we went a hair out of the city for this meet up and you know what, the park ROCKED its now my fav. out of all of them! parking sucks but thats ok. it was held at the elk meadows open space dog park http://www.doggoes.com/parks/colorado/denver-area/elk-meadow-open-space-bark-dog-park
we did not have many come this time, maybe it was the drive (only 40 min for us) or the heat called for that day, or it was a sunday and people had church. what ever the case they all missed out! i think in the fall/ winter this will be a close option for hiking or snowshoeing with the trail system they have around the park. ok on to the pictures (taken with old camera)








run jack!


found this cute mix as we were walking

now to figure out the aug meet.... Erica i want to make it work for you!!!! let me know

Sorry I missed it - I had a home visit to do for the rescue - I think me and Cyndy are the only ones doing adoptions! And I'm the only one doing home visits!

Is the trail system outside the dog part of a bigger trail system or is it similar to the trail outside Surrey Ridge dog park?

never looked at the map for SR.... but for the most part these trails seem to be in the woods where SR is open.

That's a nice little trail system!
And if you want a more extensive trail system for hiking/snowshoeing, Aldefer is close to Bergen Park.

Sorry I missed it! And you know hubby...

Looks like a great set of trails. We might have to check those out.

looks like fun, Maggie would have loved that location!!! Is that all fenced in? I will try the best I can for august, I'm not moved in until the 7th.

its 5 or 7 acres that is fenced! we did notice the gate down below leading to the other fenced section that is not wooded has a bit of a gab they can squeeze through but the only place they will get is into the other park! so if we did mid to late aug you might make it?

Great pics! Looks like fun but I don't know if that fence would contain my more adventurous boys especially if they saw any critters.

I love the pic of Jack running! He was having too much fun!

i think it was about 5.5'high on the fence but that middle bar would be a good ledge if you do have a jumper/climber. S&J found a chipmunk in the dog part! good thing it was fast!

Is there chainlink fencing in addition to the wood? If not, I'm not sure my two would stay contained either.
