Miller Meadow — Attraction in Proviso Township

A dog parent utopia exists and it's Miller Meadow. 7 acres, while pretty flat terrain look modest yet sizable of happy fun runs dappled with occasional small trees. The atmosphere is kind, not a bother that I just picled up after your dog - you will do the same pay it forward kind of vibe, with water bowls and an immaculately clean grassy lot with a central coveres pavillion. Everyone is considerate, watchful and helpful. Now for the dogs feedback: LOVE Our two are eager to get into the gated space to meet new pups and run, run, run. They love it. Handfuls of tennis balls and toys are spread out among the field and pet parents often bring a something to share. Every visit there have been one or two dogs but not more than 10 which leaves lots of room for running, play and supervision.

Our dog was in distress so we immediately ran him to an emergency Vet clinic. In following up with The Forest Preserve Police and the Forest Preserve....no one wanted to do anything to help even though we had this guy's license plate number. In retrospect we should have called the FP police after the incident occurred but desperately wanted to get help for our dog. Don't think we will...

The park is nice, patrons of the dog park aren't. I've brought my dog to the area outside the dog park as part of his socialization, but too many dog park patrons don't believe in leashing their dogs when they leave that area and also haven't trained their dogs to be safely off-leash. My dog and I got charged by a LARGE dog as his owner was trying to get him in the car, and we were nowhere near the dog park. All his owner could do was yell that he was friendly while he pretended to recall his dog. Meanwhile my dog thought he was about to...
