The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Elmwood Park

North Elmwood Park

North Elmwood Park is a residential neighborhood with plenty of pretty streets to walk your dog on with a view of the envied gardens and lawns found in the area. Your dog will be wagging his tail all over the place throughout the neighborhood. You will want a good leash with you here, as dog owners are common and love to walk their own pups throughout the day. You should keep treats with you to reinforce good behavior from your own pup as you meet new friends throughout North Elmwood Park. Keep waste bags with you as well and be sure to use them to keep the sidewalk areas clean.

Central Elmwood Park

Central Elmwood Park is a densely populated residential area. The streets here are home to beautiful houses that you and your dog will admire on your walks through the area. If you are looking to move into town, there are many homes for many budgets found in the area, and dog owners are more than welcome in the community. Your dog will need to stay on leash when outside with you, and you should expect to encounter other dogs regularly, especially in the early mornings and early evenings before folks head off for work or as soon as they get home.

West Elmwood Park

West Elmwood Park is another residential part of town where dog owners love to take their pups for long, relaxing walks after work. Near the Oak Park Country Club (no pups allowed unfortunately) is the dog-friendly Jerome Huppert Woods area, where hiking is common with nature lovers traveling with their dogs. There are small streams that run through the neighborhood into the woods, so you may want to keep a towel handy in case your dog decides he wants to make a splash. Make sure you hike with friends, and keep clean-up bags handy to keep the spot nice for future visitors.

East Elmwood Park

East Elmwood Park rests next to several neighboring cities that residents love to visit. This neighborhood offers convenient access to the center of town as well as to Galewood and Montclare, two popular cities with dog-loving residents in town. The trip is worth it if you would like to check out Rutherford Sayre Park in Montclare. There are also several small green spaces in the neighborhood where dog owners frequently picnic with their families on nice days. Be sure to bring a blanket and clean-up bags with you if you will be relaxing in these spaces during your stay.

South Elmwood Park

South Elmwood Park is an oasis for dog owners who want access to the best parts of the area. The Des Plaines River runs right through the corner of this neighborhood, and your dog won’t be able to make his way to the water fast enough if you choose to check it out. There are some parks within five minutes of this residential neighborhood if you don’t mind driving just a little bit south to Lindberg Park and Thatcher Woods. Make sure you have towels with you if you do travel to the river. Keep clean-up bags with you as you visit the nearby parks as well.
