South Loop Dog Park Action Cooperative (SLDogPAC) shared Jackson Bark's post.
Nothing about fighting for JBark's existence, but plenty of opportunity for other dog park plans to make their plug. No one has worked as hard and has sacrificed as much as we have to build and maintain a dog park on the southside ...and here it is, one of the best dog parks in the whole city (yet ironically not "official") but no peep about it? Let's just let it be bulldozed out of existence, shall we? WTF, SMH & LMAO XD I swear, the more I know about people, the better I like my dogs. At least the video and pics turned out nice, will likely bring more good puparents our way.

South Loop Dog Park Action Cooperative (SLDogPAC) shared South Shore Dog Beach's post.
Sorta looks like once Tiger Woods comes into the picture, the media becomes willing to write about dog parks on the South Side. Well, better late than never... Again acknowledging the efforts of Jackson Bark, B.A.R.C. - Bronzeville Association for Recreation with Canines, Southeast Chicago Dog Park Committee, McKinley Park Dog Park Committee, South Shore Dog Beach and others.
More great coverage by the Tribune. Why are dog parks a Northside thing?

An odd spin to this story "the race to get the first dog park in the south side!" but good to see some movement on this issue after all these years. Acknowledging the efforts of Jackson Bark, B.A.R.C. - Bronzeville Association for Recreation with Canines, Southeast Chicago Dog Park Committee, McKinley Park Dog Park Committee and others.
Note: Cholke has a flair for sensationalism. Based on all that we've gathered, nothing is for sure as of yet, nothing but proposals have been made. Plus, they have 30 million to raise before they can break ground on the golf course. So the time to step up our game, is now. There's no good reason for why we should be the ones to move, when there are by far better options available. www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20170717/kenwood/south-side-dog-park-first-ald-sophia-king-bronzeville-as...

Angie RobertsonAs someone who has been working on getting a dog park on the south side for years, this is kind of overwhelming! I wonder if we could benefit from having our own South Side Dog Park PAC (like SLDOGPAC) so neighborhoods are coordinating in these efforts rather than competing against one another for funding.

South Loop Dog Park Action Cooperative (SLDogPAC) shared One Tail at a Time's post.
Amanda is now our most long term dog- and we just don't get it! We don't get it so much that we decided to help her find her family by adding her to our "Good Dog, Forever Dog" program. That means her adoption fee is waived for the right home, and she comes with a lifetime of free training! Amanda is about 5 years old and the most easy going dog you can imagine in the home. She likes to cuddle, watch movies, go for walks and have some play time. She loves people of all ages and is always excited to meet them. Her one hang up is she is pretty leash reactive with dogs so we're looking for a home that isn't in a super congested area with a lot of dogs. We will provide a great trainer to work on the issues if you can provide a committed home! Please share Amanda- it's time she find a home of her own! More info: www.petfinder.com/petdetail/37683703

A huge thank-you to Jocelin Carranza for initiating the cleanup at Coliseum Park Dog Run, and for doing most* of the work today! And thanks to three volunteers who helped out at Fred Anderson Park Dog Park, despite the late start!
We also installed new bag dispensers supported by Wag! Walking, so please, use 'em up! As always, if the dispensers are empty, please text to let us know.
*A huge thanks to the mysterious cleaner-upper of leaves before we even started.

South Loop Dog Park Action Cooperative (SLDogPAC) shared Red and Howling's Fireworks Stink for Pets!.
Red and Howling
Keep your pets safe inside and turn some music on during these next few days, seems 4th of July is a week long event in Chicagoland. It might also be a good idea to keep your walks close to home in case your pup gets freaked out by an unexpected barrage of fireworks in the alley. I know mine would quickly drag me back home if this were to happen to us again...

A heads-up that the Chicago Food Truck Festival will be hosting a street festival from 1608 S. Wabash to 1726 S. Wabash this weekend. This is adjacent to Fred Anderson Park and Fred Anderson Park Dog Park. The street will be completely blocked off! But you can get some good food... 😉

Bill, we forwarded your comment to the Chicago Park District for advice and their recommendation is yes – call 911.
Note that Roosevelt Park is not a city-sanctioned off-leash dog area!
I was confronted by a thug in the dog park at Roosevelt Road today. Muscle bound thug, his dogs had nothing to do with him. We were talking, at his invitation, about American football, and how the players of that sport do or do not deserve medical payments for their injuries on the field. I insist they do and I am entitled to my opinion. He insists I have no right to an opinion since he played for Penn State.
He became very threatening to me with his size and when that didn’t work he insulted my wife. I saw this quickly escalating situation was going to end in violence, so we left.
I restrained myself, and I wonder if there is a way of banning someone from the park. This man was clearly looking for a fight. Should I call the police?
