Stapleton Off-Leash Dog Park

I highly recommend this dog park. It is large which allows you to play with you doggie without interference (Unless you or your doggie like to play with others doggies too!) I personally like that it is sand, it wears them out a little faster but is also wonderful on dogs with arthritis problems, not as hard on their joints. There is always a large assortment of doggies, so you can bring the small and the large. I bring a black lab and a long haired chihuahua and they always have friends to play with. There are fire hydrants around too for those doggies which love them. I did not see any water the past few times I have been there but I may of missed them. The major thing I really like is the size, so much room and many entrance points into the park allow you to control how and into what type of group they enter into. Overall, I recommend it very much, I will drive the 25 minutes from my house to go to this park from now on. Oh, and there are plenty of benches a few trees. The park can be hard to spot at first but they are right behind the tennis courts that are across the street from the Academy/school. I got a little lost at first. This park will not disappoint! Enjoy~

Pros: Large, Open

Cons: No water (?)

The downfall for this park is definately how Windy Stapleton is. We just moved here april 28th, 2010. we live on the second floor and spend a lot of time on the balconies, ITS ALWAYS WINDY! Abnormally windy at that. Not all of the time, but a few times going to the dog park is unbareable the sand feels like pellets hitting your skin. We have 2 doberman pups, and will be bringing them to this park around 2 months old. If anyone recommends another park in Denver metro, please sent a note.

Pros: Close to home, HUGE, alert owners

Cons: when its windy out forget about wearing shorts!
