The Proposed Fred Anderson Park is located between 16th and 18th Streets on Wabash Avenue in the South Loop. As the design for the park develops, the dog friendly area (DFA) is shrinking while the Park District allocates space to a gathering plaza and a covered performance stage. We have enough people parks! Let the people with furry ones have their space! Join us in giving a voice to those of us with four-legged friends and petition for 75% of the park be a dog friendly area!

The Park District is prioritizing performance stages and plazas over the needs of our local pet owners. I am currently reaching out to local representatives to demand they reconsider the current site plan. Text three friends right now and tell them to sign this if they want to keep the dog friendly area in this project.

The momentum behind this park campaign is undeniable and proves the South Loop wants more dedicated space for our dogs. Post this link on your neighborhood Facebook groups today to keep the pressure on the Park District.

Ridiculous that they cut the dog area for a stage. Nobody is going to use that stage, but we use the dog park every single day.

We need this space. Bringing my dog to the park is the only way he gets exercise.

WAY too much concrete in the plans. Give us the green space for the dogs!

My dog has nowhere to go. Stop prioritizing stages nobody asked for and help the pet owners in this neighborhood.

The south loop is way too crowded for dogs. My pup needs room to actually run instead of just sitting on a concrete pad.

Please fix this plan. The dog area is way too small as it is.
