    Simply put a "Doggie Wonderland". A beautiful location with lots of room, features and amenities, that you're not likely to find anywhere else. A truly unique dog park that has many great photo ops.

    The perfect place for my dog to explore and take out his energy on the colorful dog friendly equipment. Water is provided and poop bags are available. I'm so happy that it is on the south side.

    We <3 Jackson Bark! We drive all the way out from Indiana to bring them here and it is totally worth it. Both of our pups have a blast and are nice and tired out on the ride home :) come check it out!

    This is the best Chicago dog park by far. There is fresh water. It is big. It is clean. There are chew toys, poop bags & scrapers and lots of obstacles! Mango just loves it.

    Mulder (my doberdor) and I love coming to this dog park. He gets pooped out every time with all the space and with Todd's two pups. This park is great and Todd does such a great job with it.

    Hands down, the best dog park in Chicago.... but don't take my word for it; compare all the dog parks by size, features, amenities, photo-ops, community events and overall review site ratings.

    Through the winter months, pups don't go out as often and/or as long. To increase the chance that you'll meet another social pup, come out at any one of these five playdate times.

    If you have a small pup like me, go into the empty tennis court & watch the dogs play until your comfortable.

    I've been to them all and this is, without a doubt, one of the best... if not, THE BEST dog park in the city.

    You need a Chicago Park district dog tag to use Chicago dog parks. You can get one for $10 from an approved veterinarian https://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/parks-facilities/dog-friendly-areas
