What a pure joy to find an enclosed, no-leash park where our best friend can call its own.

A few short miles past the Motorola campus on Algonquin Road headed west, you can see dogs frolick in this spacious area.

It also makes a great place to socialize for dog owners, although the dogs clearly rule the roost here. Here, we mostly know the humans as "so-and-so" 's mom or dad.

The camaraderie is solid, and there's even an organized dining out event staged lately.

There are rules to follow in the park, but they are so common-sense. Pick up your dog's poop. Dogs need to pass all shots mandated by the Hoffman Estates park district. You can sign up at the rec center located on the lot. If you're a resident of HE, it's $40 annual fee. Otherwise, you pay a little extra. I understand Palatine has its own dog park at the Harper College grounds.

Absolutely a great investment for dog lovers and owners. My dog thinks so.
