Are small and large dogs separated?

Yes. Fort Marcy has two side-by-side fenced enclosures, one for small dogs and one for large, both surfaced in dirt and wood chips.

Is there an agility course?

The large-dog side has a modest set of obstacles. Reviewers treat them as a fun extra rather than a full training course.

Where is the entrance?

Parking is by the tennis courts, and the enclosures sit directly south of them, down a set of stairs and across a bridge.

Is there water inside the fence?

No refill station in either enclosure, so visitors bring a jug. Two benches sit in the large-dog side, one in shade and one in sun.

Is it big enough for a high-energy dog?

It reads small next to the open-space parks elsewhere in the city, but reviewers with hyper dogs report getting real running out of the large-dog side.

About this park

Fort Marcy's dog park sits just south of the tennis courts, with separate fenced enclosures for small and large dogs and a mulch-and-dirt surface that holds up in Santa Fe's dry climate. The large-dog side includes a modest agility course, and there's enough room for a hyper dog to get real running in. Clean, well kept, and easy to find from the tennis court lot.

Fort Marcy Dog Park reviews

What visitors consistently say

The highlights

Owners like the clean split between the small-dog and large-dog sides, and the mulch-and-dirt footing gets credit for staying soft. The agility obstacles in the big-dog enclosure come up as a bonus, and review after review calls the place clean and well kept.

The community

Turnout can be thin, and Fort Marcy is at its best when other regulars show up at the same time. Reviewers who catch a busy hour describe a friendly scene with dogs egging each other on.

Before you go

Bring your own water; there's no refill station inside the enclosures. Park by the tennis courts and walk down the stairs and over the bridge to reach the fenced areas.
