55This was a great spot to let my dog run around safe and off leash. There is even a table with some chairs for me to sit at while my pup took a rest from chasing his ball. Tiffany L.

55Everything was great for my purposes. One gate was secured with elastic cords, so would want to make sure to watch that if I had an escape artist dog, but for the ones we had, it was fine.Kelli H.

55This spot is amazing and worth every penny. More money than others we’ve visited so far, it’s spacious, close to our home, and not TOO fancy for dog silliness. Can’t wait to go back! Chrissy B.

55We had another fun visit with our dogs! Great space with plenty of room for our small dog to chase! Just a half hour tires them out! Secure and quiet space too which we really appreciate.Roxanne D.

55What a wonderful yard! Perfect for my high energy pointer, especially the open space with high fence. We are staying away from dog parks so this is a wonderful option and we plan on being regulars at Zoomies Zoomies Zoomies! Perfect name for my zoomie dog. Robert M.

55Great wide open grass space, table to sit at and lay your stuff on… my dog certainly picked up every little bit of rabbit poop and sniffed out the plants and tried to eat those things though 😂
No amenities, but good overall Ali K.

55Nice quiet space. Parking on the side streets was pretty easy, we accessed through the back gate in the alleyway. Ample room for some fetch, and some good shaded areas for the hot day. Krystal S.

55A great first Sniffspot experience for my dogs! There were two water bowls, a hose for water, a frisbee and a table and chairs to sit at. The yard was very clean and spacious, my dogs had a blast! They are super small dogs, but I wasn’t at all worried about them getting out through the fence. elam k.

FAQ about our Waukegan 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.
