About this park
Rail Yard Dog Park is a well-kept park near downtown Denver with two sections (high-energy and a smaller side for little dogs), plus solid seating and bag dispensers. It stays clean and the space is generous enough for real running. Water is turned off in winter so bring your own. The crowd is generally mellow and dog-friendly, making first visits easy.
