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.
