Dog Parks and Dog Beaches in Chicago
There Are 15 Dog Parks and Beaches in Chicago that Allow Your Dog to Roam Unleashed
Chicago, IL 60610
United States of America
Dog parks and beaches in Chicago require a special tag from the city. You can get this permit from most vets for a nominal fee of $5.00. If you enter a dog park or beach without this tag you can face fines of up to $1000 and/or 6 months in prison (wow!).
Each dog park or beach has its own set of rules and regulations and hours which it is open. A Chicago Park District sign at the entrance of each park is posted that will spell out that particular park's guidelines.

Apparently there are lots of dog lovers in Chicago. I wish we had a dog beach here on the SC coast. Good list of resources.
That's a lot of dog beaches and dog parks!
