Whalon Lake Dog Park

Nice park Lake has usually been good fishing when I fish. Dog park you need a permit $20 for 6 months according to patron I asked said they don't charge if it is a 1 time visit. This photo is a short walk south of dog park.

Well maintained off leash areas for large and small dogs. Excellent year round location for your dog(s) to blow off energy and rest when they get back home.

This park offers open space, bike trails, mowed trails, pavilions, prairie, marsh, historic relics, large and small dog park, fishing, kayaking, wildlife, deer, trees and overall pristine natural beauty. It’s a hidden gem that has different personalities each season of the year and time of the day. Hope you go enjoy this beautiful nature preserve.

Bike/ walk trails, picnic tables and grills available, beautiful scenery. A bit of city noise so not a total escape from it but pretty close. We saw herons, geese, ducks, turtles... veeeeeery lively there with animals.

If we still lived in the area, we definitely would have continued our membership. Absolutely worth every penny, assuming you actually bring your dog. The park is gigantic and is split up into two sides. This allows for the grass to heal on one side and not get too muddy. The park rangers do come and check for passes from time to time so if you intend on trying to sneak in for free, be wary that they actually do check. Overall, the park is very well maintained. Owners who go here are responsible and actually clean up after their dogs. We now live closer to a free park which is nice, but the size and quality of Whalon Lake is unmatched.

I love the fact that there is a separate small dog park. My little girl is afraid of big dogs and the small park is still huge enough for her to run and run. The park is very well kept up and so clean.

It was a beautiful day and the associates were friendly as they answered our questions and helped with the rental kayaks.

It was awesome! My wife and I are up here visiting from North Carolina, and we Google to find this park. We took our small dog in and around! Other than being mad at you because of all the snow that's occurred over the last couple of weeks, it was lots of fun and there's lots of open space for him to run around!

Well kept Restrooms They need to be a little bit more clean Dog-friendliness Totally friendly!

Best outdoor place in the middle of busy suburban landscape. Good for canoeing, paddle boat, skate board or just walk/run. A new bridge has made this place even more scenic. A dog park makes it even more attractive for pet owners. Don't forget to take a picture and post it on social media accounts for the park
