    Great dog park walking distance from hotels and always has dogs. Very clean and well maintained.

    It’s the dog equivalent of taking your child to an amusement park. Once my dog jumped on one of the park benches and got his front paw stuck. It was very scary and he was crying in a lot pain. Luckily, I was close by to assist and prevent him from jumping off and breaking his leg. Overall, I give this park a 4/5 star rating.

    Sweet little dog park tucked away in a lovely park amid skyscrapers. Benches for dog owners and poop bags available if you forgot some. The location is quite hidden and took me a lot of wrong turns to find but it was well worth it. All other owners there seemed responsible and kept an eye on their dogs and cleaned up after them. Will definitely be returning.

    Now this is a dog park. It is a little slice of paradise. Beautifully set in a shady spot with a water fountain flowing through it and gardens all around! Seems like responsible doggy parents and well behaved dogs of all sizes. Was a little hard to find but locals happily helped in guiding the way.

    Went to a Meetup at the dog park which was really spacious and lovely. Lots of shade and running water for the dogs. In May, the park was full of GORGEOUS tulips, perfect for posing for photos.

    What a cute little park! I was in town visiting and needed a park downtown for my dog I was traveling with. This park is small but really adorable and shielded from the noise if the city. Plus there is 30 minute parking available if you are just popping in and out. The dog park is fenced in with concrete and turf and a cute little water fountain (the photo I attached is not of the fountain in the dog area, it's a fountain my puppers used as her personal pool on the way back to the car). My dog loved it and there was enough room to throw the ball around. There were some bags tied to the fence (I took one) but I think they are put there by kind dog owners. I don't think the park provides them. We forgot ours so I was grateful. The rest of the park is beautiful with nice paths, and fountains, flowers, some stairs people were working out on and it wasn't super crowded (was there on Sunday around 10am). GPS had a hard time directing is there, so make sure you are on upper surface roads.

    there should really be a section for small dogs. big dogs are going to possibly injure the small ones & their owners getting very upset when our big dogs think their 5 lb dog is a toy. i cant even let my 7 mo old 40lb dog run around much because the yuppies and their purse dogs. seriously irritating for the people who live downtown and want their dog to have time off the leash. they expect me to leave instead of just picking up their dog.

    This is a unicorn location to have some fun with kids, dogs, friends and family. Close of everything but kind of hidden from crowds. Also very special for a nice picnics at the end of the day.

    Perfect place for the neighborhood doggo to chill in the shade and splash in the fountain. LARGE grass area surrounding the gated space!

    This dog park is nice for a large city the fence height is about 4 feet or a little less but solidly constructed. There’s a nice water fountain for the dogs to drink out of it seems like most dogs here are trained or have been to training this is the third time we’ve been here on this visit but there’s not a ton of room for them to run. We have 2 vizslas; this is not much bigger than the typical backyard of a suburban house.

    Our canine Stella in the wake of going through the evening on a vehicle ride, to her first plane flight. Then, at that point the train into downtown Chicago. Then, at that point all she sees is concrete and black-top. She was exceptionally glad to get to Millennium Park and the canine park. She made some new companions immediately and went around and lived it up. We will be returning there again today.

    A gem in the heart of Chicago. You almost forget you are surrounded by skyscrapers.

    It was cold and snowing so not many dogs outside. But still a great destination to walk run or bike when the weather gets better.

    I'm so glad that we have this park in the neighborhood! Cute little spot where my dog can meet his furry friends.
