dog parks in West City Park neighborhood

This Dog Park was named after the local Denver councilwoman, who passed away too early.  Technically Carla Madison Dog Park is not located in West City Park, but across the street from it. However, it is a useful, centrally located off-leash dog area — especially handy for nearby residents who want a quick, fenced space for play and socialization. Its smaller size and urban setting are part of its charm, so it’s perfect for regular short visits rather than all-day excursions. Also there is limited shade other than a pavilion. There are several park benches to sit. In the event you need water or bathroom, Carla Madison Rec Center is adjacent to it. Better yet, bring your own water.
