Trailside Dog Park
Trailside Dog Park in Waukee, IA is a wheelchair accessible dog park that welcomes dogs. It has a gated area (though the gate often remains unlocked) and offers day and guest passes for access.

Wish there were more trees but overall very cool
The city of Waukee continues to allow Sabbeth into the dog park who has continuously attacked dogs. Sabbaths owner does nothing to stop the attack. We will not be going back. Very disappointing.
The city of Waukee has allowed an aggressive Doberman to continue using the facilities after several incidents. The city’s response is always “we will talk to them and if it happens again they MIGHT have access revoked,” then it happens again. Photo shows what happened to my dog while trying to sniff hello to the Doberman.
I’ve been thankful for this park for holiday visits and appreciate the guest pass option. I’m saddened to see the neglect of this park over the past few years from both the municipality and humans. Spring often means mud – this park is full of it most all of the time. Bad humans mean poo. This park is full of it. I filled four bags on one visit as I could not ignore it and hated my dog running through it. Would love to see more love and pride for this community asset.
The park itself is great but you don’t need to bother buying a pass because the gate is unlocked. Even if it isn’t unlocked just buy a day pass and get the code from that since it’s the same code anyway. I’ve spent over NULL now to do things the right way just to find out I shouldn’t have.
