Dog Behavior and Etiquette

The joy of bringing your dog to the Park requires simple rules of etiquette be followed, as they are for the safety of the dog, as well as citizens who are enjoying a place outdoors.

​

This Park is NOT an authorized Dog Friendly Area (DFA) as defined by the Chicago Park District. Therefore ALL dogs must be leased at ALL times and with the attendant/owner in control of the leash. NO dogs are permitted to be roaming freely, or playing without the restraint of a leash.  The City of Chicago Leash Law, has established fines to be administered to owners who do not follow this ordinance.

​

Because the Park is enjoyed by a diverse community from older citizens, to young children on scooters or playing ball, babies in Day Care groups, to sunbathers seeking peace and tranquility, all dog owners MUST RESPECT everyone by following City of Chicago Ordinance 17-12-420 by picking up their dog's waste.

All pet owners are required to clean up after their pets.

 

This maintains health safety for everyone who enjoys the Park, and secures the well being of landscaping and trees that are imperative to the beauty of Chicago's historic Park.
