in the front of the yard next to a yoga studio. There are areas to explore and areas for both dog and owner to relax, and a secure dog run that can be used for training. There is some agility equipment, a small plastic pool, as well as a sandbox and a deck with a roof in the dog run to help keep the dogs cool on a hot day. Water(hose), dog bowl(s), toys and towel(s) to dry the dogs off will be provided.
