5 years agoCentre Barkway is a fantastic addition to the growing area of parks under the Colorado Centre. Originally intended to have schools, shopping centers, appartment complexes and more this area died out after the builders and contractors ditched and the housing market tanked. Centre Barkway has everything a small dog park needs. A double gate that acts like a staging area for your pet. A small dog section. A fake hydrant. Doggie poo bags. The one thing it doesNOT have is a clear way to get into this park. You have to either cross the drainage ditch or skirt the small deertrail footpath next to the chain link fence.

9 months agoThis is a lovely dog park provided for the CCMD residents. It’s pea gravel so there’s no muddy paws and it’s always clean. The pathway to it isn’t the most accessible but it’s passable and it’s a great item to have for our community, my dogs love it!

3 years agoWe took our small dogs there yesterday for the first time. It is all small gravel, no grass, and tons of sharp burrs. Both of my dogs were limping from burrs in their paws within five minutes, and showed no desire to play or explore the tiny space. The place they're trying to put a soccer field in is much better as a dog park!
