Durango Off Leash Dog Park - Dog park in Durango - US-160 & Hwy 550, USA

If my dogs had thumbs they would both give this place two thumbs up! They ran around by the river like it was the happiest day of their lives. Very clean, amazing views, and was a lot of fun to explore with the dogs off leash.

PSA - DON'T GIVE OTHER DOGS TREATS WITHOUT PERMISSION. This is my dog's favorite place! He thinks it's the best dog park in the world, and while he hasn't traveled that extensively, I agree with him. We've never seen a rattlesnake here (despite the scuttlebutt), but always find friendly dogs to play with, sticks to fetch, and water to drink and swim in. The city provides bags and a trash can so you can clean up after your dog... People are generally pretty good about picking up after their dogs - please help keep that trend going. If you're a visitor to Durango, and you don't clean up after your dog (or if you're a bad driver, poor tipper, or rude), you will have bad luck for at least 7 years and probably get radiation poisoning from the Smelter tailings that occupied the land on which the dog park sits for so long. Seriously, read the history of Smelter Mountain and Durango before you plan to visit; Radioactivity takes a loooong time to decay, and Smelter was "cleaned up" by 1980's EPA... What's YOUR level of trust in a 1980's underfunded agency?

I give it 5 because it's humans caring about more than themselves. No Judge, but IMO, we are put here to care for here. Hence the cognizant thoughts... Some more unnecessary than orders. I found peace here, Scoots found peace here. I was also able to get my van started thanks to Duurangians(not sure the title, nor really care about tittles). Anywho great place, despite being close to a busy street. If you keep them leashed till across the river, more comfort. Now as for Scooter:s opinion. He Loves the river, dogs, Humans, toys... Etc, he Loves Life.

I’m used to dog parks with fences so this was an incredible treat for us and the dog. A lovely stroll along a river where they can be off leash and play with others.

Sooooo many happy happy dogs enjoying running around, and being alive!!! River accessible, trail loop, lots of open space. Carry poop bags ( supplied at entrance ). Keep your dog controlled when necessary. Enjoy!!!!

Really awkward encounter at the park. Brought my purebred Geiger and to no surprise it got excited. People kept telling me that their dogs were alphas and that I should neutron my Geiger, but they didn't get it. Bunch of betas. Still a Rad. park. Also, a great place for a very long and aggressive seal launch into the whitewater park.

Really nice park, every single owner was very kind and polite, respectful. Loved I could let my dog lose and let him enjoy the park. River is beautiful and the paths are clean and very easy to do. Take your baggy to clean after your dog.

This was not an appropriate place to let your dogs loose. This is an unknown fenced area that goes up the mountainside and you could be chasing your dogs 4/2 mile plus we did not discover it we turn back immediately at the gate. Not recommended for dogs that like to run. Thought it would be perfect but, unnecessary area.
