There are benches for you to relax at while he plays, and a canine water fountain available. You will need to first purchase a permit from the Park District of Oak Park to get through the electronic entry system. Afterwards, head to Solerno’s for some top-notch southern-Italian grub. Your pup is very welcome to sit by you at one of their outdoor tables while you enjoy your pizza, pasta, sandwich, ribs or some of the many appetisers on offer.

Roosevelt Road/ Des Plaines Ave

Let Fido run free to his heart’s content at the Miller Meadow off leash dog area in Forest Park, just north of Riverside. You will need to purchase a permit from the Forest Preserve of Cook County, but the purpose-built three acres of doggie heaven is worth looking at. There is also a walking trail and play fields here for some extra fun, but you will need to put your pooch back on his lead for these. For a bite to eat in this area, head to Five Guys or R Place, where you can enjoy your meal with pup in tow at an outdoor table.

Not far from here is Veterans Park, with another paved path Fido will enjoy walking with you. These parks require you to keep your pooch on a lead, and always clean up after him. For something to eat after exploring the parks, head to dog-friendly Big Corner Tavern and grab an outdoor table. Tacos, burgers, sandwiches, wraps – you will not leave here hungry!

Ames Blyth

Take the walking path from Riverside Road down to the Riverside Lawn River Trail along Des Plains River. This is a paved trail, perfect for an on-lead outing to enjoy some spectacular woodland scenery.Guthrie Park and Big Ball Park are also perfect places to go for wander with your pup. You will need to keep him on a lead and take your clean up bags to all of these places, and make sure you have a water bottle and drinking bowl with you too.
