Size: large
Quality: high – this park is well maintained in a safe area
Ease of Access: medium – the main parking lots are marked and easy to find, BUT they are somewhat buried in the Chatfield State Park so if you’re unfamiliar with the area you might get turned around. There can also be LONG lines to get into Chatfield State Park so plan accordingly. I recommend arriving early in the day, visiting on a weekday, buying an annual pass to skip the line, or using one of the southern entrances.
Notable Features: 2 parking lots, 2 bathrooms, trash, 4 gated entries, fully fenced, benches, water fountains, plenty of shade, 2 ponds with easy access, 1-2 miles of walking paths, popular, great scenery, no agility course
Cost: $8 for parking, $2 for dog park – you can optionally purchase annual passes for both, $70 and $20 respectively
Sam’s Field Notes: this is one of my favorite dog parks. The water is easy to access with multiple beaches and is a great place to teach your pup to swim. The terrain is varied and the walking loop is decent. Everything is well maintained, there’s shade, and it’s popular. The biggest drawback can simply be accessing it because of the long lines getting into Chatfield State Park on nice days. We’ve had luck entering through the southern entrance and, despite the extra distance you drive, it is often much faster than waiting 20-30 minutes in line.
