We were excited to take our well behaved, extremely even tempered Husky girl here. Did not live up to expectations. A good majority of the male dogs are unfixed and the owners take pride in that. They thought it was funny that their boy dogs were following around our girl and harassing her. She’s been fixed for 6 years btw. There was a little white dog and a black dog that were incessantly humping her and the owners did nothing to stop it and thought it was cute. She wasn’t able to enjoy 90% of her time there because she had to keep shaking off other owners nasty dogs. They are lucky she doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body. Not to mention we witnessed at least 10 fights because again owners refuse to neuter their dogs and there is a whole bunch of aggression and territorial instincts. People really need to think about their dogs behavior before taking them here or even remotely supervise them. Big disappointment, city of Tucson should regulate this place.

My dog enjoys this park! Very clean and thoughtful dog owners most of the time.. have seen a few screaming matches between owners... I went around 6-9 and there was at least 60-70 dogs there, also bags are stocked which is nice! Tons of places to sit and water is accessible for dogs. There is bathrooms in walking distance of the park, doesn't have grass.

Nice dog park, lots of shade, generally welcoming/attentive dogowners. My only complaint is that it's super dusty. But so far, nothing but good experiences here at different days and times.

This is one of my favorite dog parks in town. It's nice and big with a couple different areas. It's also on the Loop so you can go for a nice walk too!

I love this place as much a my dogs do. They shut down and do a daily clean up between 1-2pm. Make sure you bring a bag for your furry friends though ;)
