Dakota Woods or Kaposia dog park
Has anyone been to either of these dog parks or another one in the SE suburbs? Is there a day/time that's less busy than other times?
I need to take our foster dog, which I am totally dreading. I'm worried about it because of other dog park posts on here and because I have no idea how he's going to do.....if he'll take off, if he'll want to play with other dogs who don't want to play with him, etc.

Re: Dakota Woods or Kaposia dog park
We just got back from Dakota Woods and Jackson loved it. He did really well and didn't wander off too far, came back when I called him and generally was a good boy. We mostly walked the hiking trails and he loved sniffing everything. By the time we got back to the open area to play with other dogs, he was beat and just wanted to lay there so we left.
I'm so relieved I didn't have to run after him!

We got to Dakota Woods as it's close to our place AND we really like it. It does require a yearly permit ($42) or a daily permit that you can pay there with a pay box ($5). Make sure you have one of those permits because officers come by often and they will ticket. I've heard the ticket is something like $150. I don't get why some people don't just buy a permit but whatever.
I was going to tell you all about why we like it, but now that you've been there I don't need to.
