Chaffee Crossing Dog Park

Very nice park! Lots of seating availability, our puppy loved running through the tubes, lots of space, a working water fountain, and some toys around she was able to play with! Wish there were other animals there, but that’s not the parks fault. Very secure. She also loved going to the top of the hills!

It is a pretty good park. The park has two dog areas one small dog and one large dog area. Joined in the middle by a small fenced in area. From the parking lot you enter into this area that joins the two separately fenced in areas for different size dogs. This area is great for any escape artist. They pretty much get trapped if they get out of their park. Both dog areas have fences completely around them so dogs are free to roam and secure from the public. Dog from the small area cannot get to the large area nor the large dogs get to the small area. In the small dog area it is just a grassy flat area no play items. The small dog area is probably 30 yards long by 10 yards wide in a rectangular shape. The small area has one metal bench in it. The large dog area is probably 75 yards long by 30 yards wide in a rectangular shape. In the middle there are three benches. In the large dog area there are play mounds and culverts for dogs to play on and in. The large dog area has a gravel walking track around the outside but inside the fence. The parks grass doesn’t get cut regularly. Also you have to bring your own water. There is a pretty new fountain in the safety area but it is broken. The water fountain has three spigots, parent, kids, & dogs sizes but it hasn’t work for about a year. Between the two dog parks in Fort Smith it is the smaller one which for our family we find it just the right size. Honestly if there was a working water fountain for dogs and the grass was maintained it would be five stars.

More dirt than grass. Very secure. Not a good option after it rains if you don't want a muddy dog. We didn't care but you might. Has several tunnels, a couple hills and agility weave polls. Overall it needs some work but has potential.

It is nice to be fenced! But, very small. Fort Smith needs a bigger dog park. But, thankful they have a place to take my dog when visiting.

It is a nice place; however, dog owners are not picking up after their dogs. Might as well get rid of if owners will not be responsible. I don't like having to watch out for dog poop.
