Wiggly Field Dog Park
Chicago's classic run with room to sprint and a small-dog side
About this park
Wiggly Field Dog Park is one of Wicker Park's classic community dog parks, with a good-sized run featuring grass, dirt, and some low terrain variation including slight hills and sandboxes. A separate fenced section serves smaller or more anxious dogs, and the park consistently stocks tennis balls and water bowls for visiting pups. The L-train runs nearby, making it one of the louder city parks, but regulars barely notice.
