Located in the heart of Gilbert, Arizona, the Dog Park at Crossroads offers pet owners expansive, wide-open spaces for their dogs to play, socialize, and exercise in a safe and welcoming environment. This spot is known for its clean grounds, wheelchair accessibility, and convenient onsite amenities, making it a favorite for locals seeking pet-friendly trails and a family-friendly destination. With picnic tables, public restrooms, and plenty of room for both active and timid pups, it’s ideal for all kinds of outdoor adventures with your furry friend.
What sets the Dog Park at Crossroads apart is its mellow vibe—often being less crowded than other parks, which is perfect if you or your pet prefer a more relaxed visit. While the park features a large gated off-leash area and areas that generally separate active and timid dogs, user experience with dog behavior may vary. The park can get muddy after heavy watering or rain, and there is currently no hose available to rinse off dogs after a messy play session. Be ready for sun exposure as there’s limited information about shaded or covered areas. For a pet-friendly Gilbert outing, this park offers a blend of convenience, safety, and fun.
Too many large aggressive dogs in the timid dog area. Not once have I seen a park ranger there. Seems like all the questionable dog owners that used to go to Cosmo dog park are coming here since Cosmo is under renovation.
It was our 1st time. All dogs in the active side we very good except one boxer that wouldn’t leave my 2 dogs alone. No parent seemed to care. We went to the other side and had fun.
A little more parental control would be good.
MUD MUD MUD. Huge area, nice park. When they sprinkler grass, it turns into a giant mess. It’s April 2025 and the summer MUD pits are already here. They need maintenence to fix the sprinkler coverage, leaky sprinklers etc. Nice park but seeing how it was all summer last year and how it’s already starting this year, may need to find another park. THERE IS NO HOSE to wash the mud off your dog either, just a fountain
Usually always well behavevd dogs/owners. Large space to run around. Winter grass would be very nice. Hit and miss with other dogs showing up, sometimes we’re the only one there. But for more of a mellow park with less risk of other aggressive dogs, it’s does the job.
Very clean and wide open spaces. Great for family walks, playing games, and fishing. Didn’t catch anything yesterday, but saw some dead tilapia on the banks. Had a great time with some local roosters who attend the park.
