Fred Anderson Park

Probably my favorite dog park in the city, because they have an enclosure for smaller or gentle dogs and one for the big rough housers. Plenty of space for hoomans to park it, lots of exciting things for my pup to sniff about and explore. Excellent dog park for all seasons and well maintained.

I recently tried this park for the first time and was very impressed. This place is very clean and has great features like a water run, artificial turf, water falls and fountains, and benches and tables. This place was full of friendly dogs and friendly people. It is also separated out by size of dog, so everyone is comfortable with the dogs in their space.

Love LOvE this park! We live right next to it and take our dog there about 3 times a day! Meet some amazing people there and always so amazed at how clean it is! Highly recommend :)

My dog loves this park. Space for the dogs to run, a fun water feature to keep cool in the summer and nice seating areas for owners. There is a separate area for big dogs and little dogs. The fake grass is great because it’s low maintenance and keeps my dog from getting muddy after a romp. There are always other people with their dogs and most of the dogs are quite friendly and ready to have fun. Definitely the best dog park in the neighborhood and a great place to exercise and socialize your dog.

All I can say is WOW!!!
I love this park for my doggy!
I love the fact that the big dogs are separated from the smaller ones.
The people are very pleasant and the doggies really have a great time.
I have a 5 month old Cocker Spaniel I love to watch him run and chase his friends.
There is a fountain for the doggies to wet themselves or drink from as well as another water fountain for drinking. This park is so nice. I drive here because I don’t live close by but the trip is well worth the great time my pooch has.
Oh and this is a very clean park. Everyone cleans up very well.
Very satisfied !

Wow! My dogs second favorite spot in town to Montrose Dog Beach. Can easily spend hours here, great location, great dogs, and great owners!

We love going to this park, it’s nice, clean and lots of friendly dog owners. I can not express enough how clean this park is green grass, water falls and kiddie pools. Our dog loves to come here.
While here I encourage dog owners to chat with others and of course CURB your dog. I have seen more poop angels than offenders.
Wonderful park.

This is Josie’s favorite park!
She’s a tiny dog and loves that the big dogs are separate from the small dogs.
Josie loves the water on the hot summer days.
The faux grass prevents any muddy paws which I love.
And there is a nice little shaded area for doggie owners.
Parking is good in the area too but one side of the street is metered.

Gorgeous new park for the dogs in the South Loop. It’s got fake dog grass, drinking fountains, tables, benches, interesting walls, and best yet: water features for the summer. The large dog area is really quite large and perfect for running and playing fetch with a chuck-​it.
My pup loves it here. There are two separate areas to play for small and large/​rambunctious dogs, but my 22 pound mutt of course wants to run on the big side.

This brand new park exceeds my expectations. It opened a week ago, which, admittedly is a weird time to open a park but it’s big, nicely designed and the Astroturf in the dog areas is great. So far, people are actually cleaning up after their dogs but I fear that by summer this place will be overrun with dogs and people. As it is, it’s already very popular. Overall, it’s really nice and a good addition to the South Loop. Let’s keep it clean, fellow dog lovers!
