Sponsor A Tile Program
We're currently at $800K raised. We just need $150K more to get there with your help!
We're breaking ground this fall!
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 ~$800K committed in a mix of public and private funding. Thank you Alderman Lawson for your $200K of committed menu money funds. We are in need of $150K to complete the park!
How can you help?
If you're interested in helping us reach our goal, here are some ways you can help!

Sponsorship program - If your business would benefit from having a well-maintained and modern dog park in the neighborhood, we would be willing to work with you to make this a reality!
