If you are searching for a spacious and well-equipped dog park in Galesburg, IL, the Project Dog Park – Connie Nott Canine Area is a top local choice. Located at 1285 W Carl Sandburg Dr, this dog-friendly park offers separate fenced areas for both small and large dogs, making it easy for all breeds and sizes to play safely. The park is set back from the road, features double-gated entrances for extra security, and is fully wheelchair accessible, with dedicated parking for convenience.
This pet-friendly park stands out with its multiple fenced zones—two for large dogs and one that welcomes small, puppy, and senior dogs. Visitors appreciate the clean, open space, and the ample bone-shaped benches that provide seating in all dog areas. While the dog water fountain is located just outside the fenced section, owners find it easy to access. Waste bags are generously stocked, and the park maintains a clean environment for daily exercise and play. Project Dog Park is a beloved recreation spot for Galesburg pups and owners alike!
Very nice park. It has a small dog area and bug dog area which is good and double gate entrance.
Nice park set back from the road, chain link fenced in area for dogs and their owners. Very nice place for dogs so they can run and play with other dogs if they are nice. There are two sections that are fenced for dogs to run around in.
Either myself or husband takes my dog here every evening. Its a great place to get your dog off leash and to sit and relax while your dog gets exercise. I love our dog park. I do wish they would unlock the gate on the 3rd section of the fenced in area. It would be nice to be able to use that area.
Project Dog Park is one of the larger dog parks I have visited with my pup. Like most dog parks, there are different areas for large and small dogs.
Pros: Unlike most dog parks, this one has two different fenced in areas for large dogs. At times one of them maybe closed to allow the grass to re-grow. According to a sign, the small dog area also welcomes puppies and senior dogs. This is helpful for older dogs who may not be as active. There are plenty of bone shaped benches for the hoomans to sit on while supervising their dogs in all three areas.
Cons: The dog water fountain is outside the fenced in area. This forces dog owners to leash up their dog and “leave” in order to let their dog get water. If your dog is not registered in Galesburg, you must purchase a NULL pass from off the premises at the City Clerk’s Office which is located across town.
This was a huge hit with my dog! This was a clean, very large open space with multiple fenced areas for large dogs and another for puppies or smaller and older dogs. It was well stocked with bags for clean up and had nice benches for people to rest on. Would definitely recommend!
