55We visited during a trip across the country and this could not be a more perfect pit stop. The yard is immaculate and my pup had a great time running around. Great yard for playing fetch if your dog likes that too. Hannah was very communicative and flexible. Easy street parking if you’re hauling a trailer like we were. Highly recommend. Kellie G.

FAQ About Evanston 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.
