Off-Leash Dog Area (Except Ap 1-July15)

About the Park

This off-leash area in DeKalb comes with an important catch: the name flags a seasonal closure from April 1 through July 15, likely tied to ground-nesting wildlife or field conditions common at open-space sites. Outside that window, dogs can use the space off-leash at no charge, as it is a free public facility. Fencing, surface, and daily hours are not listed, so confirm the current rules and whether the area is enclosed before visiting, and always double-check the seasonal dates locally since they can change. DeKalb sits in flat farm country west of the Chicago suburbs, with cold, open winters. Bring your own water and waste bags, and plan around that spring-to-midsummer closure.
