55Very secure area and easy check-in. Lots of different play equipment and plenty of room. It was very hot while we were there and there’s not a ton of shade so would not recommend on a super hot day. The space is great!Abbey E.

55Super clean, secure and easy to access. This was our first time here and my pup Leo absolutely loved it. The large running space was perfect as well as the location. I will be booking again. 😊Thalia M.

55Fun space with water, pool and a couple agility obstacles. There is one small “pot hole” in the grass but it’s clearly marked off with a cone and didn’t interfere with her play. The L runs right next to the space but not terrible and pup was used it very quickly; also a nice way to get them familiar with the noise. Lots of benches to relax on!Aras & Zoya D.

55Very fun spot for our active pup! He loved the agility equipment. The hose was super convenient for filling up his bowl and cleaning any messes. It is right next to a yard for the daycare so there are dogs on the other side of the fence but they were pretty quiet.Nia G.

55A great spot for your dog to run around and play. Today was a little warmer because the sun was directly hitting us which for a husky isn’t fun. The green line goes right by which wasn’t ideal for my dog but once he was acclimated all went well. Will definitely visit again. Flor T.

55Fence along the street isn’t fully private but thankfully it is on the side that’s shared with the dog daycare play lot! A group came out to play next door while we were there, which was distracting for my reactive dog but since he couldn’t see them it was fine.
Plenty of room to zoom or jump on the agility equipment! Jamie R.

55My dog Blu and I love this park . This was the second time coming here. The location is very close to home and easy street parking. We prefer this over a busy dog park for sure! Will be back on another nice winter day. Amanda G.

55Easy parking, easy access and no issues with people/dog distractions. There were people walking dogs on the sidewalk but the fencing is good quality. The elevated train is right next to the park but after the first time it ran by my dog got used to it no issues. Clean space, good size and the agility play props are great. Best feature for me is that it’s concrete and turf, no mud to worry about. My dog had a great time, we will add to our favorites list for sure. Krystal S.

55Very clean space with various surfaces and activities for dogs, including 2 separate sitting areas for humans to watch the play time or to have some breaks for the dogs. There's some agility equipment that was fun for the dogs to explore, and provided opportunities for training fun too. We enjoyed our time and would come back! It's nice to have a spot to come on a muddy day and not worry about muddy dogs. Lindsay M.

55Great place for the girls to run and wrestle. Artificial turf is great, lots to climb and jump on. Good water access even on a cold, windy Chicago day. There were dogs right on the other side of the fence so it may be a problem if your dog is fence protective. Marcie C.

FAQ about our Porter 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.
