Mayslake
About the Park
Mayslake is a spacious, well-maintained off-leash dog park with separate areas for small and large dogs, set in a scenic forest preserve with trails and lake views. Poop bags and trash cans are provided, and picnic tables and shelter areas allow owners to rest while dogs play. Tick presence has been recently reported, along with some aggressive-dog incidents and enforcement gaps. Water access is limited to outside the park area, and residency or a permit fee is required.
