55We absolutely loved The Patch. It was a perfect pit stop on our way out of town. Space is exactly as described. Derek was amazing in communicating access points and water that we needed to bring. The park was spacious with lots of amenities for every style of dog. Riley enjoyed romping around, sniffing every single post and I was able to sit on the bench to watch her explore 😁. Highly recommend!Rachel O.

55It was a nice location. It was easy to find and enter the property. There was lots of room to run and play. The only downside was there was not much shade. We will be back! Jeanne C.

55My six dogs (my three and my three foster dogs) had a great time. Well for sure come back when it’s warmer. They got bored after like 45 mins but we got our money worth with how much fun they had and how worn out they were when we got home. It’s worth the drive from Machesney park. Jessika E.

FAQ about our Byron dog parks
