55Great spot for my two dogs to enjoy off leash time on grass on a Friday afternoon. We only have “fenced-in deck” at home. Easy access, great turf, and great sniffs (according to Sady and Frisco). Even though we had wet weather recently, grass was nice and firm. Looking forward to return visits. Kasia E.

55This was a perfect little spot! Very clean and secure! My girls were in heaven running around! We are working on getting our yard fenced and this is a great option to have in the interim! There were a few people and dogs walking by but always at a safe distance and it proved to be a great training opportunity as we are working on ignoring strangers and other dogs while in public with one of our girls! We will definitely be back!Jessica P.

55 Clean and easy to get to. Alittle small for my Great Dane to sprint but she did practice her pivot and turning. A good place to practice recall. Julie D.

FAQ about our Lake Barrington 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.
