This K-9 dog statue is located close to the parking area, and there's accessible parking, as well an accesible ramp and sidewalk that leads right up to this statue from the lot. The memorial features an obsidian pedestal with words and names, and on top of it is a K-9 dog. Next to it a thinner rectangular obsidian slab with more details. It's a sizable memorial to honor the K-9 dogs.

Frankie has been attending daycare at Mak Pack for a few months and it has honestly been the biggest help and blessing to our family! She absolutely loves to go and the staff really seem to love her, which is reassuring to us because we love her so much!! The communication from the staff is wonderful and Frankie is so tired at the end of the day so less likely to get into mischief at home! We love Mak Pack! We are also currently in the training classes and those have been wonderful too!

This place is hands down the best place to bring your dog. My dog has separation anxiety and cannot be left alone for more than a few minutes. Whether I need daycare for a couple hours to run errands, daily when at work, or boarding when I need to travel, long days or short, this place has become part of our pack. He gets all the cuddles and attention he could want every hour every day he is there. He loves all his human and doggo friends. They have all kinds of fun activities to engage the dogs, they celebrate birthdays, they get to know your dog. And I receive daily photos like this one, as happy as he can be. When he struggled to settle and feel safe during the couple times I have needed boarding they went above and beyond to find what works for him. And then sent me updates so I am not worried for him when I am so far away. This place is my lifeline and his happy place away from home. His whole body wiggles and whimpers with excitement in the lobby every time we arrive.

I was genuinely surprised by how much I loved this park. I had no idea such a hidden gem existed in Phoenix, especially so close to home. It’s spacious and offers plenty to do, making it easy to spend a few hours there. The pond with ducks is a lovely touch, and the view of midtown in the background adds a unique city-meets-nature vibe.
