A 69-acre fenced off-leash area inside Chatfield State Park with two ponds for swimming and miles of trails. You need a park entrance pass plus a dog off-leash pass.

Rules

The dog off-leash areas at Chatfield and Cherry Creek state parks need a state park entrance pass plus a dog off-leash pass ($3 a day or $25 a year), which covers one handler with up to three dogs. Wear the pass where rangers can see it. Off-leash dogs must stay in sight and under voice control, and you must carry a leash and a waste bag for each dog. Everywhere else in the park, including the walk from the car, dogs must be leashed. (Colorado Parks and Wildlife)

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