55This was a great spot to let my dog run around safe and off leash. There is even a table with some chairs for me to sit at while my pup took a rest from chasing his ball. Tiffany L.

55Everything was great for my purposes. One gate was secured with elastic cords, so would want to make sure to watch that if I had an escape artist dog, but for the ones we had, it was fine.Kelli H.

55Shortbread had the best time getting his zoomies out in your beautiful yard! It was easy for us to park and get inside and there was plenty of room to run around. Thank you!Melanie X.

55Please note, if you have a barrier reactive dog, this spot won’t work for you. We had to leave after only 15 minutes because the little dog next door came out, went right up to the fence, and started barking at my dogs through the cracks in the privacy fence. My barrier reactive dog lost it and we had to leave. I am still giving 5 stars because the nextdoor dog was mentioned in the description and I took the chance that the privacy fence would make the dog unseeable. It did not. Still a really clean and nice spot to let your dogs play if they aren’t reactive. Stacy S.

55Yard was clean and my dogs had a great time. My one negative is I was unable to turn on the hose to give my dogs water. Other than that great spot and will probably be back!Sam F.

55No hassle visit. They loved the greenery and I loved the table for 6! I will bring a few friends next time. No parking in the front especially on the weekend. I parked in the back alley. Let them run zombies and explore for most part but worked on some recall drills. Wanted to give them water from the hose but didn't know if it was available at this spot. Will come back again.Robin T.

55We love love love this sniffspot. Great location for us and super walkable. Great value for the price and the yard has always been private and secure. Our 20lb terrier mix needed to run after all the winter weather and this is the perfect spot to exercise him!Roxanne D.

55A great first Sniffspot experience for my dogs! There were two water bowls, a hose for water, a frisbee and a table and chairs to sit at. The yard was very clean and spacious, my dogs had a blast! They are super small dogs, but I wasn’t at all worried about them getting out through the fence. elam k.

FAQ about our Waukegan 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. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by guests so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 96% of reviews on Sniffspot visits in the Waukegan area are 5 stars.
How do I know if a dog park works for my dog?
You can filter Sniffspot dog parks by fencing and distractions. If your dog doesn't have good recall, you can visit one of our 368 fully fenced dog parks in the area. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our 45 off leash areas where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can also filter locations to avoid other domestic animals and people. We also recommend reading reviews and reaching out to the host with any questions.
