Raed M.Raed Mansour: Great family park in Chicago! It would be the best if dog owners would pick up their dog waste and keep their dogs leashed. Joggers and kids beware...loose dogs and poop everywhere!

Raed M.Raed Mansour: Practically deserted during weekdays and fall season. Follow signs for the easy trail route, otherwise the hike up the dune may be tough for some dogs.
