About the Park
This fully fenced grass dog park on Peoria's north side, known locally as the upper dog park, pairs an enclosed perimeter with soft turf underfoot. That combination is a practical one: the fence lets you unclip the leash safely, while the grass surface is easy on paws for dogs that like to run and roll. It sits in the 61604 area of Peoria, a mid-sized city on the Illinois River in the central part of the state. Entry is free as a public park. Posted hours are not listed in our records, so check on site before an early or after-dark visit. Amenities beyond the fencing and grass are not documented, so bring your own water and waste bags to be prepared.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go

Best of all, upper dog park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
