We had a great time! Our energetic dog was thrilled to be able to run around in this huge, clean, fully fenced yard. Will definitely visit again!

My ladies loved it!! Very spacious, clean and secure. Allyson is great and came out to greet us. We’ve found our “Cheers” and will be here regularly. Thank you again!!

Very spacious and clean! Allyson greeted us and was very friendly. My dogs absolutely loved it - we will be coming back!

Beautiful, big safe space for your dog. It's an open, iron fence, so if your dog reacts to dogs being walked by, you might want to keep an eye out for that. We'll definitely be back. Easy to park on the street.

Allyson’s yard is absolutely beautiful! our dog has so much fun that she’s already asleep in the car and we left just minutes ago. No other visible dogs during our visit (in case that’s a concern for you), and there were some chickens a couple of doors down. We had a lovely time abd will be back soon!

Allyson’s yard was beautiful and we were able to park right in front of it for easy access. My dogs really loved playing around in the yard! Occasionally, people and other dogs walked by if you worry about that. However, the yard was large enough that you could get around a corner until they pass. We heard chickens and there was a small dog barking behind a fence but not in view. We will definitely book again! Thank you to the host!!!

AMAZING area! My dog enjoyed the open space. There is agility equipment too which my dog seemed a bit curious about (he has not had any agility training) so that was cool! Very private and clean. Be aware of the location - my dog was nervous due to the passing trains. Overall a great place to bring your dogs and play. (:

Hard to get in to, I had to call the number but then it took just a second. Dog can see others walking by (people and dogs) FYI but otherwise a really great space with agility equipment for the dog to use. Will come again!

Great private spot to run and play in the city! The area is spacious, clean and has an upbeat vibe. The owner is friendly and responsive.

The playground’s very clean and very securely fenced. We were a bit confused with the entry code, but Tara was very helpful and quick to respond to my messages; and the on-site staff helped us get in as well. Our 3 dogs got their zoomies taken cared of, and were happily introduced to the agility / parkour set-up, which they’ve not experienced before! Needless to say, they had a heck of a fun time.

This was the perfect place for our beautiful, wonderful, dog-reactive pup. Getting to see he run around off leash and experience playing outdoors stress free was incredible. We will definitely be back! Thank you !

This was such an awesome spot! Our Pup Dante loved playing fetch and we enjoyed using the agility props. It was very secure and had ample space. We missed the entrance at first but realized the gate is on Lake street and you can just park on Lake Street.

We had an amazing time! Loved the the little obstacle course objects she added and the turf. We will definitely be coming back.

My reactive pup and I loved Payton’s Playground! It was so good for him to run around without having to see people or dogs. The train was loud when it passed, but it didn’t seem to distract him from running around. Also love the little agility sets!

Sidney R.

Paytons Playground was awesome!! It was such a nice place for my high energy dog to run around freely, which is hard to find in Chicago without going to the dog park. The area is very secure and it was amazing to see my dog build confidence (very quickly!) with the agility courses. It is close to the L train, but after a few minutes, my dog quickly became use to it. I would definitely recommend this spot as a place to truly enjoy your pup without worry! I’m thankful for the space :)

Clean and spacious playground! My friends and I brought our puppies there and we had a lot of fun!! Our puppies had enough outdoor space to run around and we don’t need to worry about that they will get overwhelmed in the dog parks. Will definitely come back again in the near future.

This is an incredible spot. It’s always well maintained, extremely safe, and such a pleasure to visit. Tara makes the visits seamless as well. Thank you Tara & Pupstars!

brought my german shepherd here and she had a blast. it’s an easy location to get to, private and fun! it was spacious enough for her to have zoomies. fast communication with the host when i had a question about locking up. no complaints from us, we will definitely be back!!

What an awesome spot! With so few Chicago spots available and all the mud, what a treat to find this clean, mud-free haven for our dog to run around. We forgot our tennis ball but will def bring it next time.

I live in an apartment so it was great seeing my dog run free. He also loved the agility courses. Very seamless, will be back again!
