I've come across aggressive dogs here. No one checks for permits or rabies vaccinations. I do not recommend at all!!!

Our new favorite dog park we just found! This is the perfect place for my dog to pretend like she…read moreis a wild animal lol. 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!

The map doesn't mark the correct location. It's actually on the south side of Mack Road and about…read more1/4 mile from Route 59. The cost is $40 per calendar year and permits can be purchased from the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County at 3S580 Naperville Rd., Wheaton, IL 60189-8761 or by filling out and returning the online form. Permits give you access to all the FPDDC parks. Love this dog park. It is huge and has a decent amount of seating for the owners. I like how there is a play area and walking circle around the inside of the fence. The middle of the park is open and green. Trees and shrubs grow rather freely. Almost all of the dogs have been friendly and haven't caused too much trouble. My dog has gone from wanting to curl up in a corner to actually coming out to wrestle with a few of the smaller dogs. She often gets carried away and even plays with larger breeds. Make sure you bring your own water. They don't have any type of well or tap and it can get very hot. Even if the weather is mild, the dogs get overheated if they play a lot. Most of the people bring their own little coolers.

Not the right place for puppies…read more I tried this park three times with my puppy (Nash who's 5 m), and I won't be going back. The biggest issue is the owners. Too many just don't rlly care. One woman watched her dog chase me and my leashed puppy while I scrambled in circles to get him away. She eventually grabbed her dog's collar and walked off without a word. Nash was leashed every visit except one brief moment when I felt confident letting him off his first time. That's when two other dogs got into a full-blown fight right next to us. A lot of owners just shrugged it off as an "oops." There are some great regulars here, and I'm sure plenty of people enjoy it. But for us, it wasn't safe enough. If you have a puppy, nervous , or a very energetic dog I'd go elsewhere. Just because you don't HAVE to have a leash doesn't mean everyone doesn't NEED them!!!!
