55Absolutely love this place!!!! Very private and plenty of space for your dog to run around. I wanted to get my dog use to a kayak and this made it perfect for that, although I swam just as much as my dog did!!! I will 100% be coming back Natalie D.

55Perfect place for my dog to swim and all to ourselves! Comfortable places to sit in sun or shade for the humans and the dog had fun swimming and fetching his water toys! Nice view, clean, highly suggested if you are looking for a safe place for your dog to swim. Liz J.

55Love this place so much! Amazing view, it has lots of activities, kayak, paddle, swimming. It's fenced, so we don't need to worry when we off leash our dogs once we got in.NNG Y.

55We absolutely loved this spot! The dogs had such a great time sniffing, exploring, and wading in the water. It’s relaxing and peaceful, and the water toys give you plenty to do. Would definitely recommend!Katey T.

55If I could give them 10 stars I would. This spot was perfect. Our boy Charlie LOVES water but is dog reactive. This spot is fully fenced in and private. It's all set up and ready to go once you arrive, and the area is gorgeous. Charlie had a great time playing in the pond. We'll definitely be back! Julia H.

55We had the best time here! The dogs had a blast and so did we. I have two golden retrievers who love to jump off of docks. So it was a plus they got to do that. My puppy kept jumping off it consistently and one of his nails on his back legs started grinding down and bleeding just a little. Which isn’t the fault of the dock, just that my puppy has a lot of launching power and excitement. It did get a little slippery on the dock when it was wet so be careful. We had the absolute best time and love the privacy of it and the view. Beautiful location and property. Highly recommend!Celina M.

55Amazing area shared with us. My dog currently has little space at home and he loved running around and jumping in the water. The kids had a great time with their fur brother. Would definitely recommend!Melissa L.

55What a great spot! Easy to get to with clear directions and the fenced area by the pond is big enough to entertain dogs for hours. I wanted to teach my dog to stay on the paddle board (she likes to jump off and run around) and this pond was a great size to ferry her from one side to the other for multiple rounds of practice. The covered area is nice to be able to get out of the sun, and there are plenty of chairs and benches to sit on and watch your dog enjoy the spot! Will definitely be coming back in the future.Maya R.

55We had such a good time! The area is quite picturesque and beautiful. The dogs had a terrific time running around and playing. The dock and pond were a blast for the pups to play and swim in. The paddle boat was a nice addition too. Plenty of comfy seats and shade for the people. Highly recommended!Celeste W.

55Wonderful experience! The dogs loved the place so much. My little one got the zoomies, my oldest got her helicopter tail out! The place feels safe and is gated very well. Everything matched the listing photos. Instructions were very clear, it was hard to get lost. We will definitely be back.Diana M.

FAQ about our Oak Park 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.
