About the Park
Winnemac Park is a 22.38-acre school-park campus facility in Chicago that includes athletic fields, a scenic prairie garden, nature trail, and playground. Currently, dogs are only permitted on-leash throughout the park.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
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, Winnemac Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.

Location
Note: This park is on-leash only. A Dog Friendly Area (DFA) was proposed to convert the easternmost tennis court into an off-leash dog area, with a $2.5M TIF funding request pending approval as of Fall 2022. The DFA proposal faced community opposition from the Keep Winnemac Green group.
