A membership to Skokie’s only off-leash dog park provides a unique outdoor green space for dogs (and their owners) to run free. Located at Channelside Park, Pooch Park features more than 2.7 acres of open area. The park also features separate fenced-in areas for puppies and small dogs, and for agility training. Pooch Park is a joint venture of the Skokie Park District and the City of Evanston.
