Oh wow, what a gem! We were driving from Denver to Snowmass and I wanted to stop somewhere to break up the drive. I found this park and it previously had good reviews for dogs, so we decided to check it out. The park is just a short drive off of I-70 from the first Vail exit. There is ample free parking along the side of the park.
The park is not huge, but dogs are permitted to be off leash in the entire park except for a small children's play area. There is a large field for playing frisbee or ball and the sides of this open field are somewhat banked up to denote the boundary. There is a walking trail around a small pond that is also fair game for the dogs.
I had leftovers from my dinner in Denver the night before, so I found this a perfect spot for a picnic lunch. There is a small shelter with picnic tables. There is also a bathroom hit with running water (not outhouse like) and relatively clean for a park bathroom.
If you and your dogs are driving though Vail, this is a must stop! read more
