Lakewood Dog Park

"10/10 recommend. Courteous dog owners! The place is 60+ acres fenced in with a TON of trails, both you and your pup will stay fit!! Absolutely incredible place. Definitely wear boots/old sneakers. Most paths are mulched, but in winter especially very soggy!"

"Huge area. Tons of trails. Kept up very well. Tons of happy dogs. Must go place for your dogs happiness."

"My dog absolutely adores this park! Every time we head there, his tail wags uncontrollably with excitement. The space is vast and well-maintained, allowing them to run freely and interact with other dogs. The shady spots and clean water stations show that the park truly considers our pets' needs. It's not just a playground for dogs but a social hub for them and their owners alike. Without a doubt, it's our go-to spot for outdoor fun!"

"Extensive trails though woods and fields! The largest off leash dog park I’ve ever seen. Note: The only dog watering hole is up the hill behind the parking lot. Best place in Lake County to walk your dog off leash. Municipalities, the remainder of the Lake County Forest preserves and McHenry County Conservation District need to get with the program!! How hard is it to fence off part of your parks and make an off leash facility?? Why is this dog park the only one for miles in any direction?"

"This is the best dog park in the area! It's huge and well maintained, with trails that go into the woods that you can walk through with your dog(s). The people that go here are always so friendly. There are park benches if you decide to bring lunch or snacks for a picnic with your pet, a gazebo in the middle of the park. I recommend to bring water and a bowl and don't leave your dog on it's leash!"
