Chicago Belmont Harbor Dog Beach

A warm Sunday afternoon brings lots of dogs and dog owners to the Lake Michigan beach at Belmont Harbor. Much smaller than the area and beach at Wilson Ave which is usually referred to as the Montrose Street Beach.
The boats moored in the background are beautiful sight. Must be careful to not throw the tennis balls or other flotation toys too far as your dog could swim up to and get in the way of the boats. Also, parking at this facility is $10 on a Sunday while parking is free at Montrose Beach, but the city of Chicago is getting ready to change that and start charging for all the parking along the Lake front.
Whichever beach you choose will probably make you dog happy so bring them out for some fun in the sun. To view all the Chicago Dog Parks be sure to visit the Chicago Dog Park Map on our home page. http://www.ChicagoDogPads.com

Wiggly Field

Wiggly Field is not where the Chicago Cubs win ball games; it is 1 of 15 Dog Parks provided by the City of Chicago Park District. Located at the corner of Sheffield and Schubert it is a convenient location for many Lincoln Park and Lakeview residents. Seems to be a high level of neighborly involvement and volunteering with keeping the Park clean and keeping water in the swimming pools. If your dog loves the water and likes to jump into kids pools this is a good option. The trains (red, purple & brown) going by are a bit noisy, but the dogs don’t care, they are too busy playing or chasing each other.
