55Lovely couple! I did go when it was dark because one of our big dogs is more comfortable at night when it's quite out. My dogs loved running around this yard. Just be careful with smaller dogs. My small 12 pound miniature schnauzer did find a way out by the gate entrance trying to follow me out to my car when I went to get a toy. But I was comfortable knowing my dog doesn't leave/runaway on her own. 5 stars!Lizbeth J.

55Great yard to throw the ball for my dog. She doesn’t get along with other dogs & I don’t have a yard, so this is perfect. We definitely will be back!! Abby N.

55Wow! Leo and Mary Anne have the PERFECT backyard for dogs to hang and play or- as in my case - train! There is plenty of shade, water if you need it and a secured yard with no activity in neighboring yards. I'll definitely be coming back for future training. Book with confidence - this is exactly as pictured! Gabrielle J.

55First time using Sniffspot. Great location! Lots for my dog to smell and plenty of yard to run around with him. Being our first time, he was just getting used to the space. He’s still a puppy and kind of barky. I hope to return so he feels comfortable. We are heading out of town with him in a couple weeks and trying to help him less anxious of being in places other than at home. Water provided. And balls!Cathy M.

55Beautiful yard, nice and open. The owner came out and talked to me for a little while very nice person. Sorry my dogs were very exciteble when they met you! Nice neighborhood too. I brought my own bowl and water just to be safe but they had access to hose water and their own bowl which was a good plus to know for future visits.William T.

FAQ about our 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.
Are dog parks safe?

You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 490 fully fenced dog parks in the area.
