Dog Park

At Payton’s Playground our goal is to foster an environment that keeps you and your pup engaged. We pride ourselves on being Chicago’s first outdoor Dog Park Café. Payton’s Playground is very different than your average Chicago dog park because it is membership based so you can rest assured that each pup on site has been temperament tested and is up to date on vaccines. Upon registration each pet parent goes through an orientation session, so they are aware of what’s expected of them as well as do’s and don'ts of a dog park and proper etiquette. Payton’s Playground will host training demonstrations, breed specific play dates, mobile vet days and so much more. Let’s not forget the coffee shop! The days of making two stops or tethering your pup outside while you run into grab a latte are over. For your convenience we have two walk up windows one accessible from inside the park and one street side for those dog free days that your craving a cup of our joe. Payton’s Playground is open 6am to 10pm every day of the week. More importantly Payton’s playground does not rely on mother nature to clean the park. The park is upkept daily and deep cleaned weekly.
