Our Story
The McKinley Dog Park Advisory Council, is a group of individuals from the McKinley Park area who are interested in starting a safe, legal Dog Friendly Area in Chicago's iconic McKinley Park, which rests on nearly 70 acres of Chicago's South Side, on Pershing between Western and Damen. If you are interested in joining the committee and playing a role in the fundraising for and development of a dog park, please email [email protected] . **ALL PRESS INQUIRIES--PLEASE EMAIL AND DO NOT USE FACEBOOK MESSENGER! THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO CONTACT OUR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBERS!** We want to create a beautiful, well-maintained space open to all dog lovers and friends who will be willing to uphold the park’s rules and restrictions. We aim for this dog park to be a community project, supported in large part by volunteer dog advocates and maintained in partnership with the Chicago Park District. There are currently zero dog parks south of 15th Street. Why opening a dog park in McKinley Park would be a smart move: -There are no public dog parks in our area to accommodate safe, off-leash dog activities. - Such a park would allow families with dogs to spend more quality time with their pets. - It would reduce angst between dog owners, non-owners, police and park authorities regarding dog access to other city parks. - This park would increase opportunities for residents to interact with their neighbors and help create a sense of community. - Many dogs need exercise above and beyond human limitations; furthermore, many dog owners do not have a yard where their dogs can spend time outside, and leashes greatly limit the dog’s space and pace. - Socializing dogs is very beneficial to the community, since it makes them less skittish and can mitigate aggressive behavior when meeting other dogs and people. - Regular exercise is great for any dog's longevity and weight control, and the overall effect of regular exercise makes most dogs calmer and better behaved. If you would like to be involved in our efforts, you can email [email protected].
We meet quarterly and post our meetings on this page.
