Park No. 468 is a 1.32-acre unimproved passive park in Chicago's West Elsdon community area, acquired by the Chicago Park District in 1984. It features grassy areas suitable for dogs to run and play off-leash. The park is located near Chicago Midway Airport.
Park 468 is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Park 468 is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Sources conflict on fencing: one calls it fully fenced, another unfenced. Primarily a passive recreational park, not officially designated as a dog park by Chicago Park District.
