About this park

An enormous fenced dog park in Fountain Hills with separate entrances and enclosures for small and large dogs. A shaded seating area, water hose, and a communal baby pool in summer keep dogs cool, though the turf is scrubbier and weedier than the manicured Scottsdale parks to the west.

Desert Vista Dog Park reviews

What visitors consistently say
The highlights

Reviewers love the sheer size: dogs get room to actually run instead of circling. The summer baby pool and communal water setup get frequent callouts as a genuinely useful hot-weather amenity.

Before you go

Watch for sticker weeds and foxtails, especially if you have a long-coated dog. Bring a brush for the ride home. The dog area entrance is poorly signed; aim for the small or large dog gate depending on where you park.
