Willow Creek Park (4460 Split Rail Lane) is an enclosed 2.4-acre fenced area with a largedog-friendly pond which features both a zero-entry point and a floating dock for dogs to jump from if they are tempted. There is a 1/3-mile soft surface trail inside the dog park with a 1/2 acre area of "fetch" space. The park also features an agility course for your furry best friends to work on their skills. For the dog owners, there are three small shade shelters to enjoy while keeping an eye on your dog.
Library Park (1255 Park Ave and 13th St.) This big, open field on the north side of the Park City Library and Jim Santy Auditorium is a neighborhood gem that is perfect for dog who love to fetch. Throughout the day, you'll find dogs of all breeds chasing sticks and balls or chilling in the shade while their owners visit with other humans.
Trailside Park (5715 Trailside Drive) includes a park area specific to small dogs as well as a large all-size dog area. Both have sodded and natural surfaces for the pups to run and play, with benches and shade shelters for the humans. In Trailside Park, there is also a 1-mile off-leash trail where your dog can run free, just look for the signs of where you must have them leashed.
Run-A-Muk Trail Area (Utah Olympic Parkway) includes approximately 2 miles of trail to wander with your dog or 43-acres to let them run free. Dog Park hours are dawn to dusk, and restroom facilities are available on site within the parks. Please make sure that your dog is leashed until in the dog park. There are Mutt-Mitt stations throughout the dog parks and at the Run-A-Muk trailside, so please pick up after your pet. There is no poop fairy!
Round Valley is a 1,500 acre playground boasting 30 miles of trails best accessed at Quinn's Junction trailhead (84098 Gilmor Way) offering both on and off-leash areas. There is also decent parking on the Park Meadow's side off the northern tip of Meadows Drive and a small parking area at the Old Ranch Road access point, 1/4 mile north of the 4600 intersection. Please consult the large maps at the trail heads.
The Woods at Parley's Lane (4275 Sunrise Drive) is the area's newest addition of off-leash parks. It is a smaller park with plenty of room for your dog to play off leash.

STAY SAFE!
Some good things to keep in mind:
1) The air temperature is NOT an accurate reflection of ground temperature at all! As a basic ‘rule of paw’ - If the pavement feels too hot for your bare foot, it is too hot for Fido’s tender paws.
2) Just 10 minutes in a hot car can cause heat stroke. Make sure that errand you're running is as short as you think it is!

CBD OIL
What can CBD do for yourdog?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found in cannabis and hemp. The AKC’s Chief Veterinary Officer, Dr. Jerry Klein says it is essential to note that in most cases, CBD does not contain delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound that gives marijuana its psychoactive properties. In fact, most CBD products are derived from hemp and not from marijuana.
Many pet owners have had success administering CBD oil to help their dogs with anxiety, inflammation/joint issues and pain, and many other health problems. Learn morehere.

WHAT'S UP WITH SUP
Stand Up Paddleboarding - Tons of Fun with Fido
|
|
| Beginners should head to "Pebble Beach" at Deer Valley Plaza where the only intimidating factor is the audience from the Deer Valley Cafe deck. Intermediates love Jordanelle and Rockport Reservoirs. Advanced paddle-boarders are drawn to the Weber River in the stretch between Henefer and Taggart. It’s worth the drive to go watch experts navigate rapids with Fido on board! You can then enjoy lunch with peacocks at the infamous Taggart's Grill at the take-out. |

SUMMER SWIMMING
Dog-Friendly Swimming Holes
|
|
| Many of our mountain dog breeds love to swim. In addition to the Willow Creek Dog Pond, there’s a popular dog pond between Pinebrook and Summit Park near Gorgoza Park. It’s right off the paved trail, with very limited parking so best to walk in. Both the Jordanelle Reservoir and Rockport Reservoir welcome dogs, with prohibitions on beaches, so it’s ideal to bring them on your boat. Finally, the Uinta Mountains are FULL of lakes, and dogs are allowed at all of them! |
