Arvada

Where: West Arvada Dog Park by the reservoir at W. 64th Ave near Virgil
Driving Directions: Head about 3/4 mile EAST of Hwy 93 on W. 64th Avenue to 17975 W. 64th Parkway. You’ll see the Dog Park on the left (north) side of the road opposite Long Lake regional Park and just east of the Arvada/Bunn Reservoir. Turn left into the parking lot.
If coming WEST from Indiana (Hwy 72), it’s 2 miles west of Indiana on 64th Avenue. Look for the signs. Turn right into the parking lot.
Parking: Adjacent.
Amenities: So far, there’s not much but stay tuned as there are BIG PLANS for this BIG PARK !! Right now there’s no shade and no water and only one bench. There are poop bags (supplied by the public, so be sure to bring some for your dog and others) and Port-O-Lets.
Description: This park opened on June 18th, 2005. Eventually, it will encompass 20 acres !! Right now it’s 5 acres of scrub grass and very steep hills — very open and “wild” — not a dog park for the faint-hearted!! Currently, there are 3 areas next to each other — one’s for shy/small dogs; one for larger or more outgoing dogs; and one in reserve. This park was funded by contributions from the public and JeffCo — a major effort of some very dedicated dog-lovers. Kudos to the volunteers whose dream is becoming a reality!
