55Amazing property! Our German Shepard had a fantastic time on site with plenty of space to run and play fetch! Our only concern was the barn gate which in the picture you can’t tell but there is fencing around the gate to prevent escapees from getting through the gaps, so our worries were quickly dissipated. We had plenty of fun and would definitely recommend to make a visit!Cid V.

55My dog and I absolutely loved this yard! There is a ton of fully fenced space for your pup to zoomie around in and the owner left treats and water which was really sweet! Also, the trail nearby is super nice. Great experience! Cayley Y.

55Great spot! Very clean, easy parking, cool water and bowls. There’s a sandbox for diggers and a big grassy area for zoomies. They also have a few agility toys. My dog loved it! Carly K.

55Second time at this spot, everything was great again! Big tree by the table which provided great shade (although there are little berries heads up!) Easy parking, total privacy, clean and easy access to water for the summer season. Tania S.

55Getting into the sniffspot was easy and clearly marked. My dog had a great time here. The yard is spacious and very private! It was a hot day and the water provided was still cold. My dog loves tug of war and there’s a toy attached to a tree that helped her burn out her energy. Christina C.

55Great spot near Humboldt Park - very clean with plenty to do! Kenobi loved digging in the sand box, playing fetch, and chasing the tug of war toy on the tree. He left a happy, tired pup. We’ll absolutely be back!Laura S.

55The area is secure and private, which is my main concern looking for a place for my dog to run in the city. Not the most ideal location but it gets the job done. Lindsie O.

55Great, secure and shaded spot for a hot summer day. Safety is always my #1 concern and I felt my dog was very safe here. No chance of escaping or other dogs sticking their head in. Easy to get in-great instructions.Shelley A.

55Second time visiting this spot -- always clean, water available with bowls. The agility tunnel was ripped this time around but we don't use that one anyway -- a nice space for the dogs to sniff around on a hot day like today. My dogs LOVE the sandbox!!Lindsay M.

55Loved the agility equipment and sandbox! It was so easy to get in and lots of space to run around! When it rained during my time slot they let me come back later in the day to run around. Great first experience with sniffspot! Emily S.

55Five stars for the space. The yard was great and provided ample space for my pup to run around and have fun. The two gates, one with a lock, ensured it was truly private. The fence was completely enclosed and I could relax knowing she wouldn’t get out. The only downside is the location. After seeing the surrounding neighborhood and reviewing the crime map, I won’t be returning. Parker E.

55BarkPark was very clean and had plenty of room to play fetch--my dog had a great time. The host also provided water, which was a great touch. The only issue I had was a complete lack of cell service. Sarah B.

55I have been frequenting this spot for the past year now as it is my favorite in Chicago. As an owner of a large leash reactive dog, this is such a saving grace. My two shepherds have ample room to run around and the property is always well kept! Justina L.

55Great place for your dog! Super secure and fun! Just beware if you have a dog that gets easily scared with loud noises. The crowd around there can get pretty loud. Other than that amazing place to take your pooch. Jaime G.

FAQ about our Oakbrook terrace 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.
Are dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Oakbrook terrace area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 379 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 49 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
