Chicago’s most valuable real estate is it’s Lakefront. I am so happy that the early settlers & developers of Chicago had the foresight and vision to protect the most precious and irreplaceable real estate, the lake front.
One of Chicago’s official dog parks is Montrose Beach Dog Park, see video to appreciate how dogs and dog owners enjoy a sunny summer afternoon.
A volunteer group known as Mondog, has been very instrumental in helping to keep the beach clean, safe and user friendly. This past Saturday, 6/5/2010 they did a fund raiser/bake sale to collect some money to help with the upkeep and continued improvement of the dog park. 
Next Saturday, 6/19/2010 there is a volunteer clean up secheuled from 9am to 12pm at Montrose Beach. Again coordinated with the efforts of the Mondog.org group. They could certainly use your help so if you enjoy the beach with your pooch, might be a good idea to give a helping hand, contribute to community and the facility you use. If you don’t have a dog, I suggest you adopt one from a local shelter or just come out to help MonDog clean up our area known as Chicago’s Montrose Dog Beach. Free Parking.
