Description

Extra deep city lot with privacy fence hosted by dog lovers sharing the late Atticus’ yard with others.

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

HOST NOTE

- Our deck is on the to do list and has some loosish boards. We have placed a chair over the worst spot and this is not a problem for pups, but people should be mindful and wear shoes. New deck coming by Fall 2026 (keep visiting and maybe it will be sooner). -Be mindful of Cubs games as a street permit or pass is needed to park after 5 pm on any day where there is a home game. They do ticket. You may be able to park in our alley in front of our garage if necessary. If you take a bit to find parking and it eats into your reservation just let us know and you can make up the time. - The walkway to access the yard is shared with our neighbor. Please simply look down and make sure it is clear before bringing your dog through. We rarely see her in the walkway area, but there is a chance you could. - Bunnies like our yard when there are no dogs in it. We cannot reasonably clean up bunny droppings, but be aware if your pup is an eater.

Hi there! We bought our new old house and have been working on updating it. The first thing we did was install a new privacy fence in our yard so that our beloved dog, Atticus, could romp around in the yard. Atticus passed away in September 2025 and we are now ready to share our yard with other city dogs. Our yard is accessible through a "catwalk" walkway between our house and our neighbor's house. It is totally fenced and we are happy to allow humans indoor bathroom access if we are home. A bin of gently loved dog toys and a chair for humans are also provided. Be sure to check back—we are working on improvements to our yard and deck!

Enjoyed by our dogs for 15 years, our yard is a good size for zoomies, grass naps, and squirrel & bird watching. We have a table with comfy chairs and a kiddie pool. A crate of our guardian angel’s toys await your pooch. The neighbors on each side are dog free. You can spend time without a barking contest ensuing.

BarkPark

Fully Fenced
0.08 acres

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.
