Westminster Hills Open Space Off-Leash Area
Westminster Hills Open Space offers a large, semi-fenced dog park with miles of trails for hiking and open play areas. It’s a great spot for dogs to roam off-leash and enjoy natural features like a creek (seasonal) and scenic mountain views. The park is accessible with wheelchair-friendly entrances and parking, includes amenities like restrooms, trash cans, and waste bags, and is kid-friendly. Caution is advised due to cacti and rattlesnakes in certain areas, and there is limited shade.
Reviews
Absolutely love this park. So much space for doggos to roam around. Responsible pet parents and doggos all around.
Lots of gravel and rocky paths to roam, beautiful views of the foothills. My pup loves to explore here! This is one of our FAVE spots to walk and she has such a blast off-leash.
The creek has been dry since summer, but the dogs love to run in & out of the creek bed. Not a lot of shady areas, but that’s ok, being a bottle of water with you. (There’s also a drinking fountain at the pkg lot, trash cans and waste bags, and Porta potties)
There are some cacti in the brush along parts of the trails, so just keep your eyes peeled.
Love this dog park! Dogs need to be semi good off leash because it isn’t totally fenced in, like where you would have a gate, is just an opening, but the rest is fenced in to deter dogs.
Great large open space to do a leisurely hike, you get some mountain views.
If your dogs like to run through the tall grass, there are rattlesnakes in the tall grass during the summer. My dogs love to run in tall grass, so I avoid it in the summer, but if your dogs stay on trail, then I highly recommend year round.
An incredible place to take your pets and equally enjoy it as much as they do.
Only Hazards:
Some parts of the open space have quite a few cacti, so be cautious of them year-round. During the summer, watch out for rattlesnakes; there have been many sightings.
Nothing makes me dogs happier than a trip to the Westminster Hills Open Space. Between the miles of trails you can take your dogs on, the more open play areas near the entrances, or the stream that flows through the northern end of the park in late spring and early summer, there’s a little something for every type of dog.
