DuSable Dog Park — Attraction in Saint Charles

Owners beware.

Went here today for the first time, and it was not a good experience. When I first got there, I took a little trip around the park to let my dog do his business and check out the vibe. First thing I noticed is a German Shepherd in the small dog side. Then I count multiple intact males in the big dog side.
