Really nice park, but unfortunately its home to many homeless people. They are nice and friendly but whenever we visit there are no picnic tables available since so many homeless live there.

Large grassy areas, paved parking, shaded picnic area and plumbed bathrooms. Sand volleyball court and off leash dog park are at the far side of the park away from the lot. Access to Salyer Natural area trail at the lot. Juvenile trees so very little shade.

Nice little gem of a dog park. Not many amenities, but a nice space.

It is a very small Doggie Park with small walking trails going around the Creek. Dog owners are not following the rules of removing the feces, so it is not as nice as it could be. The trails are really nice easily encompassing a small area around the park, although biking might be a bit of a problem due to the fact that it is just a very rustic trail. The trails dont have concrete, instead a trail of rocks abutting a trailer park.

This park is often empty or has few visitors, thus making it a fun time for dogs and humans who prefer a more calm park. The views are nice and theres a short walk or ride to the river, as its easily accessible from the bike trail. Theres a pond, playground, pump track, new volleyball court and a large dog park. Bring water for yourself and your pup. Theres no shade and the parking lot and playground are far from most activities.

Fort Collins has nice parks. This one is insanely underutilized because the location is weird. Expect people smoking pot in the parking lot and a surprising number of off-leash dogs. I appreciate the underutilized aspect as Fort Collins does not have enough dog parks and the other ones are too crowded.

Drove here just to walk around a little before going on a brewery tour. Sizable parking lot on the south side of the park, accessed through an industrial area. The southern side of the park includes a playground for kids as well as some restrooms. There is a softball field and sizable grass field for pretty much any activity. In the northern end of the park there is a bmx-style dirt trial for people to jump their bikes or whatever as well as an enclosed dog park. A paved and dirt loop encircles the park and to the west there are a few more trials for the Magpie Meander Natural area, as well as a deck overlooking the small pond there.

Mediocre dog park. Mostly dirt/mud and quite a bit of poop left from other visitors. Went midday and it was empty. Sweet grey stray cat hanging around though.

Torn... the park itself and all that it has to offer like pump track, basketball court, open field, trails, and a big doggie park makes for a great area for pet parents and families. However, the people that hang out there constantly are questionable.

This dog park is not worth a drive to. Its a small fenced in area of weeds, no trees or shade. To get to it from parking at the park its a bit of a walk. Theres no water either. I think the park is primarily intended for the use of the trailer park that it is next to because I really cant imagine why anyone would bother driving out to it. There were no dogs there when I went in the middle of the day on a Saturday. It doesnt look like it is used much either. I guess it could be a good option if you just need a fenced area to do some one-on-one training with your dog.

After 2 years, Britt is still spot on. We needed a place to get the dogs out of the car on a long trip and were near Jax. We had an elderly dog and my husband doesnt walk well long distances. GPS took us to the parking area on the south side of the park. There is a sign as you enter the parking lot that says dog park is on the north side. There was a park employee and city cop bear the bathrooms. I asked if there was closer parking to the dog park and they said, not unless you want to park I. The trailer park. Didnt want to try to find that entrance so we started walking. Needless to say, all the dogs had peed before we got to the dog park and my husband and the elderly dog didnt make it very far at all. Not sure whos idea this was, but Britt is correct. If you want one on one time with your dog, this is the place.

I took my dogs to this park on our way from Utah to Florida. I have one that is basically an escape artist and walks along fences to find holes. Hes 8 lbs and didnt find any he could fit through. The park is a large, green space with picnic tables and trash cans for waste. Owners seem to pick up after their dogs really well and the few owners I met there were very friendly and very aware of their dogs. My AmStaff pup was accepted and not banned which is a popular issue for Pitbulls. Friendly people, friendly dogs, and a big grassy space helped my dogs get some energy out before a 10 hour drive. Highly recommended for anyone, but especially those traveling.

It’s a bit of a walk to the dog park. There is no parking closer by, there’s a trailer park right behind it and there’s not enough shade and water. This is not one dog park I would recommend
