2 months agoGood Dog Park. While certainly NOT a deal breaker, it almost never has dog bags if you forget. Large open area with 3 different sectors. 2 main lots for medium to big dogs and a smaller sector closed off for small dogs and pups.

a year agoThis is not the worst dog park I've been to, but I can't think of one that is worse right away. No water but many community bowls. A sign warns of infectious dog disease going around, and no one empties the shared water bowls. No parking but you are directed to nearby public park parking. So your dog is going to want to pee or poop on someone's lawn during the two blocks before you get to the park. You can't keep an eye on your car while you're in the dog park. Too many gates to keep an eye on. When I got there the gates had been left open on the other side. It's a long way to check the gates on the far side. Several places where dogs had pushed under the fence. Fence torn where mowing apperantly caught it.

8 months agoNice dog park with plenty of space for your pups to run around. Seems well maintained and the gates surrounding it are very secure. There's space for small dogs, and two larger areas with a gate in between that can be open/closed for medium and large dogs.

4 months agoFirst time here and parking a block away and walking to it was confusing at first. The grassy areas were great for the dogs but it did lack shady spots but there were a couple small trees.

2 years agoVery large park with plenty of space for the dogs to run, even with lots of other dogs around. There’s always spare tennis balls lying around. Designated small dog area included. My reasons for only 3 stars: It’s not shady hardly at all. There’s only one shaded picnic table, so summertime is really hot for both me and the dogs. Only a few water bowls around as compared to Longmont dog park #2, which has a convenient running faucet. Parking is either at Carr Park or Garden Acres community park. Both are nearby, but I prefer to have the parking lot right next to the park and not have a walk, even a short one.
