55First time here and already my favorite spot! Extremely clean and tidy yard! It was so nice to sit on the grass in a quiet area and just chill with my dog while she runs around. My Roux had an amazing time! We can’t wait to be back :)Kelly L.

55Great well kept yard. Pancho had lots of fun playing catch and sniffing every single blade of grass. Listing says entrance is not private, but you enter through the side entrance in the fence, so it felt private to me! Kristina C.

55Beautiful, clean, and fun spot for my pup Harlem! He enjoyed playing ball and sniffing around. The owner was very inviting. Make sure you bring your own water as I did not see any and forgot to bring mine in. Otherwise, awesome experience and we will definitely be back! Mardi F.

55This was our first time ever in a yard, we are apartment dwellers, and Ollie spent much of the time sniffing! They two dogs next door were in their yard while we were there and while it was distracting, it also became a mini training session for his reactivity. Noel N.

55Great space- very clean and even larger than I expected. (Will attach pictures of my 55lb pup for reference.) I brought a blanket and enjoyed sitting out in the shade while my dog soaked up being outside. The space is well maintained and any potential trouble areas have been preemptively blocked off. Will definitely return! Amanda W.

55The yard is incredibly well kept. There are no gaps for dogs to get out that I noticed.
The area as a whole is incredibly peaceful. Of note, there are dogs on the other side of the fence (neighbor’s yard) that do bark once they realize a dog is next door . You cannot see them. Just a heads up in case your dog is reactive to other dogs barking. Ingra P.

55We had such a lovely time at Obi's! It's a beautiful spot with soft green grass and lots of room to play and smell and romp! There were fun toys to play with and our pup had a great time resting in the shady spots as well. Margaret H.

55My dog loved this place! This yard is very safe, clean and large enough for my hyperactive dog to run around in with her zoomies. It was a bit hot the day we visited but luckily a large part of the yard was within shade so my dog kept cool and wasn't overheated. The host even provided some dog toys and wipes at the entrance. My dog and me had a great time. Jirah C.

55I’m so glad that this is an option for dog owners that would like their own space to play with their dogs. As an apartment resident with no backyard, I loved this so much for my pup! Dog parks can be daunting and overwhelming if other dogs aren’t well behaved so this was definitely awesome. Will def be back again soon. The yard was clean and well maintained. It also had lots of space for dogs to run around and sniff!Germain E.

55Great clutter-free space with tall privacy fences and plenty room to run for my big Dogo. Nice table and chairs, (as well as a hammock although it drizzled during our visit). Easy parking and access, we will for sure be back!Chrissy B.

55All things considered, huge backyard ~ 30 minutes outside of the city. Fully enclosed the entire way around maybe 4-ish feet at lowest point which is along the alleyway.
Easy parking, easy entry to yard, hose, water bowl provided, toys, and comfortable seating! We’ll definitely be back! Julie G.

FAQ about our Niles 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.
