   Villa Park doesn't have any dog parks of its own, so you'll have to drive outside of city limits to find off-leash fun. Head to Whalon Dog Park in East Naperville, just 18 miles from Villa Park. This off-leash park encompasses 8 acres so your pooch has plenty of room to play. If you have a smaller pup, there is a separate 2.5-acre area designated especially for dogs under 30 pounds. There are shelters and benches in the park where the dog owners can hang out and watch over their canine friends. The great thing about this park is that it includes an exercise area with lots of agility equipment.
