It was very quiet while we were there, the one person we did meet did express concern that our kids were there. I noticed previous poster also said to leave kids at home. I have four kids, three upright and one fur baby. I can't (and wouldn't) "leave them at home" nor do I hire a babysitter so I can take my dog to the dog park. ‍ Please be kind to all the families with dogs and kids. We do our best to respect that this is a "dog park" not a people park. But my kids are excited to run and play with their fur sibling and so long as it's not a crowded day, I feel they should do so without the shaming. We take our dog everywhere, including the people park...and no one has ever told us we should have left our dog at home.

She's also black lab and loves swimming (typical) and this dog park has a trail across the Fox River where dogs can just jump in and out during their walk on small sandy beaches to cool off. Our dog had sooo much fun and even made some friends. It's not a fenced in dog park, so only take your dog if you can trust them. There is a busy road across the parking lot. They are allowed to be off leash throughout the entire forest preserve in the area before the bridge. I also love that the paths are natural and it's super foresty and shaded.

Yeah, I am disappointed I didn't find this dog park sooner! What a purely awesome layout! My dogs…read moreabsolutely LOVED it! Plenty of different trails, the river, LOTS of space and beautiful scenery too. My wife and I walked around for a couple of hours while the dogs ran from one spot to the next. We made the mistake of going right when we left the parking area... Left was a better choice. But the area that is not part of the unleashed dog area is still beautiful. We walked out over the river on the newly constructed bridge and just took in the views. Then walking back we found another path back into the unleashed area which brought us to the river, which my dogs were all about, sprinting directly into the water before we could even catch up, it was a warm day. Overall I love this park, and it is well worth the trip for a nice walk. Highly recommend that anyone with a dog who loves to run, get wet, play with other dogs or just walk with you try this place!

A dog park is by this big lake. It certainly is a popular place to bring pets in Naperville. Whalon…read moreLake is known for having one of the better dog parks. Clean and most dog owners are friendly. To use this park you need to have a permit, which is the only bad thing about it. Bathrooms are available. It's those holes with the hollow toilets over these, so these literally stink. That's about as bad as it gets though. Ironically it smells even better in the actual dog park. Of course there's a few rules to follow, and these are posted at the entrance so you can't miss these. Bigger and smaller dogs have separate areas. There's amenities like water fountains and poop bags for free. Good place for dogs. It's mostly clean and safe. There's plenty around, from the lake to some trails.

There's the occasional tussle but most owners are responsible and know their dog's behavior. I also really love the idea of the agility course, but think it could really use some new additions. Overall a great time of meeting cute dogs while my Aussie gets to burn some energy!

Vasa Park is owned and operated by Scandinavian Park, Inc. I don't believe it is open on a daily…read morebasis except for park events, such as the Scandinavian Day Festival, which Christopher and I attended today, There aren't many of us Scandahoovians around anymore, so the Norwegians, Swedes, Danes, Finns and Icelanders have grouped together to celebrate a shared heritage. Thus, Vasa park was born many years ago. I believe it was originally a Swedish park, but times and lack of new immigrants brought all the Scandinavians together. The park sits on the Fox River. It is ideally suited for festivals and such. Today we enjoyed Scandinavian food and entertainment and also the company of good friends Laura A, Karen P and Lisa S, who just happen to be Yelpers as well. Will be back next year for sure, and maybe even check out the Fish Boil in October. It was a bit of a ride from Chicago, but aside from an excessive amount of pesky wasps, it was a great day in a nice setting with good friends.

In response to the review below,…read more Vasa Park rents out the Facility for concerts, festivals, reunions, weddings, and more. When we hold our own private events we do allow outside drinks and have never had an issue with parking. Unfortunately during a private event it is up to the person running the event and not up to the venue itself as to who allows outside food and drink. So please do not blame the park for the issues you had with a specific event such as a concert. We do appreciate you visiting the park. We also hope you do choose to visit for one of our personal events. And if you choose to come please feel free to bring any outside food you choose. We are not ashamed of anything because we work very hard to keep this park running. thank you

What a better way to enjoy a huge enclosed forest for your doggy. You will also enjoy the freedom…read moreto let your dog run with out a leash. Unfortunately my dog would not walk unless he had a leash lol. It is a beautiful place to get your heart pumping. The only down side there is a lot of mud and millions of little white rocks so your car it is going to get dirty. Over all I had a lot of fun walking a little nervous but the park is really fenced all around and it had safe doors so your dog is not goi g to run away when someone comes in or walks out. Safe first it is actually more secure then a park for kids. Come and bring your doggy you will have fun

But they decided to tear up the mobile home park and toss a disc course in it's place. Not bad, not bad. Oh and don't worry about finding this place, it's on North Street (the street by the yellow wood supply building) and just north of the railroad tracks, right next to the skate park. As I said, mobile home park prior to the park being made. You set foot here and you catch whiffs of the sewage and the 'great' Kishwaukee River. Again, not too hard for a beginner to sink their teeth here. The first four holes are my favorite- not too short and not too easy. Over all, if you can tee nicely you won't have a difficult time. When it rains, the river rises and floods out hole 8 and will leave your shoes muddy. Heads up on the geese over here, they tend to be combative. 13 is unlucky for this guy. I've teed off nicely only to find my disc hit the only hard patch and skip into the river. There is a pond here so be careful of arrant throws since you will be testicle high in water that may or may not have been used as a giant urinal. That doesn't stop the locals from making a day of it and fishing it though. Please them with a couple of Bud Lights and they'll show you them whites. Replay: High.
