Very big! Great for my big dog. I wish there were more dogs here tho for him to play with.

This is the best dog park we’ve ever visited. The park is incredibly clean, safe, and fun. My pup loved playing with the many toys and obstacles throughout the park. There’s a divider to separate aggressive or anxious pups as well as first aid kits through the park.

An ABSOLUTE staple serving the south side of Chicago. It is incredibly well-kept, thanks to the manager volunteering his time & passion, along with great upkeep from fellow good citizens/dog owners. I love chatting with fellow visitors as our dogs run in the huge space and play on the many park elements. Eternally grateful for this space and community.

I've been to a lot of dog parks in a lot of states. This dog park is by far the most interesting. Todd has done a lot of work and there are a lot of stories behind each piece. If you and your dog are on the southside of Chicago and want a place to play, just Google Jackson Bark. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing dog park! Lots of space for dogs to run around. There are many things that makes this park stand out more than other parks in Chicago, but one of them is definitely the fact that they have a first aid kit! Everyone knows how dogs can be, so its better to be safe!! Free parking if you use google maps to get here!

The best dog park in Chicago, no contest. We love taking our girl to play here and jump on all the fun equipment. The park is huge, so there's always space for plenty of dogs to run around. Owners and their dogs are nice, and a first aid kit is available as well as hand sanitizer and a washing station. This spot is a DREAM

Great place and a big dog park. Tennis court adjacent to park that dogs use and also grass area that is not gated great for pups that love the grass however that are obitient. Not packed with dogs and great to get all the zoomies out.

These pictures are very misleading... I paid $4 for an hour or less parking, got to the dog park and a lot of the things are broken, biting flies in second half of dog park. The previous pics must have been the park in its prime but now it looks like the land before time. visit at your own risk cause no one is maintaining the park. Restrooms Are not by the dog park more near entrance near traffic light a small gray building Dog-friendliness Yes instead of the park i walked my dog around the main area Picnic area Plenty of different areas for a picnic with soft grass or shade 0:29

Used to be fenced in tennis courts. Now it's like an obstacle course for your dog. It's pretty fun and unique. Definitely a creative park unlike any other in Chicago. It's community maintained and welcoming to all sized pups. Last I saw they added a mini water park and a diy dog bath out of blue recycle bins. Pretty cool!

What a disappointment ☹️ We travelled far to experience this park and it looked abandoned and neglected with overgrown weeds and broken/forgotten obstacles some with rusty nails sticking out and unsafe for dogs to be jumping on them. The parking lot was blocked off and the surrounding tennis courts have overgrown trees, bushes and weeds everywhere. It’s a shame the money that was used to build this park didn’t include the maintenance of up keeping it. Definitely not worth the trip.
