Hi, welcome to my spot. I've been in Downers Grove for about 10 years. This yard has provided fun for my two dogs for a long time, and now yours can enjoy too!

I have a fully fenced backyard with fencing around the entire perimeter (about three feet high). It works well for most medium to large dogs, but may not be ideal for very small dogs due to the fence height. At this time, I’m not aware of any pets in the neighboring yards.

The Barkyard

Fully Fenced

This is a private, fully fenced backyard made for zoomies, sniffing adventures, and tail-wagging fun. It’s a calm, cozy space where dogs can run free, explore every corner, or simply flop down and relax. While the yard itself is all yours during your visit, other animals and pets may be seen or heard nearby, so there’s always something interesting to watch or listen to. Whether your dog is here to sprint, sniff, or sunbathe, we hope they leave happy, tired, and dreaming of their next visit!

The Red Door Salt Creek Sanctuary - Fully Fenced 1/2 Acre

Fully Fenced
0.5 acres

Fall/Winter update: the yard is DARK after 5pm. Hose is off for winterization, so please bring water. Our 1/2 acre fully fenced dog-friendly yard is here to host your special furry friends. We live a short, straight-shot drive from Chicago and are butt-up against the beautiful Salt Creek (and all the wild life that also calls the creek "home" - bunnies, squirrels, groundhogs, birds, garden snakes (harmless, but present in May), etc.). The head of Salt Creek Trail is located just a block away on Thomas Street, so feel free to explore the creek/trail after your yard time. It leads all the way to Villa Park, where you can catch the Prairie Path / Great Western Trail. You'll pass by MORE Brewing Company as well as outdoor bar and food trucks Fuel and Creme (ice cream). Make a day of it! Please note that even though the yard IS fully fenced, it is comprised of a variety of sizes shapes ranging from 6 feet privacy, raw iron, to 4 foot chain-link, barn wood with chicken wire between the wood gaps. You know your dog's "flight risk" better than anyone, so please make smart decisions when booking our yard. Dispose of poop bags in the BLUE TOP bin (green is recycle). Finally, note that we can only host 2 dogs at a time due to wear and tear on the yard. Have fun!

I have blocked off the calendar until Feb 28 for now but will be CLOSED until we can be sure to safely welcome our furry friends back to our yard. Thank you for your patience and understanding. (We will update more on our Facebook page so please keep checking there as well) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ We are a dog loving home located on a large lot right off the Illinois Prairie Path in Lombard! Perfect spot for owners who already walk their companions on the path to stop and have some playtime or extra training time. (We just ask you make reservations before planning your visit) Join our Facebook Group ‘Kefy Dog Park’ to find Yard Updates & how other friends are enjoying our spot! https://www.facebook.com/share/ix7uGd3kp5R6DqxA/?mibextid=K35XfP We have a Newfoundland who will be inside during visits & chickens who will be in their coop/chicken run. Our favorite times of year to see our Newfie play outside are winter (he loves to catch snowballs, chase our kids and then lay in the cold snow)…and the summer when he lays in the cool grass and plops himself down in the kiddie pool. We hope your doggies will love to enjoy our yard just as much!
