Joe Glik Park

Located at 710 E Lake Dr in Edwardsville, IL, this official dog park offers a tranquil setting for you and your furry friends. With real grass and plenty of trees for shade, it's a great spot for dogs to play and explore without the heat of turf in the summer. The park is fully fenced in, featuring a double gate for secure entry, which is particularly beneficial for escape artist dogs. Users appreciate the park's low traffic, allowing for a more relaxed experience for both pets and owners. While the park does come with some amenities like a dog bag/trash station and a water station nearby, there are a few drawbacks to consider. Reviews mention that the park can turn muddy after rain and that one entry gate isn't properly installed, leaving a gap that could pose a security issue. Additionally, some visitors find the park size on the smaller side and note that the walk from the parking area can be quite a trek. Despite these concerns, it remains a good choice for a secluded outing where dogs can sniff and play freely.
