Bosly's Backyard
Indoor ball pit, tunnels, and private play regardless of weather
About this park
Bosly's Backyard is a private indoor dog play space that makes Chicago winters irrelevant. Dogs get off-leash zoomies year-round in a climate-controlled setting with a ball pit, tunnels, obstacle courses, and seasonal photo areas. Reservations are made in advance for either private or group play sessions, and owner Kim is known by name to regulars.

Bosly's Backyard reviews
What visitors consistently sayRegulars rave about the ball pit, tunnels, and obstacle courses, and owner Kim earns specific praise for learning every dog by name. The private-booking format means zero worry about unknown dogs, which draws nervous owners, seniors, and puppies alike.
A tight-knit community of repeat clients who book birthdays and standing sessions here. Because each reservation is private, the vibe is less drop-in park and more small, familiar club built around Kim and the dogs she knows personally.
