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
