If you want to take your furry friend to one of the best dog parks in Denver, we’ve featured 10 below for your review.
1. Lowry Dog Park
Lowry Dog Park is located on East 4th Place & South Yosemite Way, Denver. This park is open to all dogs and their owners seven days a week, from sunrise to sundown. Before visiting the park, your dog must be spayed/neutered, licensed, and vaccinated against rabies. Keep in mind that you can only bring two dogs at a time to the park, and anyone supervising a dog must be 16 or older.
Make sure your dog is leashed on your way in and out of the park – you can remove their leash once inside. There are bins and bags provided for picking up after your dog – feel free to leave some bags behind for others if you have spares. Lowry Dog Park is spacious, shaded, and has plenty of parking outside.
2. Berkeley Dog Park
Berkeley Dog Park is located on Sheridan Boulevard, adjacent to Berkeley Lake. Part of Berkeley Lake Park, Berkeley Dog Park is a gravel-based dog park that’s open seven days a week, dusk to dawn. It’s conveniently located right off the freeway and has ample parking outside. This dog park is separated into high and low energy level sections, so your dog can play with other dogs that suit their style.
Berkeley Dog Park has a shade canopy, benches, and plenty of space for your dog to run around in. Dogs must be spayed, neutered, and vaccinated against rabies before visiting the park. Dogs with a history of aggression are not allowed in Berkeley Dog Park.
3. Barnum Dog Park
Barnum Dog Park is a fairly new off-leash park for dogs. Located between West 4th Ave. and West 5th Ave. on North Julian Street, the park is fully fenced and covers a little under one acre of space. There are two separate enclosures – one for high-energy dogs and one for low-energy dogs.
Barnum Dog Park is part of the greater Barnum Park, which is home to a recreation center, a lake, a water play area and outdoor pool, a multi-use sports field, picnic areas, and more. The park is open every day from sunrise to sundown. Please pick up your dog’s waste and ensure they have a current rabies vaccine.
4. Belleview Station Dog Park
Belleview Station Dog Park is a spacious park for dogs of all shapes and sizes to enjoy. There is a large parking lot on the western side of the park, and the park itself is open daily from dawn to dusk. The ground cover is mostly dirt and gravel, so you may want to bring a towel to wipe those muddy paws off with.
The park is fully enclosed and has a separate enclosed area for low-energy dogs. There are also benches and picnic tables inside the park. Please ensure that your dog is spayed/neutered and vaccinated before your visit, and supervise your dog while they are playing.
5. Willow Bark Park
Willow Bark Park is located in the Northfield area of Denver. This off-leash, medium-sized dog park is open daily from sunrise to sunset. There is no designated parking lot, but street parking is usually easy to find in the surrounding streets. Please ensure that your dog is on a leash as you’re walking to and from your car.
Willow Bark Park has a separate enclosed area for smaller or less energetic dogs (or those that are shy and may not want to play), and also has benches, picnic tables, and shaded areas where you can sit and watch your dog do their thing. Please clean up after your dog and ensure their vaccinations are current prior to visiting.
6. Railyard Dog Park
Railyard Dog Park is located in Denver on 19th Avenue and Little Raven Street. This off-leash park is open from 5 am to 11 pm, seven days a week. It has lots of floodlighting to increase visibility and safety for those visiting early in the morning or later in the evening.
Railyard Dog Park has shade, benches, and dog bag dispensers – please use these to pick up after your dog and dispose of them in the waste bins provided. Children under 10 are not permitted in the park, and those between 11 and 15 must be supervised by an adult.
7. Wynetka Ponds Bark Park
Wynetka Ponds Bark Park is located in the Littleton region of Denver. The park is fully enclosed with double-gate entry, and has two separately enclosed areas. The park is generally very clean (poop bags and trash cans are provided), and there are lots of tennis balls you can throw for your pup.
Although there are bowls for water at Wynetka Ponds Bark Park, it’s best to bring your own water. There are also a few benches, a shaded area, and plenty of grass. Please ensure your dog is spayed/neutered and vaccinated.
