First Creek Dog Park
First Creek Dog Park in Henderson, CO offers a functional space for dogs with separate small and large dog areas. The ground is covered in small pebbles, providing a unique surface, though it may be uncomfortable for dogs with sensitive feet. Amenities include water fountains for dogs and people (seasonally closed in winter), numerous poop bag stations, benches with shade, and a large parking lot with wheelchair accessible entrance and parking. The park is fully fenced but some concerns about fence stability were noted. There is no accessible swim area for dogs, and no paved paths, but the park provides a mix of sun and shade making it a convenient spot for dog owners.
Reviews
This park is just ok. I took our dogs here because the reviews were saying it was the best park and it was amazing etc and it’s just ok.
The park is all gravel which does make it easier to pick up dog poop but makes it very difficult to walk in. Also if it’s very hot out it can burn your dogs feet.
A lot of the photos showed water so we thought that the dogs would be able to swim but there was no water today (9/4) and didn’t see a way to even access to water. On the plus side, there is a lot of shade and trees and benches to sit. There are also a lot of dog poop bag stations, as well as a porta potty.
This dog park is amazing!! Gigantic space with lots of covered benches, water, fountain, and doggy bags! The surface is all Pete gravel so just be aware that if your dog has sensitive feet or bad hips that they might get tired very quickly. There is always sun and shade here, and a nice big parking lot with outhouse.
Not a very good dog park the fence is folded in half in some places so your dog can easily jump over if they’re a medium or large size dog there’s no place for your dog to get a drink. The pond that they talk about or the creek is fenced off, so your dog can’t even get at it. I don’t know why they show pictures of a dog standing in water Because there is none and the whole grounds are covered in gravel rock which get in between my dogs toes and he doesn’t like it I’m sure it’s uncomfortable for all large dogs probably even worse for the small dogs. Why would they cover it and gravel like that I don’t know There’s no grass anywhere. It’s just gravel and concrete sidewalk. Whoever gave it a five stars hasn’t really seen any good dog parks yet there’s excellent one in Colorado Springs called Bear Creek dog park that one I give 100 stars it’s totally fenced in with big hills you can climb with your dog trails. There is a running stream and river and a little beach area for your dog as well. There’s regular bathrooms on the property not out houses check it out for yourself. I give this dog part one star it’s just the basic with the unstable fence around it.
This is a very large dog park and has plenty of places for your pooches to explore. We had just adopted a new puppy and wanted to let him expend some energy. This was a great place for that. Was completely empty early in the morning. Will be back! I appreciate that it is fenced entirely and has no creek or water for the pups to get muddy in.
It is a good space for dogs, it is a little small but it is functional.
There is a small area for small dogs and a larger area for other dogs.
The floor is made of small pebbles, there is a water drinker for people and dogs, in winter they close it, so make sure you bring your own water.
There are cans with bags for your dog’s waste.
