Grandview Dog Park

My dogs always have a nice time here. It is huge with a separate play area for smaller dogs which is cool. There are always friendly dogs and owners. It’s really fun to go during or right after a big snow. The only downside is that it’s all dirt so it does stay really muddy at times. Definitely don’t wear nice shoes and be prepared to give your pups a bath.

This park is a really good size and it leaves plenty of room for our dog to run (and she is definitely a runner). I’ve been twice now so far and I plan on going many many more times but I will definitely be selective about the times that I go.
The first time I went it was around 4 o’clock on a week day and it was pretty crowded; obviously people were taking their dogs after getting off work. There was a group of people sticking together and ignoring their dogs who happened to be large breeds and un-​neutered and were picking fights with each other. I had to leave because the fighting was freaking out my little 6 month old lab.
The second time I went was on a sunday afternoon and the crowd was much much better. All friendly people with well behaved dogs so my pup was able to run and play carefree. so my advice is to just be selective with the time that you go.
Also, there is a small dog area and I beg those of you with small dogs to stick to that side. I know a lot of you seem to think that «your dog can handle it» but someone was there last time with a teeny tiny yorkie puppy that got completely run over because my dog was running at top speed and didn’t see it. Its stressful to your little pup so please don’t subject your small dog to that.

There definitely could be more/​better grass (FYI — cropped shrubs do not equal grass), but this is one of the bigger dog parks I’ve been to in the metro, and I love the fact that they have an agility course. My two corgi pups love the hoop and the tunnel! (Sadly, they’re too short for most of the other obstacles!). They’ve outgrown it now, but the «small dog» section was really useful when they were first getting used to visiting the dog park. Overall, this is my favorite dog park in the metro – for all of the aforementioned reasons, and because it’s the closest one to me and my doggies :)

First time coming here with our 4 month old pup and it was GREAT! Such a cute place with a lot of lavender flowers around. We will definitely be coming back here soon!

One of the better dog parks I’ve been too. More people need to pick up after their dogs though. My pup and I go here all the time. The maintenance crew needs to get rid of several dead trees. Mowing the weeds in the large side of the park more often would be nice as well. There have been several dog fights, mostly German Shepherds from what I’ve experienced. There are lots of Pit Bulls that come here.

If your dog is a rambunctious low rider like my corgi, this dog park is NOT ideal. I didn’t have a negative experience with the intact males, but there were some crazies running around and cussing people out about their dogs mounting other dogs.
I wish there were a free, quality dog park in the area that wasn’t dirt, like this one, or sand, like the one in Lowry. It gets kicked up into my dog’s eyes and clearly irritates her for the rest of the day. It would be great to have a quality dog park like the Wynetka Ponds park in Littleton.

I had not been back to this dog park for several years. The last time I was here, it was full of aggressive, unneutered, male dogs, and their defensive owners. After getting marked a third time, I was pretty tired of it.
I was driving by with my dogs the other day and decided to drop in. Some things at the park had not changed. Unless you have handicap parking, you have a bit of a hike from the parking area to the park entrance. Also, this is basically just a giant dirt lot. What had changed was the addition of a small/​low-​energy dog area and significant landscaping creating small picnic table oases. This is definitely an improvement. There were not that many people here on the day I went. The people and the dogs on this particular day were friendly. There were ample waste receptacles available.

I wish I live little more closer… This is great place to go for your doggy. My dogs really enjoyed the visit.

I don’t go to dog parts very often, but this one seems pretty cool of the ones I’ve been to. The larger dog park is almost all dirt, with a little more grass in the small dog area. There are a few spots with trees and picnic tables to sit at. My favorite part is the dog obstacle course (ramp, tunnel, jumps).
The dog owners here are pretty nice, though I did shoo away several large dogs a few times from my pugs while walking through the bigger dog area. The owners weren’t paying attention I guess.
Oh, and really nice doggie bags for poo pick-​up.

This park is a pretty decent size for city dog parks. They have the best trash can coverage I’ve ever seen in a dog park! It is nice that there is a water faucet in the park, too. The agility equipment is nice to have, but it is different than what is actually used in dog agility (seems like it is there mostly for the human kids to play on).
Really the only negatives of the park are some of the people who frequent the park. There are too many irresponsible dog owners who go here, especially on weekends. I try to limit our visits to during the week and mid-​day and it is much better. There seem to be quite a few intact male dogs that visit this park and they always cause a ruckus. Also, there are families who show up with 5 dogs and 3 kids and let the kids go completely wild. I’m sorry, but if you let your kids run around screaming, then you can’t be mad when the herding dogs want to get in on the action.

I am not a big dog park goer since our Shibas are escape artists and we worry about letting them off leash. They would be half way to Kansas before they realized that maybe they should think about where they are going and wait up for mom & dad :)
This is sort of a smaller suburban dirt dog park and not the big open trail kind of dog park I envisioned (or had been to in the past). There are a couple of large pens (one for small dogs and one for large ones) that the dogs can play and run in leash free. I think I was expecting more of what you get at Chatfield or Cherry Creek, where it is more open land with trails. I have no idea why, since this is kind of tucked way off Quincy and really only has a small amount of space to work with.
It is nice enough if you have a friendly dog who wants to run and play with some new pals in a fenced in area. However, if you are looking for dog friendly trails, then you will be disappointed.

Nice and very basic, not a lot of grass. Dogs still seemed to enjoy it. Friendly people there.

This dog park is HUGE! I notice everyone keeps mentioning that it’s mostly dirt, and yes it is. I don’t think the dogs care all that much. For a park this big, it would cost a fortune to keep it fully grassed.
Anyways, it’s got a separate section for little dogs, a little agility course, a water pump, and lots of room to run. I’ve noticed that some people seem to be a little «clique-​y» and not as friendly as folks I’ve run into at other dog parks. However, I’ve also met one of my best friends there.
The proximity to the reservoir does mean mosquitoes, so remember bug spray for yourself! A sad note, this is the only dog park I’ve come across where there have been aggressive dogs that should NOT have been there. Keep an eye out on your own dogs to keep them safe, because not everyone pays attention.

This is a decent dog park. It’s all dirt, so I would not recommend it on a rainy day. My pups have fun here, but then again they could have fun with a cardboard box.
There is a small dog area which is nice, unfortunately this fence does not keep my German Shorhaired Pointer out of that area. He just LOVES little dogs, so I have to watch him around that fence.
There is an area for you to water your dogs too, which is very nice during the summer days.
I’ll go back, because it is close and rather big for a city area.

This park is, as everyone has said, all dirt but it’s large and located among a populated area so there is rarely a day without a dog to socialize with yours. Now, like kids, dogs misbehave, need direction, and tend to pick on other dogs. This is the life of dogs and we hope those dog owners with rambunctious and even poorly socialized dogs can step up and keep the training going WHILE in the park. We hope. We gently encourage. Then we take it into our own hands and train YOUR dog.
There is NOTHING wrong with this if we are kind and are doing it to help our OWN dog from getting picked on or just played with too roughly. I think most people in a dog park want utopia and this just isn’t realistic. The park can be a super fun place to take our fur-​babies but we have to watch them like we would children just so THEY can have a better time. No dog is perfect and, like they say of kids, it takes a village to raise them so maybe we could help each other out a bit?
That’s my rant on Dog parks.
As for this dog park:
It’s good because it’s big, has an agility course, has a small dog area, a
porto-​potty, and is located close to lots of people.
It’s bad because it’s super dirty, tends to attract a LOT of untrained dogs and owners who don’t seem to care (see above), and doesn’t have much in the way of scenery to look at.
It’s mid-​range on rating but worth the trip in variety of pups alone.

This is a very basic dog park. A good place to let your dog off leash to run and play. It’s fairly basic but most of the owners are friendly and the dogs don’t seem to mind that it isn’t the most beautiful park in the area.
It’s almost 90% dirt so stay away after a rainstorm or when snow is melting. If you decide to brave the mud than don’t forget to bring a towel for the ride home !

I live incredibly close to this dog park. While I love how convienient it is, I know there are better ones out there. Mostly dirt park on a slight hill. Has a seperated area for small dogs and another area to work on training. Most of the people and dogs are friendly. Parking is easy as well. There are a few picnic tables (3?) around it and minimal landscaping. It also features a hand water pump that I’ve never been able to operate (during winter).

This dog park has been redone over the last year or so. It now incudes a small dog section and a large dog area. The separation was needed for sure, and makes our visit much better.
The large dog area is basic. There is a pump for water in the summer, a couple of picnic tables and busted tennis balls everywhere. They have put in a couple of agility type obstacles for the dogs to play on, which my Mixer appreciates.
Other than that, I love the idea that the small dogs are away from the larger dogs. There seem to be fewer problems that way. I like the double gates. I like that most owners seem to be responsible in bringing only dogs that SHOULD be there. I’ve seen a few fights, but nothing more than a difference of opinion, rather than an all out attack.
Mixer enjoys this park and it’s close to home, so we’ll keep going.
One more thing, please, dog owners, keep up on your kennel cough boosters every six months. Mix had it once and it was horrible.

I came here once and that was enough for me. It’s possible that I could have come on any other day and this place would have gotten a better review.
The place is big and has plenty of room for dogs to play, but that’s the only positive.
One dog followed my Lilly around nonstop attempting to hump her. Lilly clearly wasn’t happy and I was trying to get the other dog to stop. The dog’s owner just laughed the whole time. When Lilly finally snapped after about 20 minutes of this the other owner was upset at Lilly and me and finally took her dog away.
Then Lilly seems to make friends with a dog and I squat down to say hello. The next thing I know this dog’s leg is lifted up in the air and my leg is getting peed on. The owner obviously noticed because when I got Lilly and headed out of the gates the owner came up and asked if I got peed on. She apologized, but it wasn’t enough. I was angry.
I will never be going back here after these experiences.

Another all-​dirt park, minus some small landscaped spots with trees and rocks and such. I favor parks that have a separate area for smaller dogs, and this one does. There is also an agility course, which I didn’t check out too closely, but it could be fun. The website says they have shade — but I went on a hot day and I don’t recall finding any shady spots.
Everyone was nice — there were lots of kids though, and that makes me nervous. Though most of them did ask of they could pet my dog before just running up to her.
