55What a great, open, clean spot! Our dog had a blast chasing a ball (til he started eating dirt and grass in the corners, the big moron, and I had to take him home early 🙄). My only glitch was not being totally sure I was entering the right yard - that always freaks me out. Assuming I was in the right place, easy peasy to pull the car right up to the fence (it says No Parking so crossing my fingers on this part too) and walk thru the gate. As soon as I closed the gate behind us my dog was bouncing with glee at the big open space - even at the ripe age of 10! Thanks so much - hope to visit again soon. Kim R.

55This was a great spot to let my dog run around safe and off leash. There is even a table with some chairs for me to sit at while my pup took a rest from chasing his ball. Tiffany L.

55My dog and I have really enjoyed hanging out in this yard. It’s spacious and shady in parts with different areas for him to explore and a table and chairs for me. It’s secluded but there’s enough going on to keep him interested. We really like it here!Jane P.

55This spot is amazing and worth every penny. More money than others we’ve visited so far, it’s spacious, close to our home, and not TOO fancy for dog silliness. Can’t wait to go back! Chrissy B.

55We had another fun visit with our dogs! Great space with plenty of room for our small dog to chase! Just a half hour tires them out! Secure and quiet space too which we really appreciate.Roxanne D.

55Great wide open grass space, table to sit at and lay your stuff on… my dog certainly picked up every little bit of rabbit poop and sniffed out the plants and tried to eat those things though 😂

55Nice quiet space. Parking on the side streets was pretty easy, we accessed through the back gate in the alleyway. Ample room for some fetch, and some good shaded areas for the hot day. Krystal S.

FAQ about our Waukegan 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.
