My dogs absolute favorite place in the world! This dog park is huge, with tons of open space for your dogs to run around, beautiful views, water for them to play in, and a 2.1 mile loop in case you wanted to get some walking in yourself while youre there. Well worth the annual pass!

My dog absolutely loves it. I also enjoy the loop around the park, which is about a 45-60 min walk. There’s a nice stream for the doggies to play. The only complain is that the annual pass lane is closed. So, even though we got an annual pass, we ended up waiting at the entrance for about 15-20 min for multiple visits for the non-pass holders to pay the admission.

The park is wonderful, the gate staff helpful and friendly and my pup has a ball when we go.Maybe its just not worth the cost, but the entry area could really use a daily hose down. It reeks. Every visiting canine needs to go pee the moment they get there, that makes sense, but after months and months of that without much rain, your nose is assaulted for the first 50 feet or so from the parking lot.Aside from the smell, which may or may not be fixable, the parks only draw back is the visitors that cant be bothered to pick up after their furry friend. Most people seem prepared to clean up after their animals, and the park makes it very convenient with many baggy stations and trash cans.. But those that dont are ruining things for the rest of us.If you visit, please take care of the park so we can all continue to enjoy it with our 4 legged family members.

Its amazingly huge. Great place to let dogs be dogs. It is off leash so if your dog is submissive or aggressive to new dogs probably a good idea to walk with them close. Also remember to watch dogs ears and tails.... if they are wagging they are playing.

The best dog park in the COUNTRY. The only issue I have is with other dog owners who dont follow signage or pick up their pets waste!The park maintenance is challenged by inconsiderate ignorant people who dont understand whatSTAY OUT - NEWLY SEEDEDmeans.Its how the dirt around the river is maintained and NOT washed away. So every year the park has to try and get these areas to grow, while people stomp through the newly seeded areas.Then they complain about the cost if park fees. Insanity!!!Still worth it though

The most amazing dog park I’ve ever been to. I bring my dog here every single time we get to and she loves it. She’s always tired afterwards from running around with other dogs and splashing around in the water here. I highly recommend for all dog owners to come here and let your fur baby run free.

A huge off-leash area with a bunch of different paths you can take to change things up. There is a small obstacle course to work your dog with (ramp, three heights of jumps, a tunnel and various heights of platforms). You cant beat the water though... many access points to a long water front to cool down and have some water play - make sure you have good recall on your dog though because the water area isnt fenced. For the most part, the people that go to this park have friendly dogs which is more than I can say for the smaller parks.

Amazing dog park! Huge with tons of space along the creek for the dogs to play/run/swim. Pricey at $14/day but they do have season passes available. Also gets busy/full. We arrived at 9:30am and had to wait 30 minutes to get in (parking lot was full). But because they dont let anyone else in once the parking lot is full, it doesnt get TOO busy. Overall, we had an amazing time and it was worth the money and wait.

Very nice park. Tons of room for the dogs to play. Didnt run into a mean dog in the 100+ that we saw. Lots of flat creek areas for the dogs to splash around. Definitely worth the annual pass.

Great place to take the dogs! Went Sunday with that crazy storm. We were on the other end of the parking lot and it started hailing. We ran back to the car trying to protect our dogs from the hail. Overall, it is a wonderful place!

An amazing huge place for your doggos to go run around and meet other doggos. Note, on busy days if you go into the park at the east entrance and walk a little extra you can avoid the large line to get in.

Our dogs LOVE cherry creek. Soon as u hit the driveway theyre begging to be let out. Evwryones super friends.

Excellent off leash park. Our bernedoodle loves this, especially the creek that runs through at the back of the park. The only thing that could make this place better is a little more parking as it gets very busy on the weekends.

My dog LOVES coming here. Theres lots of trash cans available along the path which is nice for me. The creek is a must-see for each and every visit. What a great way to cool off on a hit day!

I love having this place and over the years its gotten smaller and smaller with more use.Right now its pretty beat down. They need to make it a non smoking area so we dont have to pick up cigarette butts as well as dog poop from inconsiderate users.

My boys love it here! Especially when theres snow. Heads up there is a fee to enter the park.

There is a lot wrong with this park. The entrance fee is ridiculous; $11 for park/parking access (per vehicle) and $3 for the dog park. Thats $14 per day to access the dirt and open spaces.They claim that the dog park is entirely fenced. It is not. There is no gate to the creek areas, which is not fenced, so, if your dog is off-leash, they could just run to the Creek area and disappear into the wilderness.TL;DR; Expensive. No value over public (free) parks. Not safe for explorer dogs.

My big and little dog both loved it here. Every one was very friendly but its large enough that it wasnt overly populated even on a really nice afternoon/evening. Theres a nice stream for the dogs to play in as well. Mostly larger dogs but my little dog couldnt care less and there were a few friends his size. The park does get muddy after rain or snow and the paths aren’t paved so if either avoid it altogether or wear shoes you don’t mind getting messy.

Most dogs are well behaved, which I think is a benefit of a paid dog area. The creek running through provides relief from the summer heat, and flows seem relatively consistent through late summer so no stagnant, nasty pools. Really the best off leash dog area in the Denver metro area imo.

I love taking my dogs here. The paths have something for everyone. A short walk. A medium long. Or a long walk. The river portions are also great. My dogs and kids love walking it when its warm weather so it makes for a great afternoon activity especially when we have been stuck inside for so long. The annual pass is well worth it.

Always a lot of dogs, open space. Plenty of room for your pups to get a lot of exercise. The water is perfect for them to play in and cool down on hot summer days. It is a state park, so just keep in mind you will have to pay to get in. Its $10 per car then $3 per dog. If you decide you will be going more than 3 times a year I suggest to get the pass.

Love this place. Bring my dog here frequently. She is high energy and loves all the space to run around off-leash.

A great place to let the fur kids run loose! My son loves it too. There are a variety of areas and terrains to explore.You do have to pay to enter, so keep that in mind as you set out for a fun filled time at a dog park that is fit for humans too! We like to bring a snack and make a long afternoon out of it. I would suggest bringing towels as well, if your pet (or child) gravitates toward water. This will lesson the mess on the ride home. Highly recommended this place for pet loving people!

Has trash bins in more locations than one. Really nice creek you can also put your feet in w/ the dogs.

Had a blast at the off leash dog park. Line took about 20-25 minutes due to their limited parking lot. Not sure why they couldn’t expand?Wish it was closer to Denver and free but it was great!

I cant wait to spend more time here! I love the huge open space, the creek, the many trails.I only wish there were a restroom on the opposite side, but that is not a huge deal.I want to see more of the other side of the creek, we enjoy the tall grasses.I had read in another post that there wasnt a fence over there, so I am going to be careful since my dogs listen mostly to their noses.Excellent park worth the extra drive!

Vast off leash area, obstacle course, and swim beach just for the pups! People there are friendly and understand dog behavior. Worth it to get a yearly pass.

13 dollars to get in for a day with your dog. You have to go to the back side to go to the lake area. More for a dog park and walking and riding bikes from what I seen since I am there now on Feb 1st. Very windy. It has a simple looks like a baby play ground.

12 mile stable whats the funnest experience Ive ever had in my life the staff was friendly.. trail with fun the guides where wonderful. The guide Tim was the wonderful took my granddaughter on his horse and she had a blast I give him a 10 star

It used to be a great place to bring the dogs to run. Anymore many of the people come to the park, turn the dogs loose to run, dont obey the rules of the dog park like not leasing there dogs in the parking lot ,start talking on cell phones and totally ignore their pets. The dogs are running wild, knocking people down, and getting into dog fights. The owners are not picking up the waste left by their dogs because they are to busy ignoring them. We have voiced concerns to the rangers and park office by phone because the rangers are never there to address concerns face to face. People are having their vehicles broken into in the parking lot. After coming to this park for over twenty years it is a shame to see it being ruined by inconsiderate people. As a last word of warning, do not attempt to come to the park on the weekend. the woman in the pitcher her dog attack my dog in the parking lot, the dog was not lease and mine was, no apology just a f off.

We always love this dog park. You need to pay $10 for the day or just get an annual pass you can add onto any states park pass for $35. It does get busy, but they will regulate with a one car out, one car in policy. There are open fields with paths that lead throughout the huge park. We really enjoy walking with our dogs in the river, I try to remember water shoes as most of the river is covered in rocks. Great place to spend time outdoors with our pups and family

I have a 17-yr-old Jack Russell and a 2.5-yr-old black mouth cur mix - and this park has been fantastic for both of them! Its enormous, with enough room for energetic dogs to run around and play, older and/or calmer dogs to get all the pleasure of an off-leash stroll, and a stream for water-loving dogs to romp and get themselves (and often their owners) a bit wet. :) Weve been going here for a year now, and have had all good experiences with dogs and people alike. Absolutely our favorite place to go off-leash!!

Awesome place for our Cassie. It was her first time on an Off leash park. She had a blast!!

I absolutely love bringing my dogs here! I have just as much fun as they do! Its like doggy heaven! The park is well kept and has lots of room for dogs to run around. I love getting to see my dogs interact with all different breeds and ages of other dogs! I highly recommend bringing your fur child but maybe not on the weekends because parking can get a bit hectic since its a small parking lot.

Have you ever noticed the difference in attitude of a dog on a leash, confined to the length of the leash versus their attitudes off leash at Cherry Creek? Theyre friendlier and just over all happier. They interact with all the other dogs and people as if theyre friends with all of them .... and theyre way more relaxed .... luv this place, speaking for my dogs.

The updates they made last year are amazing! I think this is a great dog park! Its so much fun not just for dogs. I love going at sunset! Its so relaxing

$13 dollars well spent at this amazing dog park. The line to get in the parking lot took about 30 minutes. We almost turned back but Im glad we stuck to it. The long wait can get annoying especially if you have an excited dog in the car on a hot day.110 acres to explore all types of terrains.

It is not only for my furr babies who love to play and run without a leash and sw but it is a nice place to walk and connect more with them. Tons of fun. Worth purchasing the pass.

Blown away by how massive this dog park is! Acres of open area for your dog to room and the cherry creek runs thru the bottom giving dogs a great place to swim and meet some new friends. $20 for an annual dog park pass and $73 for the state parks pass including 41 state parks. A little pricey but easily worth it. I can’t say enough how massive this park is, so be careful not to lose your dog and make sure they have tags just in case

A beautiful escape from the city noise! Our dogs love this place& so do we! A must for everyone who has little furry friends! Highly recommended! Please bring your dogs here!

Our Aussie loves this park. Safe, friendly, and people seem to do a great job picking up after their pups. Theres stimulation all the way around the loop with a few obstacles on the dry end. Dont go if you dont want to get wet.

This is the best dog park I’ve ever been to. It’s huge, beautiful, and had a creek running through it! It’s worth the $2 entrance fee and you’ll probably meet some new dog friends

It was an awesome place to go on a beautiful day. We had Kate as our instructor and we all rode Durado, rocky road and pipsqueak. Highly recommend

Tl;dr: This park is NOT entirely fenced in! The creek opens up into the much, much larger park, and there is a fence on the bank but it is mangled and torn apart and my dogs easily left the dog area. If you have explorer dogs (like say two huskies) beware because they can easily leave and enter the massive Cherry Creek park.Other than that, this place is amazing, its like dog Disneyland. Definitely the largest off leash area Ive ever seen (although again, not entirely fenced so not sure that counts). There is a creek that my dogs love playing in and drinking from and unlike stagnant ponds or lakes they dont get sick and they dont even smell afterward!This place is super cool but it is a bummer that it is not actually enclosed, which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

100 Acres for your dog to run in plus a creek bed to let them play around and cool off in

Cherry Creek state park is a great park and this just makes it even better. If you own a dog in the area, this might be one of the best amenities around, and thats saying a lot. This off leash dog park is awesome. Over 100 acres, plenty of space even when busy, so you dont feel crowded. People are friendly and not stressed, so that leads to dogs not being all worked up and anxious. Not to mention great views of the front range. Highly recommend giving this park a try.At the time of this post, park fees are $9 a day and $2 for the dog park. Annual passes are around $75 for the park and $20 for the dog park.

This is my puppy’s favorite place in Colorado! When the weather is warm she loves to swim & play with the other pups. Also acres of open land for her to run around and make new friends! I highly suggest getting the annual pass if you plan on going regularly, if not it’s like 12$ a day for the park & the dog park!

Beautiful experience at this gorgeous dog parkOur 2 year old rottweiler LOVED it

Beautiful big open space, all dogs go to heaven/cherry creek. Great spot to go for a run in nature with your pup off leash. There’s a dirt path loop around the perimeter that’s about 2-3 Miles, and a spot where the pups can swim in the river. All dogs here are friendly and well socialized, and they have stands with poop bags in case you need them

I love this park. Definitely tell everyone to bring their dogs here. I do wish they had a bigger parking lot.

Never thought my dog would love the water SO MUCH! He ran around for hours and made many dog friends! Very nice walking paths for the humans as well and big enough that it never felt crowded! Hands down best dog park for my crazy pup!

The best dog park on this side of Denver. Theres plenty of space for the dogs to run, water areas, and a nice walking trail around the perimeter. I fully recommend this dog park a try!

Great place for my pup... lots of trails, and a great stream with several entrances for your doggie to romp around.

One of the best dog parks Ive been too! Dogs have acres of space to run and multiple spots to swim. Never feels crowded!

One of, if not the best off leash dog park in Denver!.. Permit and passes are required.

Great place to take your furry kids! Lots of room to run and play. Weve always had a great experience. Tons of wonderful people and pets! The creek is our favorite part! A must go too. Only down side can get busy on the weekends.

Honestly, for what it has and the size, there isnt anything much better. Its a bit of wild and civil in a 3 mile trail like setting. The options of traversing the park makes any pooch happy. The creek doesnt hurt either.

It is huge and fenced in. It has a stream for dogs to play in and my dogs love it

It used to be a great place to bring the dogs to run. Anymore many of the people come to the park, turn the dogs loose to run, start talking on cell phones and totally ignore their pets.

It is not worth the frustration.

6/5 stars. This is easily the best dog park Ive ever been to, and youll think so too once you get here.

Love it great place to take your doggy and just have a great time with the family and friends. You can get your cardio on

HUGE open area for the dogs to run free. Having the river on hot days is wonderful too... But be prepared for wet, possibly muddy dogs.

This off leash dog park located within Cherry Creek State Park is a life saver for owners of energetic dogs. As soon as our pup was up to date on vaccines and cleared by the vet to visit we have started visiting here in a regular basis.Important facts:This is part of the state park system, you will need to purchase a day pass (if you driving and want to park at the main entrance and you are not walking in from other parts of the park).Having an Annual Pass makes entry faster and easier when an attendant is on duty. There is a self serve (paper not electronic) kiosk. Cash or check recommended.You can pay $2.00 for a day visit to the dog park or $20.00 for an annual pass that is good for 1 year from the date of purchase. In theory you could be asked to show your dog park pass, do keep it with you. We went for the year option and have laminated ours. Its good for your whole family and up to 3 dogs. The fee is minimal and helps support dog park maintenance including regular waste pick and disposal, grounds care, etc.,There are public bathrooms at the entry point. There is also a water fountain for humans and one for dogs right inside the gates.There are plenty of doggy waste stations all over the trails and trash cans so no excuses not to pick up the poop and happily most people do, even when their dogs go off trail.This place is steadily busy at most times of day but long car lines form on the weekends as people must wait for parking spaces to open up, usually in the morning when it is still cool. Arrive before 8 on Sundays to avoid really long wait times. We havent tried Saturdays yet!Week day mornings are less packed but still steady.The park offers glimpses of the mountains and they made some great access points to the river/creek including one that is wheel chair accessible--awesome! Before I had my dog I was a bit bemused that so much effort had been put into setting up all the stairs and rocks and such to the water, now Im grateful. There is shade and water when it is hot and the dogs love splashing about.Some people keep a very watchful eye on their dogs, others dont. Be prepared for a wide variety of approaches and personalities. Our pup has been socialized at doggy day care and does well with the wide range of sizes and temperaments despite being small. Just be aware of your dog and what it needs.Bigger kids seem okay here, many play in the water with the dogs, but, the dogs can get very excited in their running and chasing. I have not been knocked over but Ive been run into, bumped, and jumped up on so anyone visiting should not be afraid of dogs.If you carry treats, balls, or other doggy things, be prepared for canine interest, aka licking, sniffing, and bumping from dogs other than your own.Water shoes are a great idea if you dont want to get out of the water at each entry point and just want to follow your dog up or downstream. I like to walk counter clockwise so my dog gets wet early and is drier by the time we finish the larger loop. The walk around the outside loop is about 2.6 Miles including to and from the parking lot plus in and out of the water areas a few times. There are plenty of options for shorter loops or doubling, too.The paths are gravel and clear/obvious. There are at least 4 other entry points from the main park into the dog area. The occasional runner and biket does go through as well (with or without dogs). Great place for walking the dog and pushing a stroller with decent wheels if families want to get out of the house with the their dog.Overall a wonderful place to spend 45 minutes or a couple if hours enjoying nature and the dog antics.

You find a lot of non-dog people here. Beware of little kids and their entitled parents believing this is a kid park and not a dog park. Have come across some aggressive dogs and dogs that attacked my small dog But overall great park. We still frequent often we just try to keep our dogs close to us.

This might be the best dog park in our whole NATION!! Its HUGE...maybe (3 mile radius?)...and there is a stream, with a water hole....for those dogs who love to swim. ...Love this dog park! And by the way...Rain, snow or sunshine...COLORADANS walk their dogs in it!!!

Amazing! Well worth the cost of parking.

Overall a great experience. Some owners need to control and pay attention to their dogs better, but that cant be blamed on the park staff.

A bit of a wait to get in Saturday morning, but it was definitely fun, especially over by the creek area.

Open friendly people friendly dogs. Creek area

Great place for a relaxing stroll with your fur babies!

I LOVE this park! My friend had me meet her there the first time I went. I was a little put off by the $10 admission PLUS a $3 fee to use the dog park. But I was hooked after visiting! There are two loops within the off leash dog area. One is about a mile and the other is about 2 miles. It was super nice to be able to walk and not have my dogs leashed. They romped and played, met new dogs and new people, and I could launch a ball as hard as I could without it going over a fence! It was great! I ended up buying a yearly pass which was $108. I take the dogs 3-4 times a week and its been wonderfu . Totally worth the money.

Great wide open space for your dogs to run around. Plus they have a number of inlets to the creek so they can swim. Plenty of trails to walk/run. Its decently maintained. Fair warning, it will get icy and slick in the winter. My only wish is that theyd add more parking somehow since the line and wait times during prime hours can be a tad aggravating.

We go there daily, its the only way to keep our GSP sane

Best place in Denver for your dogs. 2+ mile loop, shallow creek, a deep section for dogs that like swimming.... they just need to do something about parking on the south entrance - line is horrible quite often and you end up waiting for 10-30 min to park.

Great place. Huge. Water. Off leash.It does cost to get in though. Worth it.

My family does enjoy coming here very peaceful and great for your dogs

Great for social distance early in the morning. Many people wearing masks and having a great time with their dogs!

Wow! So cool! My dog loved running through the many creeks and she usually hates water. We’re definitely getting the annual pass.

Always a great time! Owners and dogs always friendly. We did hear from an owner that a lady tried to steal his small dog so I guess a recommendation is to keep an eye on your dog at all times.

Was a lot of fun... Cayce loved all the people and the lake

I live at this park. I visit here 2 times a weekend. Absolutely massive and beautiful. 3 miles to do a single circle depending route. River cuts through in one area and dogs absolutely love to play in it. Will go here countless times every year.

So much space, and my dog loves playing in the creek with the other dogs.

15 visits and the annual pass pays for itself. My boys love it!

This is an awesome park for dogs. Large with a creek to play in. My dogs love going to this park. Highly recommended! If you drive there it is best to use the parking lot on the north end accessed by driving into the park...

My roommates dog was very happy to be here today.

By far my favorite dog park! Large open spaces for a large amount of dogs and a small river for everyone to swim. Going here in the summer is a blast. If you havent been, do yourself (and your pup) a favor and check it out.

I love this park!! Hanging out with my feet in the river on a hot summer day is probably one of my favorite parts of my summers. The only downside is how muddy the entire park gets after a good rain or snow. Aside from that this is one of my favorite places to be!

Great off leash dog park, especially if your pup likes water!!

Great off leash park for you and your dogs to roam around. There are multiple trails around one big loop that is around 2 miles long, and it is well fenced. The Cherry Creek also runs through the park and several paths lead to the water. Please pick up after your dogs does his business. They have poo bags on site if you need them. It is part of Cherry Creek State Park. Day passes are $10 and annual passes are $83 (as of 10/25/19). You wont regret visiting!

Great places for dogs to run around off leash, with a creek for cooling off. Owners are very friendly and conscientious for the most part! Worth the cover charge. Parking can be limited on weekends from my experience.

Clean large and has a creek dogs love to play in. Bring a towel.

Gorgeous. Open. Spacious. And other dogs behaved themselves.

This is a fun place to take pups and humans! It has a creek that runs from East to West along the southern side of the park. Usually this is where you and your pup may get a bit more interaction from others. You can actually walk most of the length of creek if you dont mind getting your feet wet. Smaller dogs, if they arent strong swimmers, may have a few currents youll need to watch out for. Either way its a good dog date area!

I thought the price to get in to this place was ridiculous. 10 bucks for 45 minutes of letting my dog run around? Come on...there are tons of free dog parks in Colorado. What a joke. The only good thing was it was spacious. But again, its Colorado. There are parks literally everywhere.

Ive heard people hate on this dog park but we LOVE it! My pup Lola loves frolicking through the stream and exploring new parts. It doesnt get too deep so we usually wear shorts and sandals and wade through it with her. Tons of fun!

Amazing dog park with a nice walking path all the way around and the creek/Beach area is amazing!

Gets a little smelly in the summer and the bugs were terrible today but its the best dog park in the Denver metro.

Love this dog park. You can walk almost three miles with your dog. People and dogs are happy and friendly. The creek is fun to walk in. Beautiful nature!

Nice park with water features. Could use another restroom or 2.

Great open park to let your dog run off leash and be free. There’s a stream that the pups like to frolic in. It wouldn’t hurt to keep a towel and some type of seat protector in your car. That way doggie gets to play and your cat stays mostly clean.
