Lincoln Park Puptown - dog playground

This park is perfect for walking dogs. It’s very spacious, has beautiful scenery, and plenty of room for pets to run around and enjoy the outdoors.

Wish the place had grass, but it is a clean, well-kept space. My pups always have so much fun with those little pools.

*Beware of an aggressive Akita and the inattentive owner. Full story below.* I love this park. I have visit this park frequently with my dog since he was a puppy and never had any issues. The park is clean and the people are friendly overall. Pictures of my dog frequenting this park are below. Full story (6/14/24): It started when the Akita was following my dog (I was watching the dogs closely since I wasn't sure if this dog was the same Akita that tried to attack my dog two weeks before this incident - 5/31/24). Unfortunately, The fight broke out and I grabbed my dog and tackled him down to get him away from the Akita. Meanwhile, the owner of the Akita just stood there and never came to get his dog even after I was down on the ground with my dog in a vulnerable position. However, I was lucky that my friend was there to help me shield my dog from the Akita. My friend and her dog also left the park with me after the incident. Shortly after, a woman also left the park with her dog and told us that the Akita was approaching her dog in a similar way, and she also recommended me to write an email to report the incident as well. Even after the incident the Akita owner decided not to leave the park even after we left which is a concern of mine since there were other dogs in the park (as well as the fact that the owner wasn't attentive to his dog). And a side note, my friend and I were there for almost an hour before the incident and we were chilling at the park without any issues. This also wasn’t the first time this happened to me and my dog as a similar circumstance happened two weeks ago. I also respectfully communicated to the person the first time it happened that he should be getting his dog and paying attention but he let this happen the second time. He also never apologized or responded to me verbally during those times as well so I wasn't sure if I was ignored or that he didn't pay attention to what I was communicating to him. Luckily, my dog was not hurt and my injuries were minor. Hopefully you were able to find this information useful. Please be cautious and stay safe!

Convenient, well maintained neighborhood dog park. No grassy area but there is pavement and gravel areas. Water fountains for the pups along with benches for the peeps.

They have water in the spring and summer, but it's turned off when it's cold. Dog owners are generally quite responsible here. There is shade, but when it's really hot I skip the trip, since the paved surface gets pretty hot. Not too big or small, and your dog has a very real chance of getting muddy when it's rained.
