OTHER DOG PLAY AREAS
Pooch Park (Evanston) The 2.7 acre park is a fenced, off-leash outdoor recreation facility, with seperate puppy/small dog and agility areas. It is located at 3220 Oakton St. (Channelside Park) and requires a $45 registration, similiar to the process of dog beach registation. http://www.cityofevanston.org/parks-recreation/parks/pooch-park/
Montrose Beach (Chicago) The dog beach is located on the Northwest corner of Montrose Beach (the point closest to the city). Just follow Wilson Avenue east until it curves to the left at the lake. Look for the big corrugated steel walls of the old Boat Launch. The main entrance to the beach is through the boat launch, and down the ADA ramp. There is a second entrance on the beach to the right (south) of the boat launch at the end of the path, and down the rockwall. All DFA (dog friendly areas) require a registration ($5 for a DFA tag), but this is not checked at the beach. http://mondog.org/
Gillson Park (Wilmette)
This is a really pretty, big park for walking. There is also a dog beach that is rarely locked and monitored - much more low-key than Evanston! http://www.wilmettepark.org/lakefront/dog-beach
Prairie Wolf
This park is about 30 minutes north of Evanston and has a forest preserve area where you can walk the trails with your dog off-leash. Also includes a small lake where dogs can swim. It's doggie heaven!
Dog area is located at IL-43 S/South Waukegan Road - The entrance and parking area for the dog exercise area are separate, located on Waukegan Road (Rte 43) south of Old Mill Road and north of Half Day Road (Rte 22). http://www.lcfpd.org/dog-parks/prairie-wolf/
