55This was our first time using sniffspot and I'm SO HAPPY. We'll definitely be coming back with Luna! The space was engaging for her, plenty of room to zoom, and lots of equipment to try out. It seems like a doggie daycare operates next door so there may be dogs in the next yard depending on when you go.Ellie Q.

55So much fun! My dog Kaiser had a blast with all the equipment and balls to chase. So nice to have a safe, leash-free area for him to enjoy in the city. Karen M.

55Very easy to enter and high quality facility! There was a daycare running at the same time as our reservations so dogs were on the other side of the (tall, opaque) fence but they were very quiet and didn’t bother our reactive dogs at all. Will visit again! Sarah K.

55This was the best thing for Floyd! We did 1 hour (1 dog) and we really tired him out. The space was large for him to pick up speed and play around the some agility course equipment. Will be back again!Emily F.

55Using Payton's Playground for the first time was an amazing opportunity to have a location that allowed us the space needed for our doggie baby to run around and to feel safe. My daughter enjoyed the location herself playing with the dog & running around with her toys. Our dog needed the space to really stretch her legs, run around, play & be safe. She's outgrown our backyard and this was the best accommodation close to home. The area is fenced in very well and all the accommodations needed for family fun. I had difficulty opening the gate but I was able to connect with Tara and she was able to access it remotely - AWESOMENESS 👌 👏 👍. We are looking to visit this private dog park again in the near future! 😉 Powell F.

55What an awesome spot! With so few Chicago spots available and all the mud, what a treat to find this clean, mud-free haven for our dog to run around. We forgot our tennis ball but will def bring it next time. Kim R.

55It was a great spot! We will definitely be back. With that being said there was quiet a bit of garbage/debris in the area. We have puppies so it made it a little tough for us. If you have bigger dogs it shouldn’t be an issue!Jessica P.

55Really nice facility. My dogs were super happy. The one, maybe a little too happy (excited he could hear dogs on the other side of the fence). Julia K.

55My dogs had a BLAST!!! The agility pieces were so fun and there was still plenty of room for fetch and frisbee. Yes, the train is loud but thankfully my dogs didn’t care at all. We will be back! Holly L.

55Super cool space and very spacious! Was perfect to introduce my new puppies to some different platforms and work on gaining confidence. Don’t forget to bring a dog bowl to fill with water!Alissa L.

55The playground was clean and had plenty of room for our dog to run. I was happy that it was secure and no way for our dog to escape. He's kind of an escape artist..had lots of equipment for our dog to play on plus the playground had several balls to use. The running water with a dog bowl was the perfect touch. I would recommend and go to the playground again. Betsey S.

FAQ about our Hobart 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. 95% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Hobart 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 31 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.
