Take a dip in the creek! Beautiful secluded acreage with mature trees

Unfenced

1 acre

Beautiful secluded property with a creek running through it. The backyard is about 1 acre with a big open field surrounded by large mature trees and a creek bordering the back side. Dogs must be trained not to run off as we do not have a fence. Old fence posts show the property lines. You can to take a dip in the creek with your dog to cool off on hot days. The water does flow so I wouldn't recommend it for really small dogs. The water is fairly shallow but can get high and flow fast after heavy rain. You will have to walk down a small hill to enter the creek. The weeds get high by the water but I have made 2 separate paths to enter the creek. Entering the creek is at your own risk. The creek is on the property line so the land across the creek is not part of the property so please do not go across the creek. If you do plan on going in the creek I recommend water shoes and a towel, it can get muddy by the water. And it can also get buggy, so you might want to bring bug spray as well. Feel free to move any of the chairs from the firepit to anywhere around the yard. Please clean up after your pup, garbage can is the green one by the garage. You can park on the left side of driveway by the RV and enter on the left side of the garage.

What people say about dog fields around Plainfield, Illinois

Sandra V.

April 2024

We spent 3 hours here with our pups and had a blast. My cavalier King Charles and German Shepard were both so happy sniffing, exploring and prancing around here. Easy to get to, clean, huge and lovely. We had a picnic too.

Ian K.

May 2024

Perfect place to bring the dogs and have a picnic at. Plenty of room for them to run around and crystal clear waters for them to swim in!! 100% will be back!

Kaity H.

May 2024

I drove from the city and got caught in traffic and the host was very kind and accommodating. There were ducks that came to visit us so make sure your dog has good recall! It was so clean and relaxing there that it was completely worth my time driving there. My dog had an absolute blast, and I did too! Thank you!

Megan H.

May 2024

Was a great place for a swim on a hot day! Our golden retrievers loved jumping into the water and did not want to leave! We will most definitely be back!

Sara R.

May 2024

Really pretty spot with plenty for dogs to sniff walking along the water, just be aware it’s near a road (it’s mentioned very clearly in the listing!) so if you have a dog that isn’t trustworthy off leash, just bring a longline.

TIffany L.

May 2024

Murphy had the best time!! He would swim for 6 hours straight if I left him but an hour and half got him passed out in my back seat 🤣 would definitely come back! Great piece of land

Riley K.

May 2024

Love this place!! So much room to run around and for dogs to swim. My second time my dogs were there and they knew exactly where we were when we pulled up. They ran straight for the water. If your dogs love to run and swim it’s the perfect place for it. Plenty of shaded spots for you to get out of the sun on hot days. And lots of sticks everywhere for dogs to play with!!! Definitely recommend visiting this place.

Jessica K.

June 2024

Nice spot. My dog is very nervous so we mostly just hung out. My husband loved fishing there, too! He definitely would like to go back!

Karolina W.

June 2024

Such a beautiful property! It was a rainy day but we let our dogs go swimming & play fetch in the open spaces in the front of the property. Christie was extremely understanding and had excellent communication ensuring us that no one would be on the property during the hour we rented. We will definitely be back!

Amanda G.

June 2024

My dogs had a great time and will definitely be exhausted! If your dog likes to roll in goose poop, just be aware… (Obviously nothing the property owner can do about geese wanting to enjoy the water too!) The owner made sure to stay inside to avoid any conflicts with our pets. We will definitely be back!!

sarah c.

Very open and such a beautiful space! My pups love it. Got to teach my dog how to swim one on one.

Samantha N.

Such a great place for our pups to swim on a hot day! The property looked amazing as well, but we couldn't get the dogs out of the water. :) We'll be back!

Holland F.

July 2024

My dog and I had such a nice time! He learned to swim on this visit which was awesome! We haven’t been able to focus on his swimming skills when there were other dogs around, so this was a great opportunity for a great price. If your dog is reactive toward all animals, there are a LOT of geese, so just keep that in mind and beware of the goose poop lol. We will be back! Thanks again! 🐕‍🦺🐾

Michael M.

Excellent spot. It was everything advertised and instructions on accessing the property were easy to follow. My dog had a great time swimming here.

Sara L.

July 2024

Hank really enjoyed his time. The water was great for him to swim and plenty of sticks to play with. Maybe bring a long lead if you think your pup might wander as the driveway entrance area isn’t fenced. It wasn’t an issue for us, the fun stuff was far enough back that Hank wasn’t interested in going toward the road at all. Glad we found this nice clean spot to play, we’ll be back!

Richard A.

July 2024

This place was perfect. Entry to the water was sandy. It went from shallow to deep gradually. It was serene and mellow. It had two chairs to relax in, and best of all, Jack loved it.

Denise M.

July 2024

I took 2 of my 3 golden retrievers here to swim and they absolutely loved it! The water was clean and there were chairs to sit and watcb them swim and throw the ball from. Christie has a beautiful property.

Bob D.

July 2024

Our dogs really loved this place! One of our dogs was swimming for almost the whole hour! Our other dog just loved running around and smelling all the good smells! Bowie, Biscuit and we thank you very much! We HIGHLY recommend this place. We will be back!

FAQ About Plainfield Dog Fields

Are dog fields safe?

If you are looking for an adventure, but also looking for safety, Sniffspot dog fields are a great option. While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, distracted dog owners, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private space for just you and doggy friends you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). Especially for training, privacy is ideal. Contrary to public dog parks, all Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog for off leash exercise or outdoor training. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars, while public dog parks often do not even have verified reviews. All payment is done securely online by credit card in a few simple clicks.

How can I find dog fields in Plainfield?

There are 119 dog fields in the Plainfield area. The most popular dog field is Wiggley Field Dog Park. You can browse all of our dog fields here.

How do I know if a dog field works for my dog?

All park rental information is available online. Start by filtering parks by fencing, size and distractions, to find a private spot that works for your dog. If your dog has poor recall, you can visit one of our secure fields. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our dog fields where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can review the details of the listing to make sure it works as your desired activity space, for example, safe dog exercise, dog training, a stress-free adventure with your furry friend or even a puppy event. You can even check the park amenities chart for amenities such as indoor training facilities, agility field, synthetic turf, exercise balls or field parking availability in advance. If inclement weather is an issue or poor field conditions, you can reschedule your visit up to 2 hours in advance.

What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot dog field?

We require that all four-legged friends 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. Make sure to check host rules before visiting to ensure, for instance, that you are following allowable sports activities rules and any special events rules.

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

No. Facility rentals are for private play time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the area during visits, so this is perfect for a private adventure for you and your doggie friends, and perhaps a human friend. Hosts understand that many guests have dogs in training and are nervous owners. So when you book a Sniffspot dog field you have the entire private spot to yourself. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between time slots so you will not run into other guest dogs or a previous person when coming or leaving in the field parking area. Some hosts may have multiple fields, but there is always a buffer between fields.

How much do Sniffspot fields cost?

Dog fields in the Plainfield area range from $4.0 and $. The least expensive dog field is Danielle's Private Dog Park In Channahon. The most expensive dog field is Wag 'N Paddle. Each host sets their own price, so you can check the price on the specific Sniffspot dog park listing.
