One thing we realized from our travels this summer was that there are so many parks and amazing places in Chicago that we still haven't explored. Inspired by Neptune & Levi's park in St. Louis, we decided to explore our own nearby turn-of-the-century park: Humboldt Park.
The park is over 200 acres, with a beautiful boat house, lagoon, butterfly and bird gardens, a small beach, tennis courts, several baseball diamonds and whole host of other things including wide open spaces with walking paths. We've been to Humboldt Park a number of times to play tennis or grab something to eat at the Frittura trucks, but we got a whole different perspective when we took the full walking path with the pooches.
We sat and the pooches posed for pictures in the beautiful Formal Gardens and in front of the lagoons. While Ms. M and Levi are naturals in front of the camera, Mr. B still needs to work on not blinking at the wrong time.
And if you are interested in joining this week's dog-walking club, please be sure to RSVP by Thursday.

Thanks for showcasing Humboldt Park and for having your next dog walk there!
this is gorgeous. you guys are so awesome, doing your scouting ahead of time for your dog walks. i am really hoping to do something like this in Austin when we get down there. i adore that last photo of Miss M and Levi, and the first one. The colors are incredible.
That is a beautiful place to take a walk!
Beautiful park!! And Miss M and Levi look so sweet in that last picture!
I love walking HP, but we rarely get there. We did some of OTAT's calendar photos there last year and they came out beautiful.
Wish we could attend the walk this week but we'll be out of town... we hope to come next time, it's on our to-do list!
Wow that picture with them hanging out the car is amazing! I love your photography!
What a fun park. It's going to be a great place for the group dog walk.
wow that looks like a great park.
There are a couple nearby parks I want to walk through with Darwin, but haven't yet. Now I feel like we should!
Awww- I love that last photo :)

That looks like my kind of spot! It's good to see Miss M teaching Levi how to pose for pictures.
It looks beautiful! I think that one is going on our list of places we have to visit!
