This is almost the perfect dog park. There's separate, fenced areas for large and small dogs…read more There's a dog "lock" area that facilitate entering/exiting. There are little doggy water fountains so your pup doesn't get dehydrated. If you get hungry/thirsty, the BP gas station is just steps away (they have Fair Oaks ice cream). All this on the farm's septic system mound.

Love it here! If you're looking for socialization I'd try a different park because I've never run…read moreinto anyone else here, but my dog just wants a bigger space to run so he enjoys it. There is a shaded bench and table in the field for the humans and a secondary side for smaller dogs. They do also have a dog water fountain and it's located inside the main area. 4 stars because it is just a fenced in property- no obstacle course or anything, and doesn't have a posting about vaccinations so use with caution, but I've always had a good experience here.

I am not a dog owner but I really like living in a town with a dog park, I think it's a great idea…read more That way the dogs can run free in an area where they won't scare children or startle bikers or joggers. I wish everyone in Frankfort would use the dog park instead of the Plank Trail as that would keep the Trail free of dog poo. That would be good for everyone else on the Trail and the dogs would be happy also. It is easy to register, pay the nominal fee and get a key card at the Park District office. The fees help to maintain the park. Have a dog in Frankfort? Check out the dog park.

Frankfort IS a hell of a lot more appealing since this park is there though. $50 and proof of your pup's shots gets you a year long membership. Included in that is private access to a massive enclosure that's all soft grass. There's shaded areas, free poop bags, and a time out section if your dog gets a little too excited to be frolicking out in the sun. It's honestly my dog's favorite place to play, and I don't even mind driving about 45 minutes from the city to do so.

Not bad, it does get pretty dusty because there is a serious lack of grass at the dog run…read more The dog run is a nice fenced in area directly off US 41 and there is parking available either on location or you can park at the Wicker Park Golf Course and use the running path to get there. The park is busiest (and most fun) on saturday mornings when there are plenty of dog lovin' people around. Do bring some water for your pooch because I've looked and looked, but couldn't find a fauces, fountain or spigot anywhere. Considering how few off leash dog runs are in this area, I'll be coming back from time to time.

The Nature Center has been redone, and it looks great, and the hiking trails are pretty good. Yes, this part of Illinois is mostly unremarkable for wildlife, but in just a few minutes, we found a tangle of snakes near us sunning in a pond (it's a brain teaser to count how many, see attached). Plum Creek is also famous for its hill. Even in springtime, it's fun to see who can run up and down the fastest. Of course, when there's snow, the competition is really on.
