About this park
A well-kept fenced park wedged between the Lakefront Trail and Lake Shore Drive: all grass and woodchips, no concrete, with shade trees and plenty of benches. It doesn't usually get crowded, so dogs have real room to run.

💡
Before you go
Access is only from the Lakefront Trail. If driving, park near Lawrence and walk in. Water bowls are set out but there's no fountain; bring your own water to fill them.
