About the Park
Schererville sits in Lake County, part of the northwest Indiana suburbs within reach of the Chicago metro, and this off-leash park serves dogs across that busy corridor. The town's parks and recreation department runs it as a free public space. Northwest Indiana weather brings cold, lake-effect winters and warm summers, so plan visits around the season and bring water in hot months. Because it is a municipal park, hours and any posted rules are set by the town; the Schererville parks website is the place to confirm them before you go. Expect to clean up after your dog and to keep an eye on the gate. It is a straightforward local option for area residents looking to let dogs socialize off-leash.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Perry Ferrini Dog Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Perry Ferrini Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
