Dogs play at Zeckenbark Dog Park south of downtown on Nov. 15, 2023, in Denver. Every day, Andrea Cunningham drives Grover, her 3-year-old wirehaired pointing griffon, four miles roundtrip to Fuller Dog Park in northeast Denver — even though she lives just blocks from Cheesman Park.
Among dog owners dissatisfied with existing metro dog parks is Westminster resident Jessica Johnson, who prefers larger spaces than what the typical site offers. Denver Parks and Recreation spokesperson Yolanda Quesada said her department “is committed to expanding our dog parks to allow a safe place for Denver residents to take their dogs, with a goal of having every resident living within a two-mile radius or less of a dog park.”
In an open green space, a red sign installed by the city warned visitors that dogs must be leashed at all times, with violators subject to citations. Several parkgoers disregarded the notice. Rangers consider if a pet’s behavior is negatively affecting others, if numerous complaints were made and if resources in the area sustained damage. For off-leash violations, citations start at $100 and rise to $999 for several offenses.
“It’s obvious we need more dog parks, but where do you put them?” Kashmann said. “Trying to retrofit a landlocked city where we’re built curb to curb is awfully challenging.”to propose a dog park at Veterans Park within his district.
