Nashotah Park

The off-leash dog areas are well groomed and mostly clean. I just wish owners were better about picking up after their dogs. (Not as bad as Minooka tho.). The trails are beautiful and we hike several times a week and enjoy the groomed trails as much as the rougher ones. Got my yearly permit and use it as often as possible. Lots of parking and the restrooms are clean and accessible.

Nice park, nice people. Owners keep an eye on their dogs and are respectful of others while letting their dogs have fun! Plenty of waste bags and garbage cans provided. Nice open area for fetch or frisbee and walking area among the trees.as well. Great weekday excercise for human and dog!

I had to go there for a party. I arrived with $5, $10, and $20 bills on me to pay for Parking should it be required. There was no one at the front desk to make change. So I took the envelope with me so I could mail a check later when I got home to pay the $6 entrance fee. While they did not have anyone on staff to take the money or make change, they did have someone spending a large amount of time driving around so they can ticket people who were not able to pay. What should have been $6 cost me $12 because I was ticketed because they could not bother to stock the location with a park worker at the empty booth. In addition, they allow you to buy "annual" parking permits online, but I could not get reception at the location, and I only wanted a day pass. The park should staff the pay booth, rather than have "enforcement" out after the fact to catch people that can't comply because the park is not properly staffed. I don't think I have ever given such a bad review before, but I am made about this. If the payment for the park entrance is so important for the needs of the park STAFF THE OFFICE so people can pay. It is a jerk move on their part to make it hard for people to comply and then try to "bust them" for violating a thing that they wanted to comply. I was there to entertain for a party, so time was critical. I could not drive around for 30 minutes looking for change. I have put in large bills in the envelope in the past and included my address and have NEVER received a refund of the over amount. The park was maybe $6 parking nice, but definitely not $12 parking nice. Save your guests money and take your events elsewhere. (Photos show the empty office and the cash register drawer open... Because they could not be bothered to use it to truly assist the park guests on their visits).

Clean, well maintained, and gorgeous! What a gem of a park! So many nice trails to choose from and they are all worth taking. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. This is a great place to take your dog (unfortunately, there was someone there whose large dog was not on leash and ran up behind me and startled me...though the dog seemed friendly, but still!) Also seems like would be a great place to take kids fishing. I can't wait to go back when leaves are turning.
