This fenced-in off-leash dog park located inside Oak Grove Park provides a place for dogs to exercise without the constraints of a leash, as well as socialize with other canines and their human companions. Drinking water is available year-round in the dog park.
The Park District is in the process of adding a third one-acre area to the off-leash park. The addition will be on the southeast corner of the existing dog park and will include a shade structure, shade trees, benches and picnic tables.
The purpose of the third area is to allow for the occasional rotation of large dog areas, causing less wear and tear on the turf — in other words, more grass, less dirt and mud! This change will result in fewer weather-related closures of the dog park, something dog park visitors have requested.
