Lowry Dog Park — Attraction in Denver

Pros: there are 3 play areas at this park. One for training, which has a few hoops to jump through, a tunnel that is raised off the ground by a foot or so, it is also not very long. There is a spot that if you bring your own bar you can set it up for them to jump over that as well. Second area is for low energy play dogs and has a covered area to sit in and grass for the pups to lay on, very rarely used by dogs with low energy, more often used for play dates between dogs. The 3rd area is large lots of running room and has a covered spot to sit at.

Cons: the park itself is not easy to get to, there are only dirt/gravel paths that are not maintained very well, if it rains you have to walk through mud to get to the park. It is also a good distance from the parking lot, road, and sidewalks that are paved. There is no water available for the dogs here. Two of the double gate systems one for the training area and one for the high energy area have broken latches for the gates so they are able to just be pushed on to open. There is dog poop every where there most of the pet owner are irresponsible and do not pick up after there pets, then you have the owners themselves, they do not control their dogs here they let them be aggressive, when you comment about it, you could possibly be attacked physically here, I have watched many people get attacked by a lady and her dog because they told her she needed to control her dog, 2 months back my dogs trainer and I where there working on dog greetings and breaking away, as I was leaving my trainings dog gets bit hard by another dog when she commented to the other dogs owner about having to take her dog to the vet now to get stitches to stop the bleeding, she was beating so badly she could not work for a month. Overall the park is not that bad its away from the roads and mostly in good condition, but I would go here at your own risk. The average pet owner that goes here have aggressive dogs, bad public behaviors, and owners with anger issues looking for a reason to get into a fight. 23 trips here before I started going to a much more friendly dog park. At this park I left more than once because of my dog getting hurt and the other dog owner not doing anything about it, vet bills from this park are 587$ to this point. So I will say it again go here at your own...

No real issues but for some reason my normally very active dog doesn't seem to ever want to run around and play here. I think it may be the total lack of grass or vegitation. I usually try to seek out dog parks with grass... Or at least an attempt at keeping grass growing, mostly to keep too much dust from gathering in my pups fur. Not my dog is too good to play in the dirt, it's just too much dust triggers my asthma. I have had, on two occasions, felt one or two of the dogs were allowed to play too aggressively. It has a sign that says "rough play" but if it becomes obvious one of the dogs is not happy with the situation or seems fearful both owners should step in. There also seems to be a lot of folks here that mistake dog park for a place you can let your dog lose and pay no attention to what he/she is doing or how they are acting toward the other dogs and people in the park. Nice and big and a side for dogs that don't want to play but still like...

My dog and I had a great visit here! It was a Friday mid day in Feb so it was relatively quiet .The gravel / sand makes for a nice non muddy experience and others owners and their dogs were friendly and well behaved. We almost didn’t come because of a particularly “aggressive “ negative review. But I glad we did ! Look I get it , someone had a bad experience and they need to vent … but here’s the thing when you write a terrible review on a dog park. The only people that are going to take the time to read it are responsible dog owners and then they’ll stay away from that park. The folks who have little control over their out of control dogs tend not to read reviews so they will keep going to the park. So terrible negative review… Kind of defeats...
