Hamlin Park — Attraction in Lake View Township

It's not great, but it's not awful... This dog friendly area is built like an 'L' around the corner of the tennis courts, so if your dog runs to the other side, you won't be able to see them. The ground is not cement (which is what's common for Chicago Park District dog areas) but instead a mix of soil and woodchips. That's great for their joints if it's dry, but I went after a rainy day and obviously, it was muddy. The fences are not too tall, so if you have a dog who can jump a 4 foot fence, be careful! There is no water fountain, so bring your own bowl - there's a water fountain a short walk away for the rest of the park.

There is also camps during summer which restrict the use of the pool...

I LOVE this park, this is the place where I have played baseball at for my entire childhood. The fields are always in pristine condition when it comes to game time. When it’s a rainy day, the park does it’s best to make the fields dry enough to play on by filling wet spots with dry sand. The playground here is very fun and I used to play in it when I was younger and it was so much fun. Overall, this park is amazing and it will always hold a special place in my heart, I recommend this place to anyone, looking for a youth baseball league, or just taking their kids here to...
