55A great spot not far from campus. Very tall and secure privacy fence with a solid gate. Plenty of space for zoomies. My Apollo enjoyed the sticks he found and was able to reunite with my daughter before our Thanksgiving holiday. We’ll be back for sure! Chrissy B.

55This spot was perfect for my reactive dog. It's quiet, there was no traffic on Bradley (maybe 1 car drove by), but it was far enough away my pup wasn't too bothered. We took toys with us to entertain her. Overall a great experience and we will likely make this is a weekly outing. Serenity O.

55Felipe had a great time here! The host was understanding about our last-minute reservation, and this SniffSpot was the right choice. Our pup spent at least the first 20 minutes running around, enjoying the smells! This backyard is more spacious than we expected, and it was comfortable and inviting for the humans, too. Definitely will come back!Tori D.

FAQ About Champaign 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.
