55This is always the best space for our selective dog! She loves the openness and gets to run free when otherwise she’d be cooped up or surrounded by other dogs. She gets to really be herself and have a blast here. Ethan L.

55According to the app, my dog & I have been to Tiva’s yard more than 40 times! We love it. Lately my dog has been infatuated with patrolling the yard to make sure the birds don’t get in. The bird feeder was a great addition to the yard.. it keeps my girl very busy! Sara is always responsive if we ever need anything! Thanks for providing a consistent place for my dog to feel safe & confident!Colleen O.

55We had so much fun! There is plenty of seating available, lots of toys (and a separate bin to put them in for cleaning after they’ve been used) clean bowls & water, and plenty of wide open space for playing. The gate is secure, and on-site parking is a big selling point in the city. Larkin F.

55Our favorite local spot! We love to take both our personal and foster dogs here to let them run around. Easy to park/access, clean, big, and a great set up for dogs that might be barrier reactive. Provided toys and water are a huge plus. Thank you for another great experience!Tara M.

55Parking everywhere. Neighbors were so nice! The yard was perfect size and lots of open grass. The access gate was easy to see and enter, there was a sign on the door that said “sniffspot” so you weren’t confused.
They offered water and phone chargers too! There’s a sitting spot for owners and lots of things for the pup to sniff. There was a dog 2 houses over but he seemed unbothered by mine. This was a great experience and worth the drive!! Can’t wait to come back. Esther H.

55Lots of space to run and very private. Heard a dog barking at first but other than that just city noises. I recommend bug spray though! Lots of mosquitoes.Julia B.

55Space was excellent, huge green space, essentially a full lot, more than enough room for our dog to run, fetch, sniff and explore. Everything that you could need was provided and entry/exit was exactly as described. Parking space was a nice bonus. Definitely will be back! Thomas K.

55I’d like to start off by saying that this is the best location I’ve found via the Sniffspot app. Not only is the space itself large, and up kept, but it is fully fenced, with minimal visibility off what is happening outside of the property. This makes it my top choice for one of our extremely reactive and fear aggressive working dogs. Not only does the space have a pergola for seating, but there are toys and chews for your pup to enjoy during the stay. There is also fresh water available at all times and poop bags provided by the host.
Now, on to the host. Sara is by the far the kindest, compassionate, and accommodating host I’ve cross paths with on this app. One of my dogs that I frequently take here is suffering from a brain tumor and poor genetics that he inherited from a backyard breeder. We have had to make the tough call to put him down which has been extremely difficult for my family and the decision was not made lightly. With little to no quality of life in sight, I wanted to make my dog (Tito) feel loved and appreciated during his last few days.
Given that we cannot take him out in public due to his episodic aggression, Sara’s spot provides us with a safe space to have fun and most importantly, a place for our dog to well- get to be a dog!
Sara was kind enough to accommodate not only a last minute booking after explaining our circumstances, but she even went as far as putting together a gift bag with various treats and chews. An incredibly thoughtful gesture that truly made my day.
Great space, incredible host - what’s not to love? Sara was able to provide me with an escape, an oasis for my aggressive dog and I to play, train, and bond, and for that I am grateful.
Thank you Sara for everything that you do. We all appreciate you!

55Fun time w my pup. Spot was clean and well-kept in spite of cold muddy weather. Entry door is a little difficult to open but it’s secure. Covered seating area a big plus. And so many toys to choose from. We had a blast. Deborah P.

FAQ about our Blue Island 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?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks much safer than public dog parks. 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 place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Blue Island area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 368 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 48 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
Sniffspot has 368 fully fenced dog parks in or near Blue Island. Browse all fully enclosed options.
