Dogs must remain on a leash while inside, but have access to water fountains, benches, and trash bins.

Downtown Pekin

Downtown Pekin is packed to the brim with people, buildings, and roads, so when residents need a place to walk Fido, they head to Rotary Park. The park is a small square area in the middle of town, with a basketball court, playground and large open field surrounded by trees. Dogs are welcome at the park from the fours of 6 AM to Dusk, and have access to water fountains and benches. Willow Park is another option for dog walkers, with a perimeter paved trail around the park, shaded sitting areas, and a small open field for Fido to run around in. Dogs must remain on a leash, and owners must bring water and clean-up bags.
