What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
A large metal dog with a swing underneath it, why not?! Drove past this in downtown Santa Fe and had to stop. Made of metal siding the dog stands approximately 12 feet (3.7 meters) high and on a warm day can offer respite from the sun (try to catch the shade at the right time). Always enjoy discovering unexpected street art and this big ol’ dog is no exception. By the way, no need to fear, this dog does not bite.
Read more about BarnDogSuch a fun walk for me, a lifetime Dog Walker, who now no longer has a furry companion: a light walk around this park, and see all the doggies having such fun! Then a quick stop for a rather creative matcha, and Then, look sadly at the wonderful, possibly able to be returned to alive-ness = use to create a marvellous community swimming hole (much like how Hilary’s, West Australia, draws diverse community together, healthily, there?) out of this lovely old, amazing all-American initiative?) one of three seriously historic community dams, now dry. In such a great location! And with public tennis and other courts! So love taking walks around American suburbs, always have, they have so much great stuff to teach us!! XS
Read more about North Domingo Baca Dog ParkWhen visiting Santa Fe, I was slightly worried about how I could do something special for my dog, Izzy. Frank S Ortiz dog park was only a short walk away from where we were staying and wow it is so worth it! Izzy loved and adored the new smells and friends she made at the dog park. She was knocked out for about 4 hours afterwards. I loved the stunning views of the mountain ranges and the fresh air. It's such a lovely park, and Izzy gives it 4 out of 4 paws.
