Autrey Park
Agility setups and a constant water tap off Superior's trail network
About this park
Autrey Park's fenced dog area lies at the bottom of a hill in Superior, wired into the town's walking-path grid, with an agility course and a constant-flow city tap inside the fence. A small-dog section added later carved off roughly a quarter of what used to be one large run.
Amenities
Autrey Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayAutrey's place at the center of Superior's walking-path grid is what regulars value most. Many walk in rather than drive, and reviewers call out the local habit of leaving extra poop bags and tennis balls behind for whoever shows up next.
A judgment-free crowd of local regulars, most of them arriving on foot from a nearby street. An owner of two pit bulls describes nobody scoffing or steering clear, though a recent reviewer complains that groups plant themselves in front of the gate and block the way through.

Before you go
Terrain is patchy gravel-and-dirt with few remaining shade trees, so bring a towel for muddy paws and don't count on shade in summer. Skip the small stagnant ponds for drinking water; the piped tap inside the fence is the clean source.
Frequently asked
- Is Autrey Park's dog area fenced, and is there a small-dog side?
- Yes to both. The small-dog section was carved out of the main run and takes up about a quarter of the original footprint, though reviewers complain that larger dogs end up in it anyway.
- Is there drinking water?
- Yes. A piped city tap runs inside the fence and supplies constant water. The two small standing ponds elsewhere on the property are not a drinking source, and they breed mosquitoes in warm months.
- Is there shade?
- Very little inside the fence. Trees have come down over the years with the stumps left in place, and the last properly shaded bench has drawn a wasp nest in summer. The tables outside the gate keep better tree cover.
- What is the footing like?
- Patchy gravel and dirt with barely any grass. Reviewers describe sharp rocks that catch paws during ball chases, plus dug-out holes that fill with sludge in spring.
- Is there anything unpleasant nearby?
- A wastewater treatment facility sits next door, and one recent reviewer names the smell as the reason they stopped coming.
