New Dog Park Opens in Highland Park

The following information comes from the Park District of Highland Park.

Located at Larry Fink Memorial Park, the Park District's new dog park is open year round, dawn to dusk. 

There are two fenced areas, one for larger dogs, and one for smaller dogs. Permits are required and can be purchased at Heller Nature Center.  

Other dog parks in Highland Park include:

Locations:
