Mayslake Forest Preserve Dog Park

location_onOak Brook, IL

Part of the Mayslake Forest Preserve near Oak Brook, this off-leash dog area sits on DuPage County preserve land in the western Chicago suburbs, giving dogs a natural setting to roam. It is listed as free to use, though county forest-preserve dog areas often require a seasonal permit, so check the preserve's page before your first visit. Fencing, surface, and hours are not confirmed here, and preserve off-leash areas tend to be open rather than fully enclosed, so keep a close eye on a dog with a shaky recall. DuPage winters bring cold and snow, and the ground can get muddy in spring, so plan footing and timing. Carry your own drinking water and waste bags, and stay within the marked off-leash boundaries.
