    Playground
    Edwin C.

    Nice scenic area for dogs and kids to play. Good amount of trees plus shade. Plenty of places to sit with trash cans to keep the park clean.

    This slide is connected to a great climber.

    New play equipment! Great small neighborhood park. Some of the best play equipment we've seen. Quality over quantity. Giant multi-person swing, fun squishy hills, big slide, spin chairs, mini-slide, safe merry-go-round and a super cool climber.

    Fun playground for kids

    Such a lucky blessing to have the fantastic Fred Anderson Park in the friendly South Loop. Have met…read moreso many wonderful neighbors and their adorable dogs to become friends with over the last few years since moving here. Park was voted as one of the top five dog parks in Chicago and you can definitely see why. Spacious areas dividing large versus smaller dogs is a huge win to ease owners' anxieties over possible fights. Each section has comfortable and plentiful places to sit/relax. Each side also has working water fountains during the summer, which the dogs absolutely love playing in. Also gives a refreshing ambience during the hot days. Surrounded by plush trees, give one instant vacation vibes. Next to the dog areas is a wonderful performing area for live music and other family activities. Chicago Women's Park manages this park well - always maintained and tidy. They even provide complementary poop bags.

I love that there is a small dog section that is separate from where the big dogs play. However, it does not feel like an afterthought. It is still spacious and nicely appointed. There's a pretty strong community feel here. Everyone is friendly and if you're consistent, you'll see familiar faces. I'm really thankful to have something like this in the area.

    Chicagoland is pretty good about saving some space for nice little neighborhood parks. We helped…read morefriends set up a Sunday morning kids' birthday party at Prairie District Park, a block north of Cermak, two blocks east of Michigan, kitty-corner from Suntrust Basketball Arena. Well, we always said "kitty"-corner. Some say "caddy", or "catty", or "cater", and it's claimed to be from "quatre" describing opposite corners of a 4-spot square. I might as well get it over-with and admit we grew up calling every overgrown lot a prairie! It's a 14000-square-foot fenced park. About 3/4 of it is a separately fenced kids play area with several 4-seat tables, encircled by a bricked walkway with five more 4-seat tables, separate from a smaller fenced dog-park with it's own paved walkways. The two "inner" parks each have their own gates, so only the walkway has a gate directly out to the street, a thoughtful safety feature. We got there about 9am, too late for the limited street-parking on the front and side of the park, and people who lived too far to walk here found just-enough parking nearby around the neighborhood. We took over two of the tables, one for gifts and one for snacks. There's a rumor of a Starbucks in the hotel across the street, but we brought our own easy-to-handle bottle of cold-brew. Our dozen-or-so mostly 5 and 6-year-olds played for a couple of hours on the swing and climbers and slides, and screamed on the "Dad you're making it too fast" spin-it-yourself 3 or 4-child merry-go-round carousel. They all dressed for the fountain splash-pad! Perfect in the morning during a 90° heat-wave! The parents of one child (we didnt know) from the neighborhood brought an electric car, and their child shared little rides along the bricked walkway. A number of us enjoyed watching the dogs "next door" through the fence, and in fact the dogs were all friendly and quiet! We closed with a home-hade piñata of treats held-high because there really was no strong tree or structure in the walkway to support it. A lovely morning in a fun park in a friendly neighborhood. That's the report from Chicago, "the Paris of the prairies" :-)

I love that they make sure the dogs are prepared before they allow them to swim alone. They set them up to be safe and successful. Making an appointment was super easy. I left a message, and they called back shortly after. The second time, I left a message with times that would work, and Laurie called back to confirm what she had.

    I'm deeply disappointed by my recent experience with Doggy Paddle, despite the fact that there are…read morethings they do well. The instructors who actually swim with the dogs are consistently lovely, kind, and attentive (Julian especially), and the facilities are clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, the customer service and administrative processes completely undermine those positives. Last August, after my friend's dog Maverick passed away, she contacted Doggy Paddle to transfer his remaining swims to me as a goodwill gesture in his memory (he swam there regularly for several years). Doggy Paddle accepted the transfer -- they requested and received my dog's vet records the same day. However, I never received any confirmation via email or text showing how many swims were transferred, what type they were, or when they expired. There is also no online portal or way for customers to check their balance or expiration dates. Over the following months, Doggy Paddle emailed me multiple times asking for a fecal test, which reasonably implied the swims were active. At no point did anyone mention an expiration date or warn that the swims were nearing expiration. When I attempted to schedule a swim this month, I was told the transferred swims had expired and that I needed to purchase a new package. Apparently, the swims my friend had purchased had expired one year after purchase, on January 1, 2026. When I called to discuss this, they acknowledged there had been no communication on their part to confirm the package was transferred or to share terms/conditions, but repeatedly stated that it was my responsibility to ask or my friend's responsibility to tell me the expiration date, and that expiration dates do not reset upon transfer. They refused to make any exception or accommodation and said there was "nothing they could do." Sorry, but asking my grieving friend when her passed dog's swim packages expired wasn't a priority. This should have been on Doggy Paddle to communicate to the customer at time of transfer. They'd already earned the money from the previous sale; they lost nothing by extending the expiration date a little longer. I requested that they extend the expiration by four weeks and we'd come swim during that time, and they said no. Scheduling itself is also unnecessarily frustrating. You can only book via text or email, which often becomes a long back-and-forth, and there is no transparency about available times -- you can't see a schedule, only ask and wait for someone to tell you what's open. Holding customers to expiration policies that were never disclosed, combined with limited scheduling access and no account visibility, is extremely frustrating. The lack of empathy given the context -- a transfer following a dog's death -- made the experience even more disappointing. It's unfortunate, because the staff and facility are unique in Chicago. My dog loves swimming and we relied on Doggy Paddle during rehab, but I will not go again. This was a senseless policy to hold the line on given the circumstances.

    A year of movement!…read more Over the years of participating in different events, I have come to realize that I don't have to be as fast as the person next to me. In front of me, or even behind me. I do have to move, and it starts with a single step. The host kept announcing on the microphone; "your race, your pace". Just the motivation I needed. I mean standing in one spot waiting for your corral to start while FREEZING in the Chi made a lot of people not even want to start. When it was finally our turn, they announced that we should be careful due to high winds. Did I already mention it was cold? The wind gave me the boost I needed to improve my pace especially by the water. If the Shamrock Shuffle is something you have been thinking about, all levels are welcome. There was a 1 mile walk the day before and yes, you do earn a medal. The day of there is a 2 mile walk and the 8K. You CAN do it. Please register early as it does sell out.

There were clean stocked public restrooms.
