Reviews
Beautiful view of the mountains and right beside the river!
Quite, peaceful place to bring my crazy, loud, obnoxious dog!
Ok dog park in Ouray — has water for dogs and decent size but could have more grass instead of gravel so it’s cooler / nicer on dog feet in the summer. No separate size play areas / all mixed which my dog likes but some dogs don’t.
Beautiful dog park nestled in a quaint little town. Definitely worth a stop for your pups to stretch their legs. Completely enclosed. Even if it isn’t on the way, I love to stop there for my dogs, especially in winter and you can’t beat the beautiful views. It even has a water source and a tub!
A clean location to stop and let our pup play ball. Both visits in April no other dogs around. The mountain and river views are great from the park. Water and dog dish available. A bone shaped pool/tub was on property to use and dog poo bags.
The ground is of small rocks. It has a Small parking area for a few cars or trucks. One picnic table inside fenced area. No public restroom.
