10 Best Dog Parks In Chicago For Your Dog To Roam Free

Are you looking for a dog park in Chicago?

Whether they have the energy to spare (yes, we’re talking about you, the Jack Russels!) Or they’re sofa lovers (we see you, the Cavaliers King Charles!), ALL DOGS need to exercise. So if you are looking for a good dog-friendly park in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, here is a list of can parks that we hope can help you.

River Park Dog Park, Chicago

“Fun area for pups. There is a water pump and kiddie pools (when I was there) for dogs to play in. A great place to let the pups get out some energy!”

Horner Park Dog Park, Chicago

“Great large fenced in place to run. Can get muddy in the rain and our white dog turns a shade of grey during dry conditions. Only concern is no way to separate dogs not as socialized and owners don’t always pay attention to the way their dog is behaving (it’s a dog park what can you expect?). Overall super fun for the doggies..”

Puptown Dog Park, Chicago

“Pup town is great. It is big enough to accommodate maybe 50 dogs. Yet it’s small enough that you don’t have to chase your dog around a huge space when it’s time to go home. There are dog fountains, bowls and a kiddie pool for your pup to cool off with a dip. Dogs and owners are generally really friendly..”

Edgewater Dog Park, Chicago

“My dog loved this park! There’s lots of space to run, with garbage can and water both provided. There’s always a couple dogs, so your dog can get some socializing….”

Portage Park Dog Park, Chicago

“My pup loved it there. She ran all over and played with the other dogs. Everyone there looked out for each other and the dogs. I will definitely go back….”

Lakeshore East Dog Park, Chicago

“This place was beautiful, and huge. I spent a while here and I feel like I didn’t even scratch the surface. I mostly spent my time in Robin Williams Feild reading, but I also strolled around for a while to take on the beautiful landscape. I definitely have to come back to see what else this wonderful place had to offer…”

Wiggly Field Dog Park, Chicago

“I love wiggly field, even when we didn’t have a dog, we would stop and watch the dogs play. It’s not great if you have a smaller senior dog who needs a slower introduction, but if you have a doodle that has lots of energy and is ready to run with some rowdy dogs, he/she will wear themselves out here. People are generally watchful of their dogs. Please pick up after your dog, keep wiggly field fun for all the pups!….”

Challenger Dog Park, Chicago

“Great place for your dogs to come and socialize. People too for that matter! As a PetCare Provider this place is a heaven sent!!Always a good time to be had here!! Come by you might just run into me, say hi!!!…”

Coliseum Park Dog Park, Chicago

“I can’t believe something like a dog beach exists, but we are so glad it does! While it is always VERY crowded on the warm weekends, the beach is as clean as a dog beach can be. The added bonus of the Mutt Jackson dog wash at the exit is so very convenient…Bringing home a clean sleepy pup makes for a perfect weekend activity!…”

Wicker Dog Park, Chicago

“Alice dog park is ALWAYS THE BEST in this area !!! I visit this park so often since it’s spacious and nice facilities, can’t even come up another similar dog park at same level, won’t regret to bring your lovely dogs here….”
