It’s a great space for dogs to run around! It is not as crowded as other dog parks and the layout allows you to keep an eye on your dog at all times. There is easy access to water and they even have a little pool for dogs to use!

It's kind of secluded. Mosquitoes all over, but it's a good size and they have a water fountain, a sprinkler and little pool the dogs can use only gave 3 stars bc of parking. It's difficult to find and a walks away so would not recommend for ppl that need to travel by car

It's good in that it's a nice little park, and the decent one in the area. The park district should give them more of the land south of the current location, with all the grass.

Our first trip to Grant Bark Park was amazing! We came for a doodle meet up and were so impressed with the double fenced in facilities, the benches and seating options and the added bonus of a hose and kiddie pool for the pups to play in. The dog park is kind of hidden but with two entry points from either Columbus Drive or 11th Street, we will be sure to find our way back!

This dog park is quite unique. The seating is ample (for humans) and the dog park has sufficient space for the doggos to run and play. There is a water fountain and water bowls so each species can remain hydrated. This little hidden gem is a lovely surprise in one of the greatest parks in America.

This is by far one of chicagos best dog parks. No membership required free to the public, next to a tennis court so the dog park is always stocked with balls for the dogs to play, they have kiddie pools for the dogs, running water. Place is super clean, people are super friendly. Just have to watch out for this ignorant lady who let's her dog hump other dogs and then gets mad when you pull her dog off your dog. If you can't control your dog please do everyone a favor and don't bring them to any dog park. Other than that this is a great park for any pup.

This place is kinda hidden. I'm sure the residents know where it is, but as a visitor I found it very hard. The park next door is completely closed for lollapalooza, and they won't let you walk in certain areas. And there are no signs indicating where it is from the sidewalk. The google maps walking option gets you there though. They have access to water and some shaded areas as well as places to sit. If it was more visible to passerby I would give it 5 stars.

Just moved to Chicago three weeks ago. I love the park because the people and pups there are super nice! Or maybe it’s just that Chicagoans are nice, good people!! Wish it was larger and with grass and not pavement...but I get that that would be super expensive to maintain. Just donated a small amount to the South Loop Dog pac peeps, but would give more if this park could be expanded and converted to one like the Fred Anderson one.
