Unfortunately, there is a laundry list of rules listed, including a requirement to get a membership from the city, with a violation fine of $750. However, it does not appear to be enforced, since I talked to another person at the park without a membership.

Forest Park's dog park, just north of I-290, is completely fenced in and covered with mulch. Suzy…read moreGreenberg really enjoys it when there aren't too many big dogs around. Technically you are supposed to get a yearly permit from the village for $10, but I've never seen them come in and check. I have, however, been playing with my dog in the park and gotten a parking ticket for not paying the meter. The meters and permits go to the upkeep of the park, so that's a good reason to go along with the small fees. It gets a little hot in the summer as there is no shade, and the mulch turns into a sheet of ice in mid-winter, but it's a decent park over all. Just watch out for the dogs that seem a little afraid or angry and go with your instincts. Owners don't always realize their dog isn't socialized or comfortable at the park and I have seen fights. I leave rather than take the chance.

So many different breeds of beautiful dogs eager and excited to play with each other, and their parents, as well. And, of course, they can play alone if they desire...Miller Meadows is large enough for you and your pup to have his/her own space to do whatever they like. And, I often get my daily steps in when my doggy and I are at Miller Meadows. There are close to 2 Laps inside the park for a mile. I often get in 10 miles (20 laps) while we're there...No less than 5 miles. And Miller Meadows is one of the Cook County Preserve Parks, and the dog park is just one area of Miller Meadows. There is a beautiful, amazing path/trail on the outskirts surrounding the dog park with a breathtaking walking scenery of forestry, and wild life...the doggies love the deer. And of course, the path is great for not only walking your doggy, but for biking, jogging, rollerblading/skating, and health walking. There are several picnic tables if you wish to relax sit/eat/chat while watching your dog play; and several stations with poop bags. But, THERE IS NO WATER FOUNTAIN/SUPPLY in the dog park...So, the parents bring water, and we keep the many water pans (already there) filled with water for our doggies. Come for a visit...You'll Love It!!

I kid you not the life guard was watching him as well and all he did was jump in the deep end of the pool, he was coming up for air and they blew their whistle and jumped in to, again, "save" him when he didn't need saving at all. They put him in unwanted distress and embarrassed him, made him cry because he was coming up for air. Thankfully there were other lifeguards around who understood the situation and assured us nothing was wrong but what happened was just ridiculous.

It has many amenities that are beneficial to dogs and their owners as well. For sure it makes good use of its land area. There's a fountain for filling bowls and pools. About an acre in area, so it's not a big area. Its surface is covered in wood chips. This is a benefit to pets because it provides extra cushion, plus it protects their paws from hot temperatures. A few things about it are common. It has separate areas for small and big dogs. Best thing here is the water play area. This sprinkles water and owners can fill up pools for dogs to paddle and go swimming. Has a lot to like about it. It's close to the entrance on Irving Park Road. There's benches so owners can relax while their dogs run around and bark at things.
