Allendale is a breathtaking lakeside neighborhood with four separate parks for you and your pup to explore. The three parks at the northern end of the neighborhood, Eichelman Park, Wolfenbuttel Park, and Library Park, all feature lush green areas with walking trails that wind through beautiful forested areas and gorgeous fields ,both along and away from the water’s edge. To the south is Southport Park, a lovely planted area that’s home to the 10.2 mile Pike Bike Trail. You can hike this path with your favorite pup and enjoy some breathtaking waterside scenery that’s unique to this location. Remember to keep your pup leashed!

Pike River is a lovely area with easy access to the freeway. Named after the river that runs through it, this neighborhood is the lucky host of Petrified Springs Park. Gorgeous trails run around the outside of this park, from walking to hiking, and many follow along the amazing scenery that the Pike River has to offer. Should you continue on these walking paths long enough, you’ll run into the Carlisle Family Dog Park, a beautiful local area that welcomes off leash pups within the vicinity of these fenced walls. A daily or annual pass is required to enter the park.

For a peaceful, dog friendly area, Central Kenosha is the place to be. At the east end of this neighborhood is Lincoln Park, a gorgeous area with a bridge spanning across its small lake.  The park spans forty four acres and features a sunken garden to add some color to your daily walks. Pups are welcome anytime on a leash. A road does run through the center of this park, so keep a watch for passing cars if your pooch is easily startled. To the west is Bullamore Park and Roosevelt Park, both featuring grassy stretches that are the perfect place to take a quiet stroll.
