Mitchell Dog Park

It's a small park that has both a playground and one single fence dog park. I wish Tempe had a dog park where there are more than 10 fenced dog park areas. I adopted a rescue. Cute dog but aggressive with other male dogs and him being an Australian Shepherd mix I wouldn't mind a place for him too to run around too.

Nice place to exercise a dog. Plenty of seating and a water fountain for the animals.

This dog park is great. Mostly clean until closer to Wednesday (cleaning hours 6am-1pm). People are friendly as are their pets, hardly a fight between pets ever. I like to come here multiple times a week with my two dogs. Morning(after the sun comes up) isn't as busy as the evening(430pm to dark). Playground A playground is near the dog park. Restrooms There are no restrooms. Dog-friendliness For the most part, in my opinion, 90%+ of the dogs are friendly. Picnic area Near the playground.

Stopped here after leaving the airport and it was the perfect spot for the pups to relax after the anxiety of a flight. Lots of trees for shade, places to sit, and green grass to enjoy. Very clean and well kept as well. Dog-friendliness Dog park has lots of trees that provide shade, room to run, and fresh clean well kept grass.

Great dog park - huge spread out space, well maintained green turf, couple of picnic tables for seating, lots of trees for shade, one garbage can in the corner of the park. The water fountain needs maintenance and doesn’t work except one facet on the side for dogs. No drinking water for humans though. Bunch of friendly dogs and humans! Overall nice park.

Great dog park. It's pretty small area compared to other dog pakrks we've visited but plenty of space for dogs to run around and get tired. Its only one area for small & big dogs. A couple of trees and benches for shade.

We had a great time at Mitchell Park and enjoyed the brand new playground!! Thanks to the Tempe residents who supported the parks and recreation bond, who made this update possible! One thing is I would like them to have the restrooms open to the public. Usually they seem to be closed. It may be because the school is run separately. Playground Love the new playground! Dog-friendliness There is a dog park.

Excellent park lots of shade and places for kids to go wild! Dog park is spacious and has a good amount of dogs to play with!

Mitchell Dog Park has potential, but there are a few concerns that made our visit less than ideal. First, many owners aren’t picking up after their dogs, which makes the area feel neglected. More importantly, there were several large, aggressive dogs running loose and acting unfriendly. I witnessed two separate incidents where dogs snapped at others, and the owners didn’t seem concerned at all. That’s when I decided it was best for me and my service pup to leave. Another issue is the lack of separation between large and small breeds. A few smaller dogs were unintentionally trampled, it's hard to avoid when all sizes are mixed together in an open space. I really wish more local dog parks were more than just fenced-in dirt plots. With some better maintenance, clearer rules, and designated areas for different dog sizes, this place could really shine. 0:03

This dog park has potential although a few items of concern: Lots of owners are forgetting to pick up after their dogs! See pics for more info. When we were there, two HUGE, known aggressive breed dogs were cut loose in the park...running loose and not necessarily acting friendly... they were acting aggressive. Owners not worried about possible issues whatsoever. So we picked up our two 3 pound puppies and left with a bad taste. Dog-friendliness Not sure there is one!
