Waiting for our new park to be finalized and built can be frustrating, but its important to remember the success stories that came before.  Heres a particularly nice piece about Chicago success in creating dog parks from Good News for Pets.  It was written a while ago, before the Montrose Beach even, but its a nice read to feel optimistic - just look how far the city has come in a few short years.
