Wag! Walkers know Burnside

Burnside is located on the south side of Chicago and is the smallest of the 77 official Chicago Community Areas. This neighborhood has a combination of commercial, residential, and industrial activity. Industrial regions tend to be associated with the nearby train tracks and are not pedestrian friendly locations, however, residential neighborhoods are walkable and some businesses and services on main roads such as 93rd Street in the south, and 87th Street in the north part of the community can be reached by pedestrians accompanied by their pooches.

Weather in this Chicago neighborhood varies with the seasons. Summers tend to be hot, sunny, and quite humid. Pack water and plan shady breaks on long excursions during sweltering summer days.

Residential areas have grass strips between roads and sidewalks for pedestrians and their dogs to enjoy strolls. Remember to clean up after your dog so you stay popular with the neighbors!
