Dogs Must Be On Leash in City of Evanston Parks
Now that spring weather has improved, more residents are enjoying City of Evanston parks. Unfortunately, there has been an increase in the number of complaints of dogs being off leash.
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department would like to remind residents that dogs must be on leash in Evanston parks per City Code 9-4-7 (D): It shall be unlawful for any dog or cat, unless on leash, to go or be upon any public playground or public park within the City or upon a path or sidewalk through or within any public park or playground within the City.
If you wish to allow your dog to run off leash, you may purchase an annual membership to Pooch Park or the Evanston Dog Beach.
