Local Tips from Washington Park (Wash Park) Dog Owners

  • Washington Park itself does NOT have an off-leash dog park - all dogs must be leashed
  • Kennedy Dog Park is the closest official off-leash area
  • Early morning walks in the park offer cooler temps and fewer crowds
  • Bring water for your dog - altitude dehydration happens faster

Winter Walking

Altitude (5,280ft) means faster ice formation and colder temps than expected. Snow melts quickly due to 300+ days of sunshine. Paw protection recommended for ice melt chemicals. Winter temps often drop below 32°F at night.
