Visiting the dog park can be a joyful activity for both you and your furry friend—but aggressive encounters can quickly […]
Valmont Dog Park in Boulder, Colorado offers a sprawling, scenic dog-friendly retreat perfect for those seeking ample off-leash space for their pets. With a picturesque backdrop and a half-mile loop for walking, this park draws dog owners from all over the Boulder area, thanks to its well-maintained open areas, accessibility, and community feel. Visitors praise the friendly atmosphere and the sense of safety for both pets and their humans, making it one of Boulder’s top dog parks.
This park boasts amenities such as picnic tables, wheelchair-accessible paths and parking, public restrooms, and a water station for dogs. While the park is near hiking trails and woods—great for those seeking pet-friendly trails—guests are reminded to be mindful of wildlife. Note that finding the right parking area can be tricky: avoid following Google’s confusing directions and instead park near Bohn Park, following the grey gravel path to the dog area.
How would I know? Google directions take you down several muddy dirt roads to a private driveway. Makes no sense at all.
Best dog park we’ve been to. Great space, great dogs, beautiful view. 1/2 mile loop around. Just don’t trust Google when it tells you to go down a weird winding path that ends in someone’s driveway. Just park in front of the bohn park construction area and follow the grey gravel path, it’s about a 1/4 back.
Very nice dog park. Don’t trust Google directions. Park near Bohn Park and walk.
My dogs are obsessed with this place, we drive 25 minutes just to go here. We have had many bad experiences at other dog parks with irresponsible owners, and when we found this place we were so happy, we have only had one incident of an unfriendly dog here out of the 50 plus times we have gone. Lots of space for running around and getting exercise. It can get a little crowded during prime time hours (early morning, and evening) but is still our number one place. Always remember to watch out for wild life as it is near hiking trails and woods.
Such a big, nice space! Available water to fill up bowls for dogs. I wasn’t totally sure where I should park, but ended up finding a path through the nearby neighborhood.
