Horizon Dog Park is a spacious, open area perfect for local pups to run, play, and socialize. Conveniently located in the heart of Scottsdale, this dog park is known for its welcoming community atmosphere and ample room for dogs of all sizes to stretch their legs. There are picnic tables for owners and several trees that provide some natural shade, making it a comfortable spot for both pets and humans to relax. The park is described as simple and straightforward, offering the essentials dog owners need in an unfussy but friendly local setting.
While Horizon Dog Park does not provide dedicated spaces for small or large dogs, it is fully fenced and accessible via a handicap-friendly ramp. Visitors should bring their own water for pets, as the water fountain is often out of service and community bowls can become dirty. In addition to dog-friendly play zones, nearby amenities include shaded areas, picnic sections, paved walking paths, a playground, basketball courts, and tranquil spots for meditation or observing local wildlife. Parking is available, and the park offers a clean, safe environment for families and their pets.
The biggest issue is the city of Mesa and their lack of maintenance and closing schedule during the early summer… If they wanted to Mesa could make it great… But they DON’T been going there 20 years. SOS…
I love the stock park because it’s very close. The people are very friendly and the dogs are fun to hang around. There are not that many crazy amenities as it’s just a really small and simple dog park.
Horizon dog park is a great place to bring your dog for some open play. It is a very large park, allowing for ample running around. There are picnic tables to relax on in a couple of trees to stay out of the shade. There are not any section off places for big or small dogs so beware if you have a small dog there.There is a handicap accessible ramp to walk down to the park all in all a great dog park in the neighborhood.
This dog park was honestly pretty boring for as nice an area as it was in. Mostly dirt, little to no grass, water fountain is broken, 5 gallon (Home Depot) bucket for dog water was filled with slobber, debris and algae. It’s a nice place for your dog to pee & poo and that’s about it. But it would probably be safer for your dog to go potty on the outside of it, as dog owners here do nothing about their dogs’ behaviors; as most dog parks are notorious for.
What a great place! Nitro had a lot of fun playing with all the other dogs. We went again today. Lots of dogs lots of fun
