I'm so pleased we found this dog park. We've been to many over the past few months with our new…read moredog. Most are pretty good but they run the gamut from too small like the one closest to our home to too large like at Reid Park. Some have unfriendly people and some have people that use the park in lieu of a single's bar. (Seriously!) Others hardly ever have dogs other than very large breeds. Northwest is near enough to our home to be able to be a daily trip for our girl. The people are friendly and the dogs are well behaved. Our dog loves to romp with the usual crowd who show up in the late afternoon just before sunset. By the way, the dog park here is a FABULOUS place to take in gorgeous sunsets over the mountains. There is a large dog and small dog area and people at this park seem to actually pay attention to those designations unlike the Pit Bull owners at Reid Park. Likewise, the breeds that are present are well behaved and not aggressive. There is the occasional steroid pumped guy with a Pit but it's not an everyday occurrence and they usually don't stay but for a minute or two. Northwest has, by far, the friendliest, most fun, and least pretentious crowd of owners and dogs I've seen in Tucson. A great way to spend the close of the day! Addendum: Ever since we've been going to dog parks in Tucson, I've wondered why they all have picnic tables and in addition really slick rock tables. I never thought people actually ate meals in a dog park until I saw people at this park with food recently. Obviously, it was an issue as all the dogs wanted to check out the food. But the real problem came a few days later when we took our dog to the park. She smelled the food that had been spilled on the table and jumped right up (something she never does at home). Before we could reach her she'd lost her footing on the slick rock surface and skidded off onto the ground. She tore her Cranial Cruciate Ligament and we're left with a hurting dog and a $2000+ vet bill for surgery. Then I found out that my pharmacist's dog had an identical injury from this same slick rock picnic table at the dog park. So, I've lowered my rating of the park (and all others) until the parks department takes appropriate action and removes these high slick tables from the parks (particularly the small do areas) and stops people from bringing human food into the dog park for a picnic. If you are going, station yourself near the table so you can grab your dog if they decide to jump up to investigate the food smells!

Grass trying really hard to grow. The people that come here are what make the difference, and the same people tend to come at the same times. Some chat and ignore their dogs while they poop, dig, and even fight. Others are great, attentive to their pet's needs, and actively playing with them. Many work on improving the park themselves, picking up rocks, filling in holes, and providing bags, paper towels, balls, scoopers. It's all about your timing.

Its hard to see the park from Mona Lisa Rd. It is located near the Magee intersection and on the West side of Mona Lisa Rd. The parking lot is huge for a park of this size. There are two restrooms and a water fountain. There is one very large soccer field and at least one ball diamond maybe two. Plenty of room to fly kites, run your dogs, etc. The playground is really small but very new, only 2-3 yrs old. There are no swings, but plenty of slides, a mini climbing wall and other climbing things to get up to the slides for the kids. And there is an exercise area. Two sets of overhead "monkey" bars for adults, three pull-up bars, two sit-up benches and three balance beams.

The archery range is South but we did not go there so don't know how that works as far as costs etc

Luckily it was early morning enough that I don't think it would have really done any harm but definitely keep an eye out if you go. The park is cute too with a large children's play area. There's something for everyone and even in the hot summer months there was a good crowd here.

A quick walk from the parking lot and you and your best friend can make or meet a buddy. The paths are well maintained, there is plenty of shade, and there are many places to sit. From a canine perspective there are always water bowls handy (just in case your owner forgot yours), balls that can be used for a game of catch, and plenty of open space to run. Doggy bags are also available to clean up after your pet and the park is usually buzzing with dogs and their owners. This park is a great place to bring your canine friend and many times there are sports going on so that you can catch a peek of a game. Overall great park, well maintained, and a great place to spend some quality time with your buddy.

He has been going for about 6 months. We are members of the dog park (reflecting a majority of our experience). We also have used the daycare service. I truly appreciate the fact that Buford has a place that he can go play where everyone has been temperament tested. Plus, they take steps to separate dogs who just don't get along. Buford always has a lot of fun. He gets to run and wrestle and play (with boundaries that are enforced, which helps in his ever evolving quest to be the goodest boy). The place is constantly being cleaned, which is also amazing. All of my interactions with the staff have been positive. And Buford likes everyone. I've had a really good experience taking our pup there and would highly recommend it.
