About the dog park

• Fenced, with room for dogs to run off leash
• Surface: gravel

A small, fenced, gravel dog park next to the Carla Madison Recreation Center on East Colfax. Sources mention shade, benches and water bowls, but the fountains do not always work.

Rules

In Denver's city parks, dogs may be off leash only inside the designated dog parks. Most dog parks are open from sunrise to sundown; Railyard, the one with lights, is open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Dogs need a Denver license and a current rabies tag and must be spayed or neutered (or have an intact permit). Bring no more than two dogs, handlers must be 16 or older, children 10 and under are not allowed, and food for people stays outside. Leash your dog going in and out and pick up after it.

Rules and hours can change, and dog parks sometimes close for repairs. Check the signs at the gate.
