Freedom Run Dog Park is a member-only, fully fenced dog park located in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. This pet-friendly facility features separate sections for small and large dogs, allowing pups of all sizes a safe space to play and socialize. The park offers a variety of amenities including agility equipment, shaded areas, seating, picnic tables, bag stations, trash cans, and a water station to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable visit for both pets and their owners.
Conveniently situated off Russell Dr, this dog park is wheelchair accessible and features a dedicated parking lot. While the park is well maintained—particularly the large dog area—visitors are required to purchase a membership and use a fob or key card for entry. If you’re looking for secure off-leash dog play in the northwest suburbs, Freedom Run Dog Park in Hoffman Estates is a top spot to consider.
The grass on the small puppies’ side is cut, and a lot of shavings are left in the grass. The poor puppies can’t play and run around safely. It’s terrible. The large dog’s side grass is always clean and cut low. No dandelions everywhere. Please clean up the small dog’s size after cutting the darn grass!! Remove the shavings after cutting the grass so our small dogs can run and play! Maybe we need to find another dog park!!
Sucks that you need a fob/membership to enter, I was visiting my daughter from Minnesota over 4th of July weekend. Brought my dogs along and this park was less than a mile from her home. Very small park, I have a membership to our park system and we have at least 12 different dog parks ranging from 8acres up to 70 acre unleashed dog parks. I pay online for yearly membership or you can pay daily thru app or cash/check in a dropbox at gate of park. No need to visit in person at any office,how inconvenient especially for visitors. Why pay for an area less than 2 acres. We ended up going to DUPAGE COUNTY off leash dog park . 60 acres my babies are use to.
This dog park is only allowed to members, so if you haven’t signed up don’t go, the gate is locked and you need a fob or key card to enter. Drove there to find this out ended up going to a forest preserve to walk the dogs
You have to pay a membership fee.It’s not as nice as it may seem.There are sooo many parks nicer than this one, and free.
Our pup loves this park! Lots of open open(fenced in )field to run around in and play with other pups. She’s 50lb so we stick to the large dog area, but they do have a separate fenced section for the little ones to play safely in! Both sections have agility equipment, bag stations, trash cans, picnic benches, water stations and shadded areas. My only complaint with the large dog section is that there is only one water station at the front and only two trash cans, one at front and one all the way in the back. Would love to see a middle trash station and water station for safer romping. Otherwise you have to lug around a full water bowl (which are provided at the park)
