About the Park
Spring Avenue Dog Park is a 5.25-acre fenced off-leash area in Glen Ellyn, IL, featuring open fields, wood chips, grass, and a small wooded area with walking path. Access requires a paid annual permit and key card entry for security. It offers disposal bags, benches, picnic tables, and free parking nearby.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Spring Avenue Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Spring Avenue Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
