About this park

East Boulder Community Park wraps a walking loop around a pond and puts a fenced off-leash area on one bank, with its own gated access to the water for swimming. Shade, community water bowls, and easy parking make it a neighborhood park that works as a real dog destination.

Before you go

Restrooms and the water-bottle filling station are seasonal; expect them closed through the colder months. Poop bag stations sometimes run empty, so bring your own just in case.

Frequently asked

Is the off-leash area fenced?
Yes, and the fencing extends to a section of the pond, so dogs get water access without leaving the enclosure.
Can dogs swim here?
Yes. A fenced stretch of the pond is open to them, and part of the appeal of East Boulder Community Park is watching dogs chase each other across the water from a bench on the far bank.
Is there a separate small-dog area?
Yes. Reviewers describe a section for all dogs and a separate one for smaller dogs, alongside the pond access.
Are restrooms and drinking water available year-round?
No. The restroom and the bottle-filling station near the tennis courts close through the cold months. Community water bowls for dogs sit at the dog area.
What else is on the property?
A pond loop trail, tennis and racquetball courts, sand volleyball, turf and grass soccer fields, and a large playground with a climbable T-Rex that gets hot to the touch in summer. Parking is easy to find and plentiful.
