Hamlin Park Dog Friendly Area

I love this park. The ground is covered in gravel. Some parks are cement, which is fine for the rain, but truly isn’t where a dog can run around and get all their energy out. The people that come here are always friendly. I have made many friends and my dog has made even more here

This is the first park in Chicago where I felt safe bringing my small Cockapoo! Other Reviews are spot on :)

Most owners are very conscious of their dog's behavior and address it right away. Great people and awesome dog friends here! It's on the smaller side. No grass, all pea gravel. Located in a very busy family-oriented city park.

Decent sized gravel dog park. No separate large/small dog sections. Gets really crowded after 5 pm. Most owners are attentive and responsible. Standing water does tend to form after rain, so bring a towel to wipe the mud off if you go!

What can I say about this dog park that hasn't already been said. This place is magical. It brings people (and their dogs) together in a way that the baseball fields and tennis courts nearby simply can't. Two years ago I came to this dog park completely alone. No friends, no relationships, no dog. Now everything I have has come from this park. I met my wife here. I've made all my closest friends here. My new dog has met all of his friends here. I found a friendly rival here willing to battle our dogs to see who was the greatest trainer of them all (I lost, but I know now that I need to continue to nurture the bond I have with my dog and continue battling so that he can grow ever stronger). This dog park has been a gift and this review is my thank you... That being said it needs a little TLC. Maybe a hose to wash dogs off when they're done running through the dirt and mud.
