55Perfect spot for an afternoon play date! Our dogs loved sniffing around the trees and tall flowers. There’s shade and Chris even provided two different seating options (lounge chairs for relaxing and a patio table/chairs for some laptop work). Water bowl was fresh/ready and our pups swam too. There are neighbor dogs next door and in the distance that are chatty, our dogs definitely enjoyed the conversation. Not a problem for us, but may be helpful to know for other pups. 10/10 from our side, we’ll be back! Katie G.

55My dog had the best of times today.
When we first drove up and I saw such a beautifully manicured lawn I thought we were at the wrong house because who would want dogs running on all that hard work, lol.
Its a beautiful spot with plenty of space for a dog to run around and play. My girl certainly got her exercise today.
And it was a nice and relaxing spot for me to sit and watch when I wasn't throwing a ball.
Communication with the host was top notch. They were receptive and replied to my initial question almost immediately.
We look forward to returning. Rafaella G.

FAQ About Wilmette 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.
