East Side Sports Complex Dog Park St. Charles, IL 60174

"Great mulched dog park with jungle gym equipment and separated space for swimming in the pond and another separate space for small dogs. The pond space needs some shade and they need to turn the fountains on to increase the water movement but this is the most accessible water for your do aside from east-branch dog park and a much more controlled environment."

"Great spot for my pup to run around and wear herself out. Sadly no pup friends today but she's enjoying running by herself, smelling all of the smells. Next time I'll bring the one leash for the pond, which I know she will enjoy. Really only issue is that the pond is not fenced all around, so she could swim away. We will be back for sure."

"This is a pretty great dog park considering it's 100% free and no permits are required. I wish the small dog area was a bit larger though, and also had an airlock like the big dog area, particularly because there's a rather large gap by the gate that a small dog could slip through. It's worth noting you have to enter the big dog area to get to the beach. There are picnic benches inside each area to sit which is nice."

"You aren't lost - it's located at the end of a dead end road of industrial businesses. There are multiple "sections" and each section is fenced and has a latching gate. One area is for small dogs, one is for large and all sizes. The section for large/all dogs has wood chips, a few pieces of agility equipment, and a covered picnic bench area. Pups can access a grassy area leading to a small beach and pond with a running path that borders the pond; the path part is not fenced. Also, the are outdoor bathroom facilities (not porta potties). People who come here tend to be friendly and mind their dogs behavior well."

"This dog park has always been a great experience for us. There's a main fenced in dog run with a few dog agility obstacles (mine aren't smart enough to use them, but hey) and a covered pavilion with picnic tables for the humans (or dogs). There's also a separate pond area for the dogs to swim. While it is not completely fenced in, the fence extends about 20 feet into the water deterring them from going up on shore outside the fenced area. I don't let my hound off leash outside a fenced area ever, but feel pretty confident she's not going to escape this partially fenced in pond area either. It's a a great spot to introduce your dog to the water. Finally, the other dog owners have always been very friendly to talk with and respectful of the general etiquette of a dog park. There's no fees or registration required to use this park (unlike many others in nearby towns)."
