55Had a nice time here! Our dog is medium sized and is pretty low energy. We were mostly using the space for some enrichment, training practice, and off-leash sniffing/grass time. It was large enough that she had fun exploring, but small enough that we could have our eyes on her no matter where she was. Really appreciated being able to use this space! Thank you!Lydia M.

55Super friendly and welcoming hosts, well-maintained and quiet yard, and easy parking and access - basically perfect! Fences were plenty tall and secure for my 50 lb pup to roam around unsupervised!Emery V.

55Beautiful backyard that is very well fenced. My pup is on the smaller side so I kept her leashes as she has a tendency of squishing through small gaps. The owner was so kind and very helpful. Taylor can’t wait to come back!Jessica C.

55The hosts with the most.
D&M greeted us in the yard, and tessi has come to love their presence during our visit. In fact , she waits at the back door if they ate not waiting for her. The yard grounds are her fave to roll and romp.

55This is a great little yard on a nice street in a quiet neighborhood. The hosts have taken care to make sure all gaps are blocked in the space for small dogs. It's clean, has toys and seating. We were welcomed with an offer of fresh water. We felt happy and relaxed hereShannon F.

55Maureen and Dan were so hospitable! Our first time bringing our dog to their spot! Entrance instructions were clear, and Maureen and Dan both came out to say hello and give us the layout of things! There were plenty of toys, a water bowl, and even some wipes (it was a little wet outside today). We’ll definitely be back!Jeremy Y.

55Teesi is so happy to visit Dan and Maureen. Sometimes, they share our time in the yard. My wound tight dog loves their audience, as do I. Nevertheless, it's all about the flying tennis balls and the rolls in the grass. Teresa M.

55Maureen and Dan’s yard is well maintained and super dog friendly! They have toys, a water bowl, and the neighboring yards are dog free (from what I could tell). As a plus, Dan and Maureen are super friendly and will come greet your dog with snacks 🙂. Elizabeth J.

55Such a great sniff spot! Best one we’ve found near us. We loved the little dog pool and there was plenty of space for my dog to use up some energy. Neighborhood is great, no dogs directly adjacent to the spot which is great for us because our dog is dog-reactive. It was quiet at the time we went, no excess street noise. Nerise E.

55The hosts were super friendly and helpful and the yard was immaculate! My pup had an amazing time running around and dipping her toes in the kiddie pool. We did hear dogs barking nearby but did not see any. My dog reactive pup was able to still enjoy herself. Would definitely come again. Christine O.

FAQ about our Lincolnwood 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.
