Jensen Park

A case of the blues got you down? Maybe a little outdoor adventure is just what you need! Grab your best canine pal and head out to spend the day at Jensen Park! It's the pawrfect place for an afternoon of fun. Found in the residential community of Albany Park, this pawsitively awesome playground is run in collaboration with the Chicago Board of Education. 

To find your way into the park grounds, simply use the entrance at the corner of Leland and Lawndale. This pawsome playground was named for Mr. Christ Jensen, an alderman of the 40th ward. Doggoes are not only welcome at Jensen Park, they are also wanted! Grab a leash and head on over for a day of park fun with your best canine pal along for the ride. Park officials do ask that you comply with the city's leash laws and keep Fido on his lead at all times. The local paw patrol does frequently scope the place out in search of canines who have gone rogue!

There are tons of woofderful adventures awaiting Fido at Jensen Park! With many lush green spaces for you and your fave pooch to explore, you can get in a wooftastic walk, picnic on the grass, or even just toss around a ball. There is even a water feature where you and your best canine bud can splash around and cool down. 

Jensen Park also offers Movies in the Park during the summer months. Fido can tag along to enjoy the film but be sure to bring him his very own popcorn! You will also need drinking water and clean up bags when you visit this pawrific playground. 

Could a day reconnecting with the outdoors be just what you need? Why not plan a trip to Jensen Park? It's a doggone amazing place!
