Before you go

The wood chip surface is much easier on paws than gravel and cleaner than mud. In summer the tree canopy provides real shade, a rare comfort among Denver-area parks.

Frequently asked

Is Englewood Canine Corral fully fenced?
Yes. It is roughly an acre and a half of fenced rectangle with sightlines into every corner, which owners like for keeping a dog in view without walking the perimeter.
What is the ground surface?
Wood chips across the whole area. They went down to fix a mud problem and reviewers say it worked: less dust in summer, less mud in the wet months, and dogs that leave clean. Cold snaps can still leave patches icy.
Is there water?
A faucet and bowls run through the warm months and shut off for winter, so a bottle from home covers the cold season. A creek runs alongside the park for dogs that want to wade.
Is there shade?
Mature trees along the edges give genuine summer shade, uncommon among Denver-area parks, with picnic tables set underneath.
Is it a good fit for a dog that needs close watching?
The size helps, since nothing happens out of sight. Some regulars note that owner attention thins out during busy stretches, so plan to stay involved rather than sit back.
