The best dog friendly neighborhoods in Gurnee

South Lake Forest

Although there aren't any dog parks is Gurnee, you'll find one just a short drive away called the Prairie Wolf Dog Park. This park is located in South Lake Forest, which is around 13 miles from Gurnee. This fully fenced, off-leash dog park provides 44 acres for dogs to run, romp, and play. Although there isn't a separate area for small dogs, there are two separate training areas where you can play with or train a timid or shy pup. The park even has a lake that is outside of the fenced area, but you can lift the fence and let your dog swim and splash in the pond!

East River Rd

Another 44-acre park that you can visit for making some great memories with your pup is the Beck Lake Dog Park. This park is a little bit further than the previous one -- at around 26 miles away from Gurnee. The park is rich with wide fields where your pup can stretch his legs, trails, and training enclosures. Water and waste stations are both available here, so all you have to bring is lots of energy. The best part of the park is the pond where your dog can swim and socialize. You'll need to obtain a membership in order to enter the park.

Fort Sheridan

If you are looking for something different for you and your pooch, you should definitely check out the Moraine Dog Beach and Park. The beach is located around 14 miles away from Gurnee and is situated in the Fort Sheridan neighborhood of Highland Park. If you want to visit this beach, you have to be registered at the Heller Nature Center and provide proof of vaccinations. The beach is clean, but parking can be a bit tough to find. The area is not really big, but it's enough for your pup to have an absolute blast swimming and playing with other dogs! Make sure you bring water and waste bags.

Winston Knolls

Bo's Run is a fully enclosed, off-leash park that is located in Winston Knolls. The park is approximately 33 miles away from Gurnee and it includes a lot of things which make it the perfect spot for some doggie fun! The park is 2 acres and has separate areas for small and large dogs, as well as useful amenities like benches for the human visitors, agility equipment, water and bowls. All in all, the park is really well-maintained, but you need a membership to enter, and you'll also need to bring your own waste bags when you visit.

Wauconda suburbs

Lakewood Dog Park is located just outside the city of Wauconda, approximately 17 miles away from Gurnee. This incredibly spacious park is actually a forest preserve. It even includes four fenced, off-leash areas where your pup can explore and socialize! Most of the park is covered with grass and has multiple paths and trails. There is parking, bathrooms, water pumps, picnic tables and benches. Most of the park has dense trees, which means that there is always shade here. After raining, it gets muddy in some areas, so be mindful of that. Make sure to bring poop bags.
