Bull Valley Rd/Country Club Rd

Bull Valley Rd/Country Club Rd

Bull Valley Dog Park is located just twenty-five minutes from Riley in the village of Bull Valley, near the larger town of Woodstock. There's plenty of room in this seven-acre dog run for your pooch to run around and blow off a little steam! Waste bags are provided at the park, but there's no water fountain -- you'll have to bring your own bottle. Like many dog parks in the area, Bull Valley Dog Park requires a membership, but if sixty dollars isn't a deal-breaker for you, your doggo will thank you for it! There's no separate small dog area, so be mindful of your pup's temperament.

Riverside

Riverside

Just over twenty-eight miles from Riley is Riverside in McHenry, IL. Your dog will go absolutely mutts for McBark Dog Park! Aside from having an adorable name, this park has four acres of fenced-in space for your dog to run, play, and socialize – you just need to grab a pass from the City of McHenry before visiting. If you're looking for a longer walk, you can also bring your dog to Prairie Trail, part of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy. This twenty-six-mile trail goes all the way to the Wisconsin-Illinois border, so there’s plenty of scope for outdoor adventure! Don't forget to bring bags and water!

Village of Lakewood

Village of Lakewood

About 31 minutes away from Riley is the Village of Lakewood in Crystal Lake, IL. This neighborhood sits right near the beautiful Crystal Lake and is home to a furrific dog park. You can take your doggo to Hound Town Dog Park at Lippold Park, a popular outdoor area for your dog to go unleashed! If you don’t live in the area, you’ll need a $60 annual permit, but for residents, it’s free. It's well worth taking a wander through the people side of the park, too, where you'll find over five miles of hiking trails for you and your buddy to sniff and explore.
