Ashbaugh Park
Quiet neighborhood field with a disc golf loop
About this park
Ashbaugh Park sits behind the fire station off Cerrillos Road: a leash-required neighborhood park with a broad open field, scattered tall trees for summer shade, and a casual disc golf course looping the perimeter. It is an easy on-leash walking stop rather than a dedicated dog destination, low-key and mostly quiet on weekdays.

Ashbaugh Park reviews
What visitors consistently sayFree parking and tall trees are the practical draws, and the shade earns its keep once the high-desert sun gets going. Reviewers who find Ashbaugh at all call it a hidden gem, since nothing on Cerrillos Road advertises it.

Before you go
Leashes are required here. The open field is unfenced and riddled with prairie dog and gopher holes, so watch your dog's footing. The concrete path doesn't fully loop, and the restrooms have historically been closed.
Frequently asked
- Can dogs go off-leash?
- No. Ashbaugh Park is leash-required and the field is unfenced, though one reviewer notes that some owners ignore the rule.
- Is the ground safe for running?
- Watch for holes. The open field is riddled with prairie dog and gopher burrows, and the dirt underfoot is uneven in places.
- Are there restrooms?
- Reviewers going back several years report the bathrooms closed, so it is not a park to count on for facilities.
- Is there a walking loop?
- Not a complete one. The concrete path stops short of circling the park, so a full lap means crossing the grass.
- What about the disc golf course?
- Baskets ring the commons but the tees are unmarked, so players find their own way. It shares space with dog walkers, which is worth a look before letting a dog wander on a long lead.
