5 months agoThis is one of my favorite dog parks!! We stopped twice in one day during our Denver trip to let our pups out to stretch. The people and dogs that were there when we arrived we super polite and stepped out of the dog park and allowed us to let our dogs roam freely. They have two separate areas that are fenced in and off leash. That is super awesome especially if you have tiny dogs you can keep them apart from larger dogs. We've visited this dog park 3 times now including one time in the winter. They have restrooms that are super clean here too. One of my favorite parts about this place is the doggy water fountain!!!!!

11 months agoGreat dog park! Fully fenced in and separate large vs. small dog areas. People and dogs have been friendly / well-mannered all the times we’ve visited. In the winter, it hasn’t ever been very busy when we went. There are poop bag dispensers and a shovel on the property. Also a water dispenser but we didn’t attempt to use it (in December). If you need water, you could always fill a bowl/bottle from the bathrooms (which were still open/operational in December).

3 weeks agoGreat place to take the pups in Summit County. Absolutely beautiful. People need to do a better job of picking up after their dogs, but that's kind of universal.

2 years agoMy friend and I are from Minnesota. They are out here for a month and brought their dog. This place was not only great for the dog turn around but also beautiful views for us as we let him play. All the dogs that were there seemed fairly well behaved and the owners were attentive. People are pretty good at picking up their poop where the front part of the entry is however on the backside they don’t do as well. Another owner provided water and there are poop bags available. Also plenty of parking. And if you have a kiddo there’s a play area for them as well.

a year agoGreat, completely fenced-in dog park to stop on your I70 travels! There is a grassy knoll, some trees and it's big enough for pups to stretch their legs. Public restrooms for humans are also available in the parking lot and everything is well-maintained. It has been a beautiful little stop on our many road trips.
