Dog Walking in Villa Park
Villa Park is a village in DuPage County, Illinois with a population of 21,800. It's part of the Chicago Metropolitan Area, so you won't be far from the amenities of the Windy City. The three animal hospitals and animal clinic in Villa Park take good care of its canine residents and visitors, so you can rest easy knowing your pup is in good hands should an emergency arise.
If you decide to visit this interesting village, you can lodge at the budget-friendly Motel 6 Chicago West Villa Park, which welcomes canine guests. Villa Park also has AirBnB rentals, although pet policies and fees vary for each accommodation.
If you’re feeling a little bit adventurous while you're in Villa Park, you should take the time to visit the Illinois Prairie Path. This pawpular trail stretches for many miles, and is considered one of the best hiking trails in the state. The Great Western Trail (DuPage Parkway Section) also runs through Villa Park, so you and Fido can explore both and decide which you like better.
If you're a history buff, you should check out the Villa Park Historical Society & Visitors Center. No dogs are allowed in the museum, unfortunately.
