Dog Parks

Come out and enjoy one of three dog parks throughout Scottsdale. Feel free to bring your own portable chairs and your dog's favorite toys. Plenty of open space, shade and dog water fountains are at every location.

Chaparral Dog Park

Scottsdale's most popular dog park includes 3-acres of grass, benches, play features and water fountains.

Specialized Areas

The dog park is divided into three specialized areas:

• Two areas will be open the majority of the time with one area designated for active dogs and another for passive dogs.
• The third area (on rotation) will be closed for maintenance and turf repair.

Maintenance schedule

Every Tuesday and Friday | 8 a.m. - noon

Horizon Dog Park

This small dog park is located in a retention basin on the far west end of Horizon Park. It has a large shade structure, a water fountain for you and your dog, and a water feature to control the dust. This area of the park is prone to flooding after a storm.

Vista del Camino Dog Park 

This half-acre dog park has plenty of shade trees, benches and water fountains for you and your dog to enjoy. Parking is available off of Pierce Street , just north of McKellips Road. The dog park is just north of this parking area.
