Dog Friendly Parks

We took Silvie to a dog park this past weekend, which the experience itself is worthy of it's own blog post. While we were there another owner showed us a great list of Dog Friendly Parks in Chicago.

I spent some time looking for the list and finally found it, so I thought I would share it, in case any readers out there are dog owners in Chicago:
  1. Belmont Harbor - Belmont & Lake Shore Drive
  2. Challenger Park - 1101 W. Irving Park Rd.
  3. Churchill Park - 1825 N. Damen
  4. Coliseum Park - 14th & Wabash
  5. Grant Park - Columbus Drive & 9th
  6. Hamlin Park - 3035 N. Hoyne
  7. Margate Park - 4921 N. Marine Dr.
  8. Montrose Beach - Wilson St. & the Lake
  9. Park No. 511 - 630 N. Kingsbury
  10. Park No. 546 - 450 E. Benton Place
  11. Park No. 551 - 353 N. DesPlaines
  12. River Park - 5100 N. Francisco Ave.
  13. Walsh Park - 1722 N. Ashland
  14. Wicker Park - 1425 N. Damen
  15. Wiggly Field - 2645 N. Sheffield
So far, we've been to Montrose Beach and River Park. J doesn't know it yet - probably will find out when he reads this post - but I'm planning a dog park tour so Silvie can try them all out!
