Here, you'll find Pooch Park, which has plenty of space for pups to run and play. This park features two separate areas for the large and small breeds, lots of grass, drinking water, and agility equipment to train or have some extra fun.

West Ridge
West Ridge is one Chicago's 77 neighborhoods. It's located in the northern region of the city, bordering with Rogers Park to the northeast and Peterson Park to the south. This sprawling neighborhood is home to a number of local businesses, convenience stores, and recreation areas. You and your furry friend will want to make a beeline for Warren Park, located in the heart of the neighborhood. Walking trails are available here for leashed strolls, and some even allow pups to explore off-leash, but you'll need to pay close attention to signage. This unfenced park is usually fairly crowded, so it may not be suitable for timid pups or those who tend to run off.

Edgewater
The lakefront neighborhood of Edgewater is located north of Chicago and 7 miles from the Loop. This densely populated residential neighborhood welcomes you and your pup to explore and have fun in Berger Park on North Sheppard Road.

The staff are very friendly toward pups, and will even bring Fido his own water bowl!
