This petition, supported by the undersigned, is directed to the Chicago Park District Managers, Park District decision makers, and other interested City Officials to show community support for the construction of a Dog Park in the area of Lincoln Park behind 5649 N Sheridan Road and West of Lake Shore Drive.
Chicago city ordinance mandates dogs are kept on a leash in public areas for the protection of fellow residents, as well as the dogs themselves. Several Dog Friendly Areas have been constructed over the years to provide safe places for dogs to gather and play legally \"off-leash\". Currently, the nearest dog friendly area is Margate Dog Park which is approximately one mile south.
We are asking the Chicago Park District to build a Dog Friendly Area for the following reasons:
(1) There is not a facility in our area to accommodate safe,
im still pushing the park district to look at the space behind sheridan because the walk to margate is way too long for a lot of neighbors. honestly reading the stories you guys are dropping in the comments makes me even more sure that we need this local fenced in spot.

i honestly cant believe how fast this has grown. seeing so many neighbors jump on board is a huge sign that we really need this space and i love the energy behind it.

About time. That lot is just gathering trash anyway. Put it to use for the dog owners in this area.

Yes please! My pup needs somewhere to run around near the lake. There is so much unused grass sitting right there anyway.

We need this bad. Walking all the way to Margate in the winter is a total nightmare with a high energy dog.

Finally! Getting tired of people just letting their dogs run loose on the sidewalk because there is no fenced space nearby.

This would be amazing for the neighborhood. So many dogs in these buildings and nowhere to let them burn off energy.
