The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Matteson

South Hinsdale

Your dog will be thankful if you decide to take him for a stroll through this beautiful park. Off-leash fun is the main plus in this fenced park! Waste bags are provided to keep the park clean, but you'll need to bring some water. On a hot day, Fido can dip his paws in the little creek here. When it rains, the creek can get really deep, so be sure to keep a close eye on your pup in bad weather!

Homer Glen

Around 17 miles from Matteson is Messenger Marsh Dog Park, located in central Homer Glen. This fenced, off-leash park is the pawfect place for your pooch to play and sniff out some new buddies! The park is 5 acres, and there is a smaller 1-acre area for pups under 30 pounds. For the human visitors, the park provides sheltered benches where you can sit and watch over your pooch. A permit is required if you want to play here, but the fee is well worth it for this clean park. Poop bags and trash cans are provided so you can do your bit to keep the park clean.

Jackson Park

The aptly named Jackson Bark is a must-see for pooches and people visiting Matteson. This furrific dog park is located in Chicago's Jackson Park neighborhood, around 27 miles from Matteson.

There is free parking in the nearby lot, as well as lots of toys in the park, and numerous shaded benches where the pup parents can sit and watch over their pooches. Water and poop bags are provided here, so you'll have everything you need for the pawfect day at the park!

North Munster

If you're looking for some more off-leash playtime, but don't want to travel to the Windy City, head to Highland, located 17 miles northeast of Matteson. Here, you'll find Wicker Memorial Dog Park. If you want to visit this pawpular park, you will have to register your dog at the Wicker Memorial Park Picnic Office. Unfortunately, pit bulls and pit bull mixes are prohibited from being off-leash in the park. The park is covered in grass and has two areas which are rotated for maintenance so the dog park always stays open. There is a water fountain, but it is outside of the fenced area.

North Homer Glen

Trantina Farm Dog Park is a highly-rated dog park in Home Glen. Locals pawsitively love this fenced, off-leash park, so your precious pup is sure to make some new friends here! There are two separate areas: one is for little doggos under 30 pounds, and the other one is for large dogs. The park also provides benches, parking, and a looped trail surrounding the park that's perfect for a leashed walk. There isn’t much shade in the park, so you might not want to visit in hot weather. Bring water and poop bags with you, since these aren't provided here.
