Wiggly Field is a dog park on the north side of Chicago, Illinois. It was established in 1997.[1] The informal name[2] Wiggly Field is a play on words for the nearby historic baseball stadium, Wrigley Field.
Founded by Stacey Hawk, Diane Dorwart and Judy Tullman,[3] the play area is part of Noethling Park of the Chicago Park District and is located at 2645 N. Sheffield Avenue (at Schubert Avenue)[4] in the Wrightwood Neighbors part of the Lincoln Park neighborhood.[2]
Wiggly Field is one of the most popular and well known of Chicago's dog parks. It has been featured on Animal Planet's show K-9 to 5, in Chicago magazine (July 1999), InStyle magazine (September 2000), Bark Magazine (Spring 2002), and Chicagoland Tails (2002).[3] Wiggly Field was named one of the top ten US dog parks by Dog Fancy magazine readers.[5]
Noethling Park itself was established by the Chicago Park District in 1970. It is named for Grace Noethling, founder of the Wrightwood Neighbors Conservation Association.[2]
