Margate Park

4921 Marine Drive, Chicago

This is one of the nicest Dog Parks I have visited, have visited 12 so far & have 3 to go before I will have visited all 15 of the City of Chicago Park District Dog Parks.
Margate Park, AKA PupTown has a tree protected by a circular fence that allows for a wide circular path should your dog want to run in circles chasing or being chased. They also just planted a River Birch in a corner of the park, one of my favorite trees.
A weather protected bulletin board shares information about requirements to be in the park as well as signs to watch for in the dog interaction. Nice surface with adequate gravel areas for our pups. Overall this has been one of the cleanest and most cared for City of Chicago Dog Parks I have visited. This gets a four paw rating from Tucker.
There is a volunteer organization that meets and cares for this park and it shows, this should be a model for the other 14 Dog Parks in Chicago.
