Papago Bark Park

I go through here on my way back to the lightrail, it's a short cut I have used for many years. It also has a bathroom and water fountain for my favorite little Min -Pin Chihuahua Service Animal Minnie.

There is a parking lot, and its next to the smallest most doable hike on the planet! On a sadder note though, they actively chose to order anti-homeless benches which are a lot more uncomfortable to sit in. Thats really disappointing

Yoga in the park! It was fun the bark Park is there just off to the side... It was awesome to do yoga and see the dogs walking by with their owners and the dog park was not super loud and there were some really cool dogs! It's located in a nice little area there's lots of trees which is not common for a dog park so I think it would be a great place to bring my dog after I do yoga LOL!

If you're in the area with your dog, then your furry friend will enjoy this laid back no bells and whistles park. The grass is taken care of, the doggie bags are the best quality for picking up after your dog. There's two sections, however 1 is usually closed, but last week I saw one person in there so perhaps that's changed which gives the option of socializing your dog or not. The people and dogs that frequent it are chill and it doesn't get too crowded. You do have a trail and small mountain to take a small adventure before or after the doggie park. Lastly, there's a park next to the dog park for the kids too. Playground It's not overly crowded and seems pretty well kept after being updated. Restrooms Typical park restroom, but thankfully everything works and there's always hand soap which is rare in many park restrooms. Good for a 1, but only a 2 in an emergency 😩. Dog-friendliness As many times as I've gone, all the dogs have been well behaved and no witnessed incidents since I've been taking Buddy. Picnic area There's a huge Ramada there however there used to be many transients hanging out there, lately I haven't seen any. I've seen people use it in the past months for a party so it's available for that.

There is no separate dog park for big dogs and small dogs.

We had our first visit today during the afternoon, and its an okay dog park. Im sure once there's more dogs to play with its an enjoyable time. The "adventure area" behind the dog park is beautiful but FILLED with broken glass shards everywhere. We did explore around the rocks and caves but its so sad to see the area littered with broken glass. 0:16

The park overall has a slightly sketchy vibe, but with security and rangers present, it feels safe during the day. I won't be coming here at night. The picnic shelter, sandwiched between the pond and the road, seems to be inhabited by long-term park residents, resulting in food items and garbage scattered around, which can attract curious dogs on the way to the bark park. Despite these drawbacks, I still feel secure, and the view from the dog park area is exceptional! See.attached videos. One downside is the prevalence of uncollected dog waste, Overall, it's a solid park with two separate dog areas hillside. Great views! Dog-friendliness It's a dog park with water fountain and bag dispensers. 0:08

Never seen so much dog poop in a dog park in my life. What is happening, folks? Vet bills must be very high is all I can say while I wipe your dog’s poo off my dog’s paws and just wonder… why? So very much poop. And the 2 other folks who dared to enter said it’s usually worse.

I planted a tree here and visit it often! Love the pond and trees, such a peaceful area of Tempe!

This place is a very clean and beautiful park. There are park Rangers that do come around and also a police officer too but he parks and watches just to make sure everybody is safe and civil. The lake is pretty clean to me and there are fishes in it too mostly baby ones. There is a dog park, picnic areas,shade from the sun, and kids playground. Dog-friendliness It's a great place to take your dog for a walk and play in the dog area. There are fishes in the pond or lake. You will also see some squirrels and rabbits there. Don't pet them of course because they are not tamed or good as pets. There are cute and adorable though.🥰👌💯🐿🐇🐜🐟🐠🐦🐦‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐕‍🦺🐕🌞🎣🚻🛃🛝🚔 There is a time limit on how long you can be there on the Ramadas and it's 4 hours only. ⏱️ Picnic area The picnic area is descent but there is a couple homeless people or kids that might ne there. But they don't cause any problems. 0:29 0:17
