Denver Dog Parks: Doggone Good Times

I've been lucky enough to have a lot of free time on my hands lately and one of my new favorite activities has been taking my dogs, Pax and Charlie, for jolly romps in Denver's off-leash dog parks. Our favorite by far is Barnum Park, a big beautiful grassy area which, up until now, has been one of Denver's best-kept secrets.

Denver's off-leash dog park areas are located in the following parks:

Berkeley Park - Sheridan and West 46th

Barnum Park - Hooker and West 5th

Jason Street - 678 South Jason Street (operated by Denver's Municipal Animal Shelter)

Kennedy Park - Hampden and South Dayton

Fuller Park - Franklin and East 29th

Green Valley Ranch East Park - Jebel and East 45th

Stapleton - East 24th Avenue & Syracuse Street


All visitors must adhere to posted rules and regulations. Bag dispensers are provided at each park, and visitors are expected to clean-up after their pooches.
