Cherry Creek State Park Dog Off-Leash Area

About the dog park

• Size: about 107 acres
• Water play for dogs
• Run by Colorado Parks and Wildlife

A 107-acre off-leash area in the 12 Mile area of Cherry Creek State Park, with Cherry Creek running through it. It is not fully fenced along the creek, and both a park pass and a dog off-leash pass are required.

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.
