Really great place for dogs. Popular park with at least 20 dogs at 5:00 p.m. Our 70 pound Weimareiner had a blast!! Fenced, dog poop bags available. Mom & Dad can even get their steps in while Fido plays

This is a great dog park in the making. It already is a very good chain-link-fenced place for dogs to run and play off leash. The Las Cruces Dog Park on Hermosa clearly reflects the volunteers who keep improving the amenities. There even is a fenced area attached on one side for smaller and special need dogs. We like watching our dogs race dogs on the other side of the fence, with no risk of fighting. There is fresh water for the dogs, and even a water tub for them to soak. There are exercise tunnels and shade structures. Some trees have been planted, hope they make it! Although there is no grass, and it can be pretty hot, the grounds are mostly clean.(We pick up far more poop at Pioneer Park when we walk dogs there on leash.) My concern with off-leash parks is that occasionally a dog fight breaks out, and it is important to be vigilant. But so far the owners we’ve seen here been responsible and stepped in to maintain control. BTW, outside the park fencing we’ve noticed what look like porta potties for humans. Wow!
