Tilton Park

Searching for a Chi-town park that's got it all? Why not bring Fido and the whole fam to visit Tilton Park? This wooftastic recreational area is nestled within the residential community known as West Garfield Park. Located directly next to the former Marconi School which hosts the park's indoor activities, you won't have any trouble finding this pawrific spot! There is lots of pawrking available along the street, but if the weather is fine, why not take a furrific stroll through the neighborhood to get in a little extra exercise before your day of park fun? Fido may join you in all areas of Tilton Park, but he must remain on a lead at all times. The local Chi-town paw patrol will be on high alert for any canine escape artists. 

Tilton Park was named for Mr. George W. Tilton, a gentleman who was an influential figure in Chicago's railroad industry. The Marconi School campus houses the "fieldhouse" where club rooms are available for rental. Other pawsome things you and your pupperoni can look forward to at Tilton Park include a playground and basketball courts. There are also lots of pawsitively awesome grass areas where you and your fave furry furiend can enjoy a picnic lunch, a leisurely stroll, or even a rousing game of frisbee. You'll want to bring along some drinking water to be sure Fido doesn't get parched. While you're at it, it's a good idea to add some cleanup bags, so you will have them when you need them. 

Tilton Park is also home to a baseball diamond and even a splash pad. Fido can chase around a ball, then cool down under the refreshing springs of the wooftastic water feature. 

For a day of fun in a doggone amazing neighborhood play space, plan a trip to Tilton Park. People and their pooches give it two paws up!
