The Lakeview Dog Park referendum passed with over 80% support on the ballot for the Nov 8, 2022 general election, winning every single precinct! Since that time, we have worked closely with Alderman Bennett Lawson, our other elected officials, and the Park District to make Lakeview Dog Park a reality. Engineering has already started, and we have over $600K committed in a mix of public and private funding, including $100K from the Alderman's menu money funds.
Benefits of a dog park include:
-
Reduce congestion and collisions on area sidewalks and running/biking trails
-
Corral dogs in a fenced location where they are not disturbing other areas and users of the park
-
Provide a safe, fenced area with a water source for owners to exercise and socialize their dogs
-
Reduce incidence of unclaimed pet waste in the public way
Please lend your support to help us make this happen! Thank you!

Our ballot initiative for a new dog park has been approved! While this is a big win for all of us, our work is only just beginning. We are requesting support from individual donors to fund get-out-the-vote efforts, and to design and build Lakeview Dog Park. We ask that you make recurring monthly donations of whatever amount you can afford until the construction is complete. $20, $50, $100—whatever you can give will be appreciated, and no amount is too small or too big.
For tax purposes, Lakeview Dog Park, Inc. NFP (EIN: 84-2161284), is organized as an Illinois not-for-profit corporation and has received federal tax exempt status pursuant to Section 501(c)(3). Your charitable donation is tax exempt to the full extent allowed by law.
