55Terrific space conveniently located in a great neighborhood. Lovely back yard, perfect space for our guy to catch a ball and get the zoomies out. Only suggestion would be, since it’s literally the back yard to a private home, some signage or indication to be sure you’re in the right spot! Kim R.

55The spot is nice, there are a few spaces to sit and get comfy and there's room for your dog to definitely run around. The only bit of confusion was which house it was. I think that from the front of the house it looks different than the backyard pics, so if there can be clearer directions about how to enter the space, that would be helpful. But a nice area overall!Reshmi H.

55We felt welcome to get patio furniture from where it was stored next to the house and place it on the deck, also moving the table to where it was comfortable. Bring your water bowl and supplies and enjoy this varied dog space that winds around the deck and provides bushy cover at the periphery. Great price!Roxane A.

55Quiet, tree lined street. Yard is large & shaded. Large tree allowed for great run around. The length & width provided great exercise & lots of great sniffs. When I correctly secured the gate it was a safe great day.Jean D.

55Great backyard, bigger than expected. My shepherd had lots of room to run. PLEASE be aware - fence is secure but GATE SWINGS OPEN BY JUST A SLIGHT PUSH. I blocked it off with the recycling bin & a lawn chair, then everything was safe. Will be back, next time with a bungie cord to secure gate opening. Nell S.

55The backyard is beautiful. The host was super friendly and communicative before we arrived. The yard was a bit smaller than I thought it would be but it worked well for some shorter fetch. There were lots of things for our pups to sniff as well. Jessica S.

55This spot was so clean and a great hang for a friend and me with our dog-selective dogs! There were so many good sniffs for the two of them that they were entertained by the entire time! I wasn't looking for a space for the dogs to really run in but, for others who may be looking for that, I don't think this spot is a great fit.Clare C.

FAQ about our Des Plaines 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 Des Plaines 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 362 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 47 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.
