Dog Parks in Illinois

Finding the right park for your pet involves a lot of research. We've attempted to do the legwork in finding parks and cataloging them according to the kinds of parks facilities available at each location.

You may find that the closest park is not necessarily the best park. Only you know what's best for your pet.

Please note also that not all dog parks are free. Some do have a fee.

We also keep information on IL Cemeteries, IL Grooming, IL Trainers, IL Cat Boarding/Catteries, IL Vets/Animal Hospitals, and IL Boarding kennels.

Cities are listed in alphabetical order. If your city is not mentioned explicitly, consider a neighboring city. Remember that the closest city might be in a neighboring state (this is often the case in the NorthEastern United States.)
