El Paso County and Colorado Springs residents and pet sitters take dogs to the local dog parks. Local pet sitters will take your pet to the parks. Colorado Springs kennels do not. Here are several local parks:
Fenced Dog Parks:
21st St. and Rio Grande, Bear Creek Dog Park, Colorado Springs
Canoe Creek and Charmwood, Cheyenne Meadows Park, Colorado Springs
Devon's Dog Park, Greenland Open Space, Monument
Rampart Park, 8270 Lexington Dr. and Union, Colorado Springs
Off-Leash Areas:
Garden of the Gods, 3130 N. 30th St., Colorado Springs
Palmer Park, 3650 Maizeland Rd., Colorado Springs
High Street, Red Rock Canyon Open Space, Colorado Springs
Rules
1. Guardians must be present within fenced enclosures. The Guardian is responsible and liable for behavior of the dog at all times.
2. Guardian is responsible for cleaning up & disposing of dog waste
3. On the dog's colloar there must be currently vaccinated & show city and county license
4. Guardians must have in their possession a leash for each dog
5. Aggressive animals must leave the park
6. Guardian is responsible for obeying all park rules
Etiquette in Fenced Dog Parks (Greet, then meet!)
1. Because they have not recevied all their vaccinations, we recommend that puppies under four months old NOT use the dog park
2. Supervising your children is important when there are strange dogs present. Consider changing your plans
3. Leave your female dog at home while she is in season.
4. Aggression in dogs can increase when they are leashed, especially when encountered by off-leash dogs. Evaluate your dogs prior to going to the park to ensure they are well socialized to be off leash.
5. Limit four dogs to the park per guardian. More than four is beyond the handler's control to ensure a safe experience for everyone. Ask yourself how many dogs are using the dog park before you go inside the fence. Change your schedule if you have multiple dogs so that other visitors are not overwhelmed.
6. The double gate is provided for your dog's safety. Please make sure you close the first gate entirely before opening the second gate so the dog is in a safe enclosure during transition from leash to off-leash.
7. Look around and coordinate with other visitors to make sure that a thrown toy does not start a fight. Some dogs differ in their tolerance of other dogs playing with their toys or food.
8. Minimize loud noises - either dogs barking or humans shouting - so that the dog park does not disrupt others.
9. Be considerate of other visitors' needs and concerns. People may be using the fenced are to train their dogs as well as play with them. Dogs may also be older, fragile or sick.
