Taking your dog to the park is one of the best parts of your furry friend\u2019s life. They get to meet other dogs, maybe chase a squirrel and let out their inner beast. However, not all parks are well suited for dogs. There may be no fences, meaning they have to live on a leash. You may also encounter other hazards that put your pet in danger. Fortunately, dog parks in Phoenix<\/a> are custom made for you and your pooch.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why dog parks are an absolute necessity. They are safe places for you and your dog to enjoy fresh air, green grass and socialize. If you live in Phoenix, or you\u2019re looking to move here, you\u2019re in luck. There are some truly amazing dog parks in Phoenix. We should know \u2013 we live here with our dogs!<\/p>\n

Without further ado, it\u2019s time to go over the best dog parks in Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Echo Mountain Off Leash Arena<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

\"Phoenix<\/p>\n

Located in Grover\u2019s Basin<\/a>, this off-leash arena features over two acres of lush, green yard to help you exercise your dog. It\u2019s known for always having flowing water for your hot dogs, along with separate areas for large and small dogs. This allows for your dog to play with others without the risk of hurting a smaller breed, or getting hurt.<\/p>\n

This dog park doesn\u2019t have much in the way of seating when it comes to humans, but you can always bring your own folding chairs. If you\u2019re looking to lose weight and become healthy, you can take the opportunity to try to match your dog\u2019s activity. Grover\u2019s Basin Echo Mountain dog park is known for being well maintained.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

\"Phoenix<\/p>\n

The dog parks near the primary airport in Phoenix<\/a> may leave some dog owners wanting more, but they\u2019re intended for travelers. However, they can be accessed by anyone. Instead of boarding or departing from a flight with a nervous dog, you can give them time to breathe fresh air, stretch and relieve themselves.<\/p>\n

The parks themselves are minimal and provide minimal amenities. You can expect water and pooper scoopers, but the three dog parks near Sky Harbor Airport are not designed to draw a crowd. They\u2019re designed to cater to frequent furry flyers. Keep your expectations low, but this dog park earned its place on the list because of its location. People in the area without yards can use the dog parks to give their dog fresh air.<\/p>\n

Washington Park \u2013 PETsMART Dog Park<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

\"Phoenix<\/p>\n

Some say that this is the best dog park in Phoenix<\/a>. Considering that it\u2019s sponsored by PETsMART, it\u2019s no surprise that the dog park has an amazing layout. Rumor has it that there will be more dog parks mimicking this one created throughout Phoenix.<\/p>\n

Washington Park is located on North 23rd<\/sup> Avenue in Phoenix and features plenty of places to sit while your dog roams free (or remains on a leash, it\u2019s your call). Shade is plentiful, something that is vitally important almost year-round in Phoenix.<\/p>\n

This park has earned a reputation as the best dog park in the area because of its commitment to cleanliness. Trash is taken out regularly, the lawn is pristine and water stations are fresh. Trash bins themselves are even designed to prevent dogs from urinating all over them. The size of the dog park allows your pooch to run and let out their inner beast. You can play fetch, or just watch them run around having fun with other dogs.<\/p>\n

Hance Dog Park<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

\"Phoenix<\/p>\n

Right off the I-10 and 7th<\/sup> Ave, Hance Dog Park<\/a> is located \\in the middle of Central Phoenix. That makes it a popular spot for dog owners throughout the area. Not only does this mean that your dog will have plenty of playmates, you may just meet some new friends yourself.<\/p>\n

The park has separate areas for small and large dogs, so you know your dog will be safe. You should bring your own bags for picking up poop as there are no communal bags here. However, there are sometimes communal toys laying around. This park is the perfect place to teach your dog how to play fetch!<\/p>\n

RJ Dog Park<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

\"Phoenix<\/p>\n

As with any dog park worth visiting, RJ Dog Park<\/a> has two areas based on dog size. The park is located just south of the freeway and 48th<\/sup> street, making it accessible for those living in Tempe, as well. The dog park features numerous obstacle courses that can be used to help teach your pooch new tricks.<\/p>\n

Word to the wise, you\u2019ll need to bring your own water and chairs. There\u2019s no water available and the seating is very limited. However, there are plenty of trees for shade. Trash bags are provided for picking up poop, which also means that the park is typically clean. A hygienic park helps protect your dog from a number of diseases and shouldn\u2019t be discounted.<\/p>\n

RJ Dog Park attracts friendly people from all around the area. There\u2019s plenty of parking and places to sit and chat with other dog owners.<\/p>\n

Enjoy The Valley of the Sun with Your Pup<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

You and your pooch will love each of the above dog parks. Remember to bring your leash, some balls for fetch, and plenty of treats. Dog parks are a great opportunity to let your dog run wild, but they\u2019re also a good place for training. Use the time spent at the park wisely and you\u2019ll both leave feeling invigorated.<\/p>\n

As with all dog parks, you never know how well-trained other dogs are or how much their owners will care. Be cautious of aggressive dogs and don\u2019t hesitate to talk to other owners.<\/p>\n

Are you ready to move to Phoenix<\/a>? Our up-to-date listings will help you move to the city and enjoy your new life. In less time than you think, you\u2019ll be ready to start enjoying all of these dog parks \u2013 and more \u2013 with your animal companion.<\/p>\n
