Our yard is a longer more narrow yard which allows the dogs a little more distance for their runs. There is landscape bordering the fence and a garden in the front of the yard next to a yoga studio. There are areas to explore and areas for both dog and owner to relax, and a secure dog run that can be used for training. There is some agility equipment, a small plastic pool, as well as a sandbox and a deck with a roof in the dog run to help keep the dogs cool on a hot day. Water(hose), dog bowl(s), toys and towel(s) to dry the dogs off will be provided.

BarkPark

Fully Fenced

0.08 acres

Notice: We are closing the spot on May 23rd for maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience. Grass and rain: Please keep in mind that during moderate to heavy rains the area without mulch can get muddy. Beginning May of 2024, we will post pictures daily to our Instagram account showing the condition of the spot. As you can imagine, due to the wear and tear the spot gets, it’s difficult to keep the grass alive. However, we do our best to reseed during the spring. BarkPark sits right across the street from The Salvation Army Freedom Center. This spot is fully fenced (chain link and wood) with the side facing the sidewalk being 5ft and the rest of the fence being 6ft. There is a dual-gate entrance to the spot for a safe entry and exit. Street parking is available. There is plenty of seating at this spot with shade throughout the day. There's a rain barrel filled with water for dogs to hydrate and cool down. We have water bowls available. GIANT sandbox that's great for digging and playing; no digging elsewhere please. On hot days, we do our best to keep the sand wet. Trash can onsite. We have poop bags available in two different areas for easy access. Half of this spot is covered with grass and the other half with playground mulch. This spot is big enough to get a good fetch session in or to just let the zoomies out. We also recently added agility equipment. We hope you and your four-legged friend/s have an exceptional time during your visit and choose to come back. Lost toys and items: Due to the amount of visits we get we aren’t able to track which items belong to which guest. If you’ve lost a dog toy or other item, please reach out and we’ll do our best to retrieve it and hold it for you. If you don’t reach out, we’ll hold onto it for a week and then add it to the Lost and Found Toy Box. Water: The dog drinking water gets changed 1-2 times per week, depending on the temperature/usage. During the winter months we empty the water barrel. If your dog/s require water during the winter months, we ask that you please bring your own. Food: You’re welcomed to bring food but we ask that you please clean up as a courtesy to other guests. Future additions: We hope to add more amenities over time. Our plans are to add more sand to the sandbox in late April or early May of 2024. We’re also hoping to have on-site parking around mid summer of 2024. If you have any suggestions for amenities, we’d love to hear your feedback.

August 2022

Such a wonderful backyard and Nancy has thought of all the details! My pup is so excited to go here and absolutely loves to sniff, play in the pool, and explore the offered toys!

Jamie L.

September 2022

The host was super helpful and nice. It was easy to find and street parking was super convenient. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be and had everything you could want! We will definitely be back!!

Jean D.

October 2022

My dog lives in an apt. no yard. She was so excited & couldn’t decide what to do first. Sniffs galore! Pool, sandbox, toys, agility equipment, more than any dog could possibly play with. Great afternoon.

Jessica S.

October 2022

Lincoln had so much fun! He loved having a place to run and play! Plus, digging in sand is one of his favorite activities!

Elisa E.

November 2022

Nancy was an absolute delight to work with on a short notice booking for mini doggy birthday get together. Her communications were so kind and she really went out of her way to make my party of 4 dogs and their people comfortable, including complimentary treats from her son's doggy bakery business (they got 5 stars from the pups!). Her yard is expansive and very well equipt for both dogs and people with plenty of places to sit, play and explore. The high fencing all the way around is great at keeping in all size dogs and for fence jumpers like mine. I highly recommend booking with Nancy. I know we'll be back!

Chandler L.

November 2022

So happy I found this app and brought my dogs to Nancy’s backyard for a play session!! They ran around non stop for an hour and enjoyed playing with her variety of toys! One of my dogs tried out the flirt stick for the first time and was OBSESSED! Clean and welcoming yard with fresh water for them upon our arrival. Will definitely be back!! Humphrey’s face when we got in the car after playing says it all 😍

March 2023

It was raining but the host made sure to set out a bunch of toys for G. I liked how they were big tough toys built for large breed dogs. G loved the large “cat toy” with the feathers on a rope and stick. She loved the sand box and sniffing around behind the trees. The yard was very clean and no dog poop or trash. G is notorious for being a poop eater and I didn’t see her eat anything! Very very happy with this Sniffspot and will be back.

A very lovely and secluded yard to bring your pup! The space comes fully stocked with water, lots of toys and even a chuck it. No visible distractions and it was in a quiet neighborhood.

Kim M.

April 2023

Quiet and secluded, a great place to get out the zoomies. Nancy went above and beyond with the toys, bug spray, hand sanitizer and water set out. My pup is exhausted, so I’m pretty sure he loved it. :)

Nicole S.

April 2023

This was my first time using Sniffspot & am so glad we chose Nancy’s yard as our first stop! Instructions are clear on how to enter, there’s ample parking on the street in front, & toys/water/bug spray are provided. There’s also a nice shaded area which my dog Hazel & I appreciated for those hotter summer days like today.

Jenna B.

April 2023

My dog had a great time sniffing around and playing with the bucket of toys. The backyard is completely secure (my girl is a runner, so I’m always cautious). Will definitely be visiting again!

Erika P.

May 2023

This was my first sniff spot experience. It was nice and clean with a lot of space for dogs to run. There was a tub of toys to play with. My dog enjoyed all the balls. I’d definitely book it again. Thanks!

Cara P.

Beautiful backyard, enjoyable for both dogs and people. Some city noises but it was memorial day weekend after all. Dogs next door but not visible except on the way out, not an issue at all. Had a wonderful afternoon!

Paul B.

Clean quiet spot our guys loved exploring! There's pools we will try out next time, and bring some of their own toys also. Thanks Nancy!

June 2023

This is truly an urban retreat! This backyard is like a perfect dog sanctuary. We loved the space. There was lots to explore and sniff. There were toys, a sand pit, a wading pool, and a shaded area for our dog to roam around. There was a great amount of shade and plenty of seating options. The host was ver accommodating as well! We will definitely be back!

Katy H.

June 2023

Fantastic spot! Very clean, plenty of good toys, lots of plants to sniff and birds in trees to watch, and long enough to really run. We only heard a dog bark next door, out of view, for literally a moment when we first arrived. Otherwise, it was perfect the remaining couple hours. Our dog-reactive dog was totally blissed out. We'll definitely be back!

Angelina G.

FAQ about our Oak Park dog agility parks

Are dog agility parks safe?

While public off-leash dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, inattentive owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than city parks. Contrary to a typical dog park, 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 safe place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars. As always, ensuring you use park dog agility equipment safely is also key to an enjoyable experience.

How can I find dog agility parks in Oak Park?

There are 21 dog agility parks in the Oak Park area. The most popular dog agility park is Urban Retreat. You can browse all of our dog agility parks here.

How do I know if a dog agility park works for my dog?

Owners commonly wonder about whether a park works for their dog. Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a fenced dog agility park that works for your dog. You can also filter on size to find a larger park or neighborhood parks. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our fully fenced dog agility parks. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog agility parks where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can read the description of the spot to see the details of the set up, such as whether there is commercial grade park equipment, and other amenities, such as park benches. Browse photos to get a sense for park design. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions, and of course, checking agility park hours.

What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot agility park?

We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that guests sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. Treat all park equipment with respect and care.

Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot agility park at the same time as me?

Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.

How much do Sniffspot agility parks cost?

Dog agility parks in the Oak Park area range from $4.0 and $80.0. The least expensive dog agility park is Melissa's Fully Fenced Yard For Dogs To Rent In Kenosha. The most expensive dog agility park is Planet Paws Playground. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
