Bark Park “Bark Park?”
The Lake in the Hills Dog Park, located at the “Dog Leg” on Haligus Road just across from Sunset Park, is a 10-acre park for dogs and their people.
The Bark Park features: shade, a large running area for your dog(s), onsite parking, and running water. Open from sunrise to 9:00PM daily, the Bark Park provides year-round opportunities for dogs and their owners to socialize as well as exercise… both important to an animal’s health and temperament. A dog park promotes responsible pet ownership as well as allows dogs to legally run off-leash.
The park is divided into three separate areas. One area is exclusively for “Dog Adjustment” and initiating new dogs to the park. The other two sections allow the Parks Division to rest one area while the other area is being used, so we never have to shut down the park for maintenance and repairs.
The Scoop on Poop
ALWAYS carry equipment sufficient to clean up your dog’s waste. Dog waste is not only offensive, it can spread disease and parasites to other dogs and humans. Do not allow your dog to defecate on any public property unless you immediately remove and properly dispose of the waste.
Dog Conflicts
Due to the concentration of dogs, dog conflicts may occur. It is the responsibility of the owners/handlers to maintain control of their dog(s). To prevent injuries, supervise your dog(s) at all times. dog owners are responsible for their own dog(s) and any injuries they may cause. if your dog inflicts an injury, immediately leash your dog, provide your name and phone number to those involved, and leave the dog park. To register a complaint about aggressive dog behavior, call the Parks & Recreation department at 847. 960. 7460. Complaints about aggressive behavior will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and may result in revocation of dog park membership with no refund.
