Welcome to the wonderful world of dogs. Our beloved pets that dictate our every move around them. I would like to touch upon the variety of dog parks around the Lake County region. These parks are designed specifically with your dog in mind. These wonderful parks provide the space and security for your dog to exercise OFF leash. These parks are 100% fenced in either by nature or of manmade origin. They allow your dog to socialize, play, swim, and have a darn good time. The parks provide peace of mind while your pet romps and stomps their way into a social gathering of their own kind. They also allow their human owners to socialize too. The breed diversity at the parks is as unique as their owners. You will find your pet sleeping like a baby when you get home from a day at the dog park.
If you are interested in spending time at one of the dog parks of Lake County, you will need a daily permit, which can be purchased at any dog park for $5 for lake county residents. Non-residents will have to pay $10 a day. Yearly permits are also available. The self-pay stations are located in the parking lot of each exercise area.
Be aware of the posted signs as you enter the parks. The park rangers are always close at hand and add an extra feeling of security while at the park. Make sure you use your mutt mitts and always pick up after your pet. There is a $75 fine for not picking up. There is also a detailed list of do's and don'ts for added security.
The first park I will address is Independence Grove in Libertyville. This 30-acre area is located on Milwaukee Avenue (Route21) one-half mile north of Buckley Road (Route 137) The park is fenced on three sides and the fourth fence is made up of the mighty Des Plaines River. There is always some sort of wildlife along the river.
The second park is in Wauconda. This park is the Big Daddy of them all. It is 68-acres of entirely fenced large open meadows and training enclosures. It also has a comfort station with water fountain.This park is located on Fairfield Road just north of Route 176.
The third and my personal favorite is Duck Farm in Lindenhurst. I have become a regular here as many have. It is very secure with many familiar faces. This park is located on Grand Avenue (Route 132) just east of Route 83. This park has a comfort station and drinking fountain also. This is a 48 acre play ground for your pet.
The fourth park is Prairie Wolf, in Lake Forest. It is a fenced 44-acre site, located on the east side of Waukegan Road (Route 43), south of Old Mill Road and north of Half Day Road (Route 22). The park has large fields, a swimming pond, trails, drinking fountain and training enclosures. Great place for all our water loving dogs.
Remember, before entering the park, read the rules, pay the permit, pick up after your pet, and make new friends.
