It was great! Thank you! Except there was mere 3 piles of dog poop that I covered with stick piles and planter upside down. I didn’t have any extra poop bags to pick it up. I left the green poop bag next to the bucket.

Great Sniffspot! Very clean and a great space to run. They even put out some water, Ice, bubbles, a kiddie pool (great for the hot day!), and toys to play with to keep the Pups interested and occupied. Will definitely be back!

The yard was super clean, there were dog toys left out, and the owner even filled the pool up for my dog to cool off in. We will definitely be back

Fantastic backyard. Nice and clean, lots of running space. Daisy loved the pool and the basket of toys left for her to explore. Lots of great additions like sunscreen, big spray and water for the dogs.

The yard was the perfect size for our pup to let out some energy. It was clean and the host was friendly and had toys available for our pup as well. Definitely recommend this sniffspot!

This was my first time going. This is a quiet street and her backyard is very nice. I’d go here for your first experience. Maria communicated with me and also let me know that the space was ready. My dog and I had the whole space to ourselves. He ran around and the fence was great. There was also a poop scoop and a place to throw it away outside. Clean space. If you are nervous about going to someone’s backyard- come to Maria. -Sydney/Jax

This was our first sniff spot and it was a great experience! She left out treats and offered a doggie pool. She communicated throughout the whole process and was very kind. The space was private and secure. Our little one loved it!

We loved this spot! The fences were tall so there was no chance our escape artist could get out, and there were no gaps in the fence so it was totally private! A bowl of water was left out with some toys. We had everything we needed and will be back!

Lots of smells for our terrier mix Chloe to check out! Plenty of toys, great fence with no distractions, and very clean. We will definitely be back

Dulce G.

September 2024

It was a nice little park with toys and water for my doggies! They loved running around the yard! There was a friendly dog in the neighbors yard but the fence is designed so that they couldn’t see each other. Fence was tall and safe for little doggies. It was a perfect fit for a lazy Monday morning with my dogs. Definitely will be back!

Kelsey Z.

October 2024

Very dog friendly! There was also a little dog in the group, and there were no weak spots in the fence for her. Highly recommend!

We went during the evening time and there were string lights and a nice amount of lighting for us! :) My dog enjoyed the space and it was super clean!

I booked last minute and was thankful to have been able to still come and have a good time before the weather gets cold. My dogs love it and I always feel safe with my dogs there 😊 I’ve been there several times

Had 3 frenchies and 1 German Shepherd enough room for them to run around the yard was clean. There is plenty of lightning for after sunset. Great experience. I will definitely book again.

We have a new rescue dog, and it was great to let her run around, as well as work on some off leash training! Place was secure & large enough for our 70lb pup. Would definitely return!

FAQ about our Downers Grove 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.

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.
