Dog Friendly Parks & Trails
Since I’m a dog owner I’m often looking for places to take the pooches where they can get off the leash and enjoy the outdoors. I have one miniature Schnauzer and one Boston Poo (Yes, I think I made that up! Boston Terrier mixed with Poodle).
Both dogs are under 25 pounds and while our yard is large they enjoy the stimulation of getting out.
Two places we’ve gone to recently are Boulder Park and Shook’s Run. However, I don’t think that either of these areas are good for off-leash. We always keep them on the leash in these areas.
For total off-leash enjoyment check out Red Rock Canyon over off of Highway 24 and 31st St. This area was acquired by the city in 2003 and is undergoing development over the next several years. They offer many trails for hiking, climbing, biking and running as well as off-leash areas for dogs.

Hello Brian,
Another Dog Park is just “behind” Rampart (actually behind the town homes across Rampart High School).
We’ve met many a dog owner there - and very nice dogs - that were more than willing to play with our Boston….
