Dog parks Chicago has several recommended off-leash dog parks, including Grant Park's relatively new Bark Park and the Montrose Dog Beach. All require a Dog-Friendly Area tag, available through a visit to a Chicago-area vet. Note: Dogs are not allowed in Millennium Park. For looser regulations and more territory, try the 44-acre dog exercise area in Prairie Wolf Forest Preserve in the northern suburb of Lake Forest.
