About the Park
Part of the Springfield park system, Stuart Dog Park II gives dogs a free off-leash area on the west side of the Illinois capital in the 62704 zone. The Roman numeral in the name points to it being a distinct section at Stuart Park, and the Springfield Parks site keeps an official listing where you can confirm location and rules. Fencing is not confirmed in our records, so keep your dog under voice control near the edges until you have checked the boundary yourself. Surface, hours, and amenities are not documented, so bring your own water and waste bags. Central Illinois summers run hot and humid while winters turn cold, so aim for the cooler parts of the day and check posted signage on arrival.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Stuart Dog Park II 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, Stuart Dog Park II is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
