The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in East Chicago

Chicago

Although East Chicago, located in Indiana, has no dog parks of its own, it is only twenty-three miles away from the city of Chicago, located in Illinois. East Chicago is home to a staggering sixteen dog parks! Each park has a different theme, different amenities, and has different sizes. It would be hard for you and your pup to not fall in love with at least one of these parks. Once you’re done exploring the parks, make sure you check out one of the dog-friendly shopping areas, boat tours or bustling city streets in the heart of the windy city.

Highland

Less than nine miles from East Chicago is the city of Highland, Indiana. Highland is home to one dog park, Wicker Memorial Dog Park. This dog park has everything you could possibly want in a dog park. It is completely fenced in, so your pup does not need to be leashed. It also has plenty of seating, shade and toys for you and your pooch! However, the park does require a permit, which you can attain by providing proof of vaccinations and paying a small fee. This is a small price to pay for access to a such a secure, lovely dog park.

Crown Point

If you drive nearly twenty-five miles from your home in East Chicago, you can visit Crown Point, home to Dogwood Run at Lemon Lake County Park. This dog park is one of the largest dog parks that you or your pup will ever set paws in! It is approximately fourteen acres in size. It is not fenced in, but does not require dogs to wear leashes. For this reason it is important to keep an eye on your pooch, as it is easy for them to run off and get separated from you. Your dog should respond well to voice commands, too. And don’t forget to bring doggie waste bags and water.
