The best dog friendly neighborhoods in Gary
48
Miller Beach
The Miller
Beach neighborhood, also commonly known as Miller, is home to one of Gary’s
most-visited landmarks: Marquette Park. Covering 159 acres of land and beaches,
this dog-friendly park and beach is a leashed-only site, and pups are not permitted in the humans' designated swimming areas. However, the park has allotted 2
dog beaches on the Lake Street Beach , so your furry friend can take a
refreshing dip in Lake Michigan on leash with you. Marquette Park also includes open picnic areas, a large lawn, lagoons, and fishing, all of which your pup can explore with you. Take a walk to Patterson
Island over one of two foot bridges for the truly adventurous! There’s so much to see and do here!

Black Oak
The neighborhood of Black Oak covers areas of wetlands, as well as undeveloped land near the Calumet River. It is also home to the dog-friendly Lake Etta County Park, consisting of 98 acres of flood plain land. This extremely popular park features the Lake Etta’s Trail that contains about two miles of hard surface surrounding the playground, and another half mile through natural wetlands. Additional trails near the swimming and fishing lakes lead to the Little Calumet River. Take your woofer for an afternoon of strolling the trails, followed by a sit in one of the picnic shelters where you can grill your favorite foods and share them with Fido. Park users with dogs must keep them leashed, and there are a few areas where pups are not permitted, so watch for signs.

Emerson
Emerson is home to Gateway Park. This lovely park has been restored to its former glory after falling into disrepair over the years, and now offers 2 fountains and 3 acres of lawn, along with paved walkways lined with flowers and shrubs. Another sweet spot in the Emerson neighborhood is the Idle Hour Park which features an acre of open green space for some leashed play with your dog-eared pal. Buffington Park is another small park that has been refurbished to a safe, pleasant space with a playground and grass, walkways, and a monument to Emerson’s World War II veterans. Dog-buddies are welcome!

49-acre Brunswick Park is comprised in part of dunes and marshy low areas. This
is a great place to walk with your leashed fur-faced buddy. The pup-friendly 100-acre Ivanhoe Nature
Preserve is part of the Nature Conservancy network of parks, and offers a mosaic of savanna,

canine companion. Waterfowl, wildflowers and small mammals abound, and Fido
