Dear Off-Leash Dog Area Members,
In light of new guidance issued by the CDC, we have made the decision to close Forest Preserve of Cook County Off-Leash Dog Areas effective Saturday, May 2 until further notice. That CDC guidance can be viewed here:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nc ... imals.html and states:
Until we learn more about how this virus affects animals, treat pets as you would other human family members to protect them from a possible infection.
• Do not let pets interact with people or other animals outside the household.
• Walk dogs on a leash, maintaining at least 6 feet (2 meters) from other people and animals.
• Avoid dog parks or public places where a large number of people and dogs gather.
If you applied for a membership in the last week and you have not received a card yet, please contact us at 708-771-1052 or email us at
fpd.permits@cookcountyil.gov to cancel the transaction.
For all other members, we will be in touch in the coming weeks to advise about extending the season and/or offering credits for future seasons.
We understand that this is disappointing news and are sorry that our OLDAs will not be available for use in the near future. We hope to reopen them as soon as local, state and federal guidance allow. In the meantime, you can continue to walk your dog on a leash in the Forest Preserves while following all the rules and regulations issued by the Forest Preserves and the State of Illinois around Covid-19.
