   The Village Center neighborhood of Montgomery features several parks, all of which are dog-friendly for leashed pups. Austin Memorial Park sits on the east side of the Fox River, opposite Montgomery Park. In addition to human amenities like a playground, sports fields and courts, and restrooms, the best part of this park for Fido is the large, open green space and hiking paths. A doggo and his person can also relax and have a bite at one of Austin’s picnic areas.  The Village Center also hosts the South Island Park and the South River St Park, both of which feature walking paths along the river and are open from sunrise to one hour after sunset.

   Montgomery’s Boulder Hill neighborhood, not to be confused with the village of the same name just to the south, is home to the lovely, 1.3-acre SuzanJohn Park. The park features large open grass areas, paved walkways and many mature shade trees. Nearby is a playground for the young humans, and a sitting area complete with picnic tables and benches for relaxing or sharing a meal with your fur-buddy. The walkways offer easy strolling or running with your leashed Fido in tow. Along the southern border of the neighborhood is a public walking path with access from Deer Run Drive. It is destined to become part of Montgomery’s Bike and Pedestrian Plan, an ambitious project by which the city is providing more walking and biking space. Good news for you and your furry friend!

   Just a short drive from Montgomery is Naperville, home to the Springbrook Prairie Forest Preserve, within which lies the Springbrook Prairie Dog Park. The dog park features an enclosed area that includes fields, and trails that pass through areas of prairie grasses and creeks, both of which are doggy heaven! The trails are of compacted dirt, and it’s a treat to walk with your dog off-leash, although leashes are required in the Preserve outside of the dog park. Many nature sights, sounds and smells will greet you as you amble along. Picnic tables and pavilions inside the Preserve are available for humans and their fur-babies to rest or enjoy a snack or meal. The park is open all year to enjoy with your pup!
