Glendale Open Space Trail

This is a 1.6 mile easy dirt, circular trail with one incline point. I enjoyed the views, but you can hear I-25 noise due to its proximity to the trail. I wish it were longer.

This is a really beautiful off leash dog park nestled in Lone Tree off I-25. Not sure how long the trail is but probably just under 1 mile. This trail has a lot of switchbacks but there are plenty of shortcuts too if you’re not toting a wagon like I was. Definitely wear sunscreen and bring a hat there is really no shade/coverage but the open space and views are worth it! There were also other trails nearby outside of the dog area…lots to explore here!

It's been 2yrs since I've brought my pups and the open space has been updated. There is now North and South parking lots and entrances with added porta potties. They have 2 electric charging stations. The top portion is paved so you can walk your dogs and bring a stroller. The trail is a 1.6 mile loop. Beautiful views and the terrain is fun for the dogs to run around and play. Our dogs had a great time. Disappointed I couldn't find any trash cans on the loop only dumpsters in the parking lot. People were leaving poop bags around the Open Space. Please bring your own water. No water available, only bowls.

Beautiful dog park filled with friendly dogs and mostly responsible pet owners. There is an accessible sidewalk as well as rock paths throughout. Two small huts and a stand of gamble oaks provide seating and shade. It’s a huge park with plenty of spaces for pups to play fetch, explore, and socialize with new friends. The native plantings are beginning to mature and fill in bare areas. The only cons are no water and the interstate noise.

I was here for the trail, but want to come back with the dog later! The parking lot was great and can hold several cars if needed, it was not super busy when I was there on a Sunday late morning in September. The trail was a little washed out, but otherwise a great short easy trail. I enjoy trail running, and I don't think it would be fun for that in it's current state, but it was okay for a walk. Just in case you are curious, my watch says one lap starting on the north side and returning on the south side is about 150 feet in elevation gain. The view at the top was pretty cool, at least until they build houses in the distance. Wide open prairies, it was stunning!
