Spring Canyon Dog Park
Pea gravel off-leash park with a swimming pond and foothills backdrop
About this park
Spring Canyon Dog Park is the most popular dedicated off-leash facility in Fort Collins, with separate pond and main sections, pea gravel throughout, and foothills views on the west side. The pond section fills seasonally and lets dogs swim. Water fountains serve both dogs and people inside the park, and benches and shelters are distributed across the grounds.

Spring Canyon Dog Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayReviewers rave about the swimming pond, the shaded shelters, and the steady population of well-behaved dogs. The park draws visitors who are not dog owners specifically to watch the action on their morning runs.
Saturday mornings pack the park with a social crowd; weekday evenings run a more regular-resident feel. Dogs across all size ranges show up, and the tone is reliably friendly.

Before you go
The swimming pond section opens seasonally once the water fills. Saturday mornings bring the heaviest crowds. Arrive early to get a bench in the shaded area near the shelters.
