    Wowza...Not for Out of Towners just visiting

    Planned to travel to Chicago area from 5+ hours away in Louisville, specifically to bring the doggo for some fun and unique experiences. The website for this dog beach states you must have an annual pass-no day passes available. Ok, that's doable...annual passes to ALL dog parks in Louisville is just $40/year. For just this beach, though? $230, if you don't live there. That's freaking insane! No thanks.

    No day passes and it takes forever to get a season pass

    The beach is fun but small. The dogs are generally very well behaved. This is a high income area and the dogs and owners resemble it.

    Love this beach

    I have been going to this Dog Beach for a while . Love the Beach and Area. Doggies and Humans are very respectful and friendly. The dogs can run around and swim. Seating in the shade is available as well.
