55Clean, great set up, and so much fun! We used the dock diving pool, the kiddie pool and the hose. We hung out for a bit on the astroturfed patio area to dry off. It was a perfect experience! Thank you so much for making this experience available to our pup who loves the water. Christine T.

55Walter had a great time today! We are so happy to know that this place exists now. And it’s just a block away from his favorite groomer :) It turns out Walter outgrew his life fest, so thankfully there was a larger size available there for him to wear. We left his old one there for the next large (but not extra large) puppy to try. My only suggestion for the new pools - maybe you can put space around the outside of the pool for pet parents who can’t get in the water but want to encourage their pups from the sidelines.Sarah Y.

55Prune and I had an awesome time. Lots of shaded street parking and easy to find. The backyard is beautiful and was perfect for us. prune loves her flirt pole and we had plenty of room to play with it. She is a pooped now. Thank you!Heidi T.

55This was only the 2nd time my pup has swam in a large pool and he loved it! The pool was a great size and the area below the pool was big enough for him to sprint around. Very easy to get to with easy instructions to get inside. Overall experience was awesome and we will be back! Stefanie A.

55We took our dog here to try swimming for the first time. She was not a fan of the big pool so we ended up spending most of our time playing in the kiddie pool and turf grass area. We still had a lot of fun! The area was really clean and well maintained. We brought our own life jacket for our dog, but there were some you can borrow by the pool. Overall a great spot even if your dog doesn't love swimming! Jennifer H.

55It was nice to finally have some pool time with our dog! It was his first pool experience so he was a little timid. Fortunately there’s plenty of life jacket sizes and a little green space we could play and rest in during breaks. There’s also a pet-friendly brewery nearby! I’ll definitely be back for more practice. Ryan H.

55My two dogs had an awesome time! Super friendly folks running it, beautiful pool! Not a dock diving pool (there is only a few feet of deck and not as big a drop into the water) but PERFECT for fun swimming or even starting those dock foundations since they can practice jumping off the edge of the deck into the water with a smaller drop than a traditional dock. Very fun, will be back!Moth D.

55We had a great time here with our pup. It was her first time trying to swim so it took some attempts to get her to go into the water. Their kiddie pool helped her get used to the water first and there was a lot of space for her to run around and play when she wasn't swimming. We appreciated that they had life jackets for all dog sizes available.Dion B.

55This spot was awesome! Turns out my girl was a little scared of taking the plunge - she has been swimming via beaches but never a pool environment. But we still had fun nonetheless! The life jackets were clutch and the pool toys were fun! Excited for the facility to open so that she can slowly acclimate to pool life. If you’ve got a fearless jumper this place will be heaven to you!Colleen O.

55This is a cute spot! Our dogs had fun. It is right below the green line, so if you have a scaredy dog, this may not be for you. But if your dog is train-neutral, it’s a great spot.Jessy S.

55Great spot in the city - clean and safe for the dogs and people! The host sent out very clear instructions so we didn’t have trouble finding the spot or opening the gate. It was great that they provided towels and life vests for the dogs! The pool was clean and the area around the agility course was kept up (poop bags were available, if needed). Kara W.

FAQ About Chicago 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. 8% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Chicago 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 566 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 838 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.
