Not the ordinary park I'm accustomed to being from Tucson. This park is spacious and filled with lots of hiking trails and trees! Dogs loved it! read more

Full video review: https://youtu.be/DfGkSyDiTJk We visited during the 41st Annual Route 66 Chili Festival. Flagstaff, Arizona. High desert air, the smell of roasted chilies drifting like a promise you can taste before you even see the tents. The 41st Annual Route 66 Chili Festival isn't just about heat, it's about history, pride, and the kind of small-town grit you can't fake. Here, locals and drifters alike lean over steaming pots, stirring stories into every bite, they stir in their childhoods, their grandmothers' recipes, their own stubborn lessons learned the hard way. The chili is fiery, smoky, sweet, sometimes all at once. Like Route 66 itself, a blend of past and present, steadfast tradition and restless ambition. This isn't some polite food festival. It's a gauntlet, a throwdown, a living, breathing celebration of community and obsession, all under that wide Arizona sky, where every bite feels like it's telling you a story you didn't know you needed to hear. read more

Nice park for my toddler who is almost 3 to play. They had the plenty of swings and a variety of playground equipment to choose from. Parking was slim but you can park on the road. They do have bathrooms on site, with 2 accessible and 1 with an adult changing station. read more

There is enough parking space, lots of activities and options for kids and adults to enjoy

We visited this park when it snowed over the weekend. It's a nice place with lots of pines, great place for sliding, building a snowman or just playing in the snow. We went with our toddler and he enjoyed every bit. He rolled on the snow and it was so much fun. The parking is limited and can get pretty full soon. The park is maintained well and there are restrooms available too. A good spot to hike during spring summer and large area for picnic. read more

I was in town back in September to run a race that took place on the beautiful trails that were connected to this large regional park. I parked my car over at the large parking lot next to the bark park. The park was well maintained and very clean. Likewise with the restroom over at the park center. Besides the bark park, there were 4 baseball fields and 2 tennis courts. There were 4 more tennis courts and a basketball court over at the Joe C. Montoya Community & Senior Center at the intersection of Birch Ave and Thorpe Rd. This looked to be a great place to bring your kids and furry friends for some fresh air and exercise! read more

This is such a nice park to take your kid to. There's a lot of different playground equipment, including a smaller toddler area. I loved the unique playground equipment here such as the fire truck play bars and the bouncy dinosaur. I tried to get the kiddo on that bouncy dinosaur toy but she would have none of that! While my toddler is still in an awkward phase of just staring at kids for an uncomfortably long time on the playground (Hopefully she grows out of this?) she did have fun walking around and using some of the slides and bars. read more

Thorpe Park - Bouncy dinosaur! - Dog Parks Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

Spacious park with lots to do. It's located at the base of Mars Hill Road that leads up to Lowell Observatory. The playground is quite large and the only drawback is given a park that large, it's swarming with kids 90% of the time. It's fenced and that's nice to keep kids safe from the road. There are 4 tennis courts, 1 tennis practice court, 1 volleyball sand court, 1 basketball court, 2 disc golf trails, ramadas that would make a great Bday party location overlooking the park... and it's attached to the Senior Center. Great place to picnic with lots of open space for people to spread out, which is good, because there are. people. everywhere. We've been about 5x this week at all different times and there were never any fewer than like 30-40 people in the playground area and the tennis courts are hard to grab... but nice when you can snag one. read more

This is our 137th or 138th dog park, I lost track. Yes we travel. Thank you for being here on out drive through in 91 degree temperature. We needed something reasonable in shade before heading out of state. This place was hopping when we were here. There is easily 20 dogs in the large section on a Friday at 3:30-4pm. We would have gone to the "all dog side" but Bob (a Schipperke) needed to go potty, and I have allergies - ugh - I'm just glad we made it, and created this "business" page on Yelp. I uploaded a bunch of photos to the new listing. What it has: Small section Large section Water fountain in the leash up area Good parking Dedicated parking for dog park Trash cans Shade Benches Port-o-potty Very high fences on the perimeter Concrete poured for many picnic tables My photos speak for everything else that I didn't cover. I noticed half the people were on their phones when we first got here, and now they are not on their phones anymore so that's good. It's packed in there, not good to check out. They often don't leash their dogs from car to park (a pug behind my car by the tire, another running whereever). Sorry this is lame. Allergies always get me at some point on my every summer cross country trip and it's right now. I just finished this write up and wanted to go back but now there are big dogs in the small dog section so I guess I will go in big side since it's calmer now. read more

Perfect park for a family that has a dog! I found this park using the Bring Fido app and my husband took our dog to the dog park, while I took our toddler son to the playground. He was more interested in the wood chips than the playground but it did keep him busy. There's a baseball field as well as a big grassy area. Some locals walk around the park with their dogs unleashed, which I'm ok with as long as the dog is kid friendly. Not sure if there are restrooms available, we didn't stay too long to look for one. read more

Thorpe Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Flagstaff, Arizona

I was thinking to myself, what place should I review as the first in 2019? How about one of the places I've frequented the most in Flagstaff? This review is primarily for the dog park portion of Thorpe Park, yet the entire park has much to offer! I have been coming here since I first moved to Flagstaff with my dogs, Dakota and Montana! Although they are gone now, all of my dogs whom I've adopted in Flagstaff, love this dog park! Our dogs love the car trips but we're always baffled how they know a mile out that we are going here! My fiancé especially loves the way Gibbs barks in his ear, LOL! We have been here many times of day, and definitely weekdays from 4 to 6 PM are the busiest, which can be fun, but definitely a challenge with some overprotective dog parents! Dogs like to play, run and wrestle! Some dog parents baby their dogs, which brings more attention to that dog, and unfortunately results in dogs ganging up on that dog. Those dog parents should take their dogs to the other fenced in area of the dog park. Rarely will you find a mean or overly aggressive dog here, but it has happened on occasion, so just pay attention to where your dog is and what they are doing. Yesterday, we went on a snowy, New Year's Eve day. There were only a few dogs and it was fantastic to see our Lucy and Gibbs making great play friends! The dog park itself is about a quarter mile down on the right side of Thorpe Road by the soccer field and has two sections. The smaller section does not have a sign up, but it is assumed that it is for shy or aggressive dogs. The larger section has some agility training equipment, but nothing fancy and very limited. The park is pretty basic, nothing like the Sedona and Prescott dog parks, but still a welcomed stop for us and our dogs! There are some tables and benches as well as lots of trees for those warmer summer months! It's fun to see the dogs having a blast, even those that just want see people, like our Sedona, who passed away in June of last year. You would think that she was neglected for "pets and ear rubs" at home, the way she would be making her rounds with all the humans! Compared to other dog parks, the city has been very slow making improvements to this park. One bonus is that they finally have dedicated dog park parking spots, as when games are going on at the soccer field, parking spots could not be found! Other bonuses of Thorpe Park are the soccer fields, nearby frisbee golf and tennis/handball courts as well as a really nice playground, which is in the main park on the NW corner of Santa Fe and Thorpe Rd. The park also has quite a few festivals! One of our faves is in June, the 2 day Annual Route 66 Regional Chili Cookoff! Those chili samples are tasty and sure do fill you up! Pride In The Pines and the Cornucopia Fall Festival are a couple of big ones that take place at the soccer field! Overall, Thorpe Park is a great place for dogs, kids and adults! My only wish is that the city would direct some more funding to the dog park portion. read more

Absolutely favorite place to sled when I visit flagstaff! This worked out perfectly! We were in town to see some snow. We got about 2 inches and that was plenty to go hit the slopes! The Flagstaff schools were in session so we actually had the whole area to ourselves! Nice play area for the kids, newly remodeled and having real bathrooms here make it a must stop destination if you have little ones in tow! In the past I have also rented a house nearby. Great little nook of town near the observatory! read more

First time visiting Thorpe Park for my boys soccer tournament and after seeing they had a dog park I was excited. We originally tried to bring them in the soccer fields but were kindly told "dogs not allowed". Great, Plan B! Take dogs to dog park which is only 100+ yards from ball fields. Ball Fields. It's actually baseball, softball and football fields that they paint out soccer fields in the outfields. Pretty nice overall facility. Little play park for small children, a covered picnic area, typical bleachers around the dugouts, restroom facilities and a snack bar. Walk down Thorpe St and their is a huge park, tennis courts and more. Being a tournament weekend the parking lot was crowded but plenty of parking options around park and off Thorpe St. Dog Park. We go around the dog parks in Tempe, Gilbert and Chandler typically and it's always different. Usually dog poop is an issue or people just don't watch their hell-raising fur balls. This place was different. The dogs were all very friendly and the owners were watchful and mindful. Very chill and relaxed types. Dogs had a great time and got all their energy out in lieu of hiking which we didn't have time for. read more

Great dog park! We stopped by for about an hour around 6pm so that our 10 month old puppy could get some exercise during our trip to the Grand Canyon. Lots of really well behaved and fun dogs for her to play with. We even made friends with a few locals that were nice to chat with. read more

Thorpe Park has something for everyone. Thorpe Park's Disk golf Course is my favorite in Arizona, thus far. I really enjoy playing through the woods! The Bark Park is divided into an large area for all dogs, and a smaller fenced off section for small breeds or puppies to play, if feeling intimidated. With only one exception over the years, I have only encountered well behaved dogs and owners. It is a great place to socialize your dog(s)! There is a pretty neat playground for kids, and team sports are constantly being played. Parking is sometimes difficult, but oh, so worth it! Thorpe Park has 4 lighted adult softball fields, 3 youth baseball fields, 2 playgrounds, a sand volleyball court, a basketball court, 2 soccer fields, 4 lighted tennis courts + 2 tennis courts, a picnic ramada, 2 racquetball courts, 2 horseshoe courts, a disc golf course, a dog park and both portable and permanent restrooms all on 219 acres. Nice! read more

Amazing dog park people are friendly and so are the dogs not everyone picks up after their dogs but most do

Love this park! They have a separate park that is more quiet and small. We've met tons of nice people here, and the park itself is nice. I wish it weren't dirt, but I completely understand why it is! My pup definitely isn't too happy about the weekly baths, but being able to meet so many nice dogs and dog owners makes up for it! We have never had a bad experience although there are times when I feel like owners should better watch their dogs. My pup in rather small and can get run over quite easily. It's okay if it's once because I can protect my own dog, but if your dog is playing too rough with my dog and I've had to push them off my girl more than once, then it's time to step in. Last thing, please read the rules before coming!! It's required that your dog is neutered or spayed before visiting the dog park. The amount of times my dog has been aggressively humped is just sad. read more

Our dogs love this park. Plenty of well behaved dogs to romp with, room to roam, and places to explore There are enclosures for large and small dogs, but our 3 lb chihuahua plays with the big dogs in the large dog area and has never had a problem. In the winter months you need to bring your own water since the water fountains are off because of the possibility they might freeze and break. It can get muddy after the snow melts or a good rain, but the parks and rec people are pretty good about putting down wood chips at the entrance to keep it from being too messy. read more

Great park for parking and riding bikes...bike trails to go downtown, up the mountain, or just around the pond behind the baseball diamond

This is probably one of great places to be to watch a soccer tournament. Weather is beautiful and facility is nicely maintained. It's easy to lose track of time while enjoying its surrounding. It is actually a beautiful softball facility nestled in the woodsy Flagstaff Arizona. Without noticing the signs, we brought our dogs to come join us on this trip. Unfortunately, we were politely notified that dog's are not allowed. My poor hubby had to take the dogs out but fortunately, there was a dog park near by. read more

Great, family friendly park. Lots of fun things for kids to play on and space to run around. Bring a blanket so you can sit in a shady spot.

Very nice park but is NOT a dog park which is what we searched for. Dogs are permitted in the park but must remain on a leash.

awesome little park near downtown! We don't get to go as often as we would like because we are on the opposite side of town, but it has great play sets for the kids! There are unique jungle gyms and fun musical toys too. The park is always super clean and we often find fun, new friends while we are there. A great place to relax and let the kids play. read more

Our 2 American Pit Bulls has a great time there. There is a large open space with shade trees. There is plenty of play equipment. In the summer what would be nice is a kiddie pool we can fill with water. It was hot and water was an issue but they do have large water buckets The park lost a star because it didn't have the little water pool pools but other than that it was a great place to take our dogs. read more

Great place for my 3 year old... he loves it and rightfully so.

we've come here several times and so far all the dogs have been friendly - and so have the people. the park itself is pretty big, has a couple covered picnic type covered tables and even a small agility course (for the dogs)! the park was clean exept for one or two poops, but that's down to the people not cleaning up after their pets. it's nice to be in a wooded area because when it gets hot the shade is refreshing. there are several water bowls, refilled by us as needed for our dogs, and many tennis balls left by other friendly dogs and their people . read more

I am impressed by how much community is here. It takes a village to raise good socialized pups, as I witnessed here. I was clearly a new stranger to the neighborhood, but overall people welcomed my pups, even if it was just for one day. So much fun and so many interactive parents. read more

We went to Thorpe Park in January after the snowstorm to ride the sleds. It's a great place for kids (and adults) to ride the sleds! Watch out for stumps and rocks, we broke a couple of our less-expensive snow discs here. On-site porta-potties are labeled "First Class"... of course, they're not! If you need to go, drive uphill to the Lowell Observatory for a decent pit stop. read more

It is a very nice park with tennis courts, a nice kids play area, picnic area, disc golf and hiking trails. There is supposed to be an off leash dog area, but I never found it. Maybe better signage might help. Great place to stop if your driving through and need to get out of the car for a while. read more

The park during the day is okay. Less dogs. It gets packed in the evening time. The thing I hate about this park is how rough people let their dogs be. They do not control how rough they play and it get all the other dogs going and they start going at it. Won't ever take my dogs here in the evening ever again. I literally had to push a dog off of mine because he kept antagonizing her. Owner did nothing. read more
