55We had a terrific fall afternoon . Lacey has such an eco friendly yard not to mention the secret paths to dog land. Tess finally stashed a squeak tennis ball, i couldn’t find it… she played dumb. She left it for Lacey to find. Our next visit she will run right to it. The visit was over, Tess backed into a garden when i called her to leash up. A first! She has never backed away from her leashes. I can take a hint. ⏰
55First time visiting and will definitely be back! The space has different areas to explore and lots of things to sniff!! We really enjoyed our first visit and can’t wait to come back!
55This is one of our favorite spots!
55So many fun places to explore and exciting smells. The space was so pretty and well maintained. We loved visiting!
55This is a dream backyard!!! So many awesome things to sniff and explore!!! Super peaceful and super tall/secure fence
55Beautiful space — the dogs had a great time chasing each other on the trails and sniffing around … they got lots of exercise AND mental stimulation!
55 Awesome yard!
55Always wonderful.
55This Sniffspot was a beautiful oasis! My dog and I both enjoyed playing and relaxing!
55Our visit was just perfect. The yard is in bloom so the time spent in the meadow / yard is lovely for both of us. My pup roams the perimeter. I tried hiding in the yard but she has all her shortcuts! The visit included our usual ball game. Terrific room for my aim!

HOST REPORTS

Sometimes

“Our yard is a lovely enclosed oasis from the hubbub of life and traffic. North of us thru the alley is Kamen Park and south of us is a busy corner gas station. Neighbors walk dogs and others take shortcuts thru our alley. Dogs might react to outside the yard activity: School children foot traffic heightens between 3-3:30 pm on Oakton Street (3 schools nearby) and due to proximity to nearby St Francis hospital sirens may occur randomly. Enjoy the yard!”

Location

Evanston, Illinois

Description

Come thru the alley and park near entrance gate with signage. You and your pups will have full access of our inviting yard from walking trails around the perimeter to open space for frolicking, sniffing, and exploring the changes of the growing seasons! The only area off limits is the top porch (a gate is coming). We appreciate your prompt removal of any dog elimination (place bag in the black garbage can in the alley). We appreciate any feedback to make your engagement in our yard safe and fun. Enjoy our beautiful yard!

Cleanliness

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

Hazards

HOST NOTE

There are some “obstacles” like a raised deck, fire pit area, and outdoor furniture. Depending on the season a hammock and outside furniture overlooks fruit, flowers, and veggies in various cycles of growth. We leave the pollinator friendly yard free of chemicals and nurture native garden areas which invite occupied bird houses and their visits along with bees and butterflies. We have multiple enclosed garden beds, platform garden beds, trellis forms, arbors, and protective metal enclosures around some vegetation. There are a lot of hoses. One short hose is available for filling up your dog’s water bowl. It’s located on the southwest fence, just turn off the faucet and close the splitter when done-thanks! Ongoing garden projects reflect their various stages in different seasons. No matter the season we maintain the open spaces along with canine and people “trails” and pathways that run the fence and behind bushes for routine and novelty. Enjoy the yard!

BarkPark

Fully Fenced
0.08 acres

Grass and rain: Please keep in mind that during moderate to heavy rains the area without mulch can get muddy. Check out our Instagram account for daily pictures 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. If you have any suggestions for amenities, we’d love to hear your feedback.
