Dog Parks in Northbrook, IL

Northbrook Dog Park (small dog area) at Coast Guard Park

location_onNorthbrook, IL

Smaller and more timid dogs get their own space at this off-leash area, part of Coast Guard Park on Northbrook's north side. The small-dog section lets lighter, less boisterous pups run without being bowled over by bigger dogs, which is the main reason to bring a nervous or senior dog here. It is a free public facility run by the Northbrook Park District, so there is no membership or day fee to use it. Exact hours and current rules are worth confirming on the park district's page before a first visit, since off-leash areas sometimes carry seasonal or weather-related closures. Northbrook sits in Chicago's northern suburbs, so plan around cold winters and humid summers when timing your outings.
