Broomfield County Commons Dog Park

Pretty good dog park! Not much shade, just a covered bench in both the small and large dog side. But lots of logs in the large dog side and less in the small dog side. Nice people and dogs. This was our dog’s first time being at a dog park and he had a great time! There is even a watering area in each side for the dogs! Not much grass but not barren. We had a good time.

I used to take my dog here until I ran into some rude dog owners probably the one that wrote the review about the «regulars». Don’t come anymore, my puppy/​dog now was bitten by other dogs twice at this park… bad dogs and even worse owners… dogs will be dogs and humans will continue to be ignorant.

I live in Broomfield and I think this park is ok… Only complaint is the lack of «grass» which can be problematic on muddy days. Really it’s a lack of anything in this park that really kind of irks me. This is especially true in the springtime… I can’t tell you how many times I walked out with my boots/​shoes/​pants just caked with mud… This problem becomes compounded by the fact that I have 4 dogs… It makes for a very messy car. The dog park also has a sign which advises its users that it is a «temporary park» I have been told that this sign has been up «for years.» I really think Broomfield county can do much better for its residents… both two legged and four legged. A little maintenance and investment in the space as an actual dog park could vastly improve the experience. It is a barren park currently… (literally a plot of land –mud– with a fence around it) a few trees, some grass, gravel paths, more places for people to sit… Maybe even a water feature could make all the difference! Surrounding counties have all invested in some kind of dog park for their residents… I truly believe that Broomfield residents should have a space that reflects the quality of the parks, open space and trails that are already maintained by the City and County. This is a well-​used park… Broomfield really needs a place where dogs and their humans can belong.

Rocco (my 6 year old Boxer) likes this park … a lot.
When we pull up in our car, he starts to shake his butt with excitement. There are two big areas fenced in. The first time we went, we put him in the one with no dogs, because we had just adopted him and wanted to see how he acts. He ‘talked’ to all the dogs at the fence dividing the two sections and ran to his hearts content.
More recently he was going in with all the other dogs, and loves it. Yes, it is kind of dry… and there isn’t a lot of comfortable shady spots… so, when it rains a little or over by the water dishes… you get mud very easily… no grass at all.
But for our purposes, an enclosed space to run and run, it does its job… and our dog always passes out on the kitchen floor when we come back from here.
So, I’ll give it 4 stars from my dog’s perspective. but agree, not always fun for people :) Especially when its HOT :)

This place is big. REALLY REALLY BIG. That’s really the only good thing about it. If you have a greyhound, he’d be able to get to a full gallop.
I like the fact that it’s WIDE open and it’s a popular dog park. Everytime I’ve been here there’s tons of dogs for my dogs to socialize with. There’s dog clean up bags provided, garbage cans and a dog drinking fountain (but that’s turned off for about 4 – 5 months of the year in winter).
What I don’t like about it is that it’s SO barren. There are no trees, no shade and very few places to sit. Most people end up standing, cause I think there’s only 6 – 8 benchs. You could easily subsitute the term «wide open land» for «desolate wasteland» depending on whether you were having a half-​full or half-​empty day.

According to Lola, my labor-​doodle:
«I love this big open play space. I get to see and smell lots of my friends who come to this park as much as I do and there’s lots of tennis balls every where. But on really hot days I get tired cus there’s no shade for me to rest under. The water can get gross after a while because the park people took out the automatic watering bowl. Now my mommy brings me my own water and bowl. I hope to see you at the park soon. I’m the black dog with a short tail that welcomes you at the gate.»
