Dog Parks Chicago

Dog Friendly Parks and Neighborhoods

Chicago has always been a dog-friendly city, from the numerous parks throughout the city, the lakefront and even many retailers letting their customers their stores are dog friendly by putting out water and treats.

Many prospective home buyers list pet friendly buildings as a search criteria when searching for their next home. But having a pet friendly building may not be enough – vicinity to dog parks is sometimes just as essential and a requirement many homebuyers are looking for.

Here are some of the most popular parks in the city sent to me, or compiled by friends or myself.
