5 months agoWhat a fantastic dog park! I recently hosted one of my free pet photo shoots and it was a blast. The location was perfect to help support local businesses to the pet owners of Denver 🐶🐱

10 months agoGreat dog park! It has beautiful views with the lake near it, the park for kids, and little event center. The park is all gravel, with a few water bowls and some benches around the park. There’s a high energy and low energy side for the dogs, which is so great since my dog has a crazy amount of energy! My girl always has the best time every time that we go. There’s always so many other pups for her to play with. This is my go to dog park. I will say I once took my puppy there and I had a guy pick her up and walk around with her, which I had to go confront him and get my dog from him. So most people know how to act but you get a few people that just act so out of pocket so watch out if you have small puppies. Here’s some pics of her playing with friends! You can see the joy in her face for sure.

a month agoI will never bring my dog back here. It is a very big dog park and has water jugs and seems very clean. What makes me never want to come back is that there were 2 male dogs not neutered trying just to get on the female dogs the whole time. My dog is a female and spayed but I’m still not letting that happen to my dog. The owners of all the dogs were too busy on their phones to even care. A female dog kept yelping and trying to sit down but two male dogs just trying to get on top of her the whole time.

a year agoGreat dog park! Lots of room, never too overwhelming for our old boy. Lovely views of the lake, surrounding greenery, and cool old amusement park :) the roller coaster was running today. Check out the Summer Scream festival to ride the rides there, creepy and fun.

4 months agoAll pea gravel and some larger rocks too. Zero scape for no real human maintenance required but terrible for dog paws. Avoid Berkeley and go to Open space offleash in Westminster, Co.
