55This is a great spot, it’s fully gated, and they supply balls/toys, fresh water and waste bags as well as water bottles for you. They even had fresh farm eggs for sale in a little cooler! They also left my dog a little treat to welcome him which was so thoughtful!Elena R.

55Great park for our high energy dog! Comfortable drive in, easy access, big space! Some toys were provided, along with water for our dog, water bottles for us, and assorted toys! There’s a seating area and a bench, the fences were appropriate height. We loved it!James D.

55Great spot for our super athletic but sadly dog reactive dog Rocky! Super clean, secure fence. Water for both dogs and humans! Plenty of dog toys. Also a little spot of shade for our old man pup Jed to chill while Rocky got his zoomies out. Christine A.

55Perfect spot for our dogs. Host left us some cookies, waters, and trash bags for dog poo. We had the best time. Dogs ran themselves to exhaustion in approximately 9 minutes and spent the rest of the hour appreciating the shade and water bowl. We will definitely be back. Nice views of mountains for humans :)Kat P.

55We brought our husky mix and mom’s German Shepard to play here! They had so much fun. Free water bottles are left out for humans every time we’ve been which is so thoughtful. And there’s a stash of dog toys available if you forgot yours at home. We even forgot an item last time, and it was left waiting for us on the fence! And we had a fresh jug of water brought out for the dogs as we pulled in. Always a great experience at this play area!James D.

55Very cute spot with plenty of space to run and play! The fencing was secure all the way around. We were able to see the neighbors dogs in their yard and a couple horses while playing but the other dogs just seemed to ignore us! Kimberlie D.

55This is a perfect setup-- beautiful area and thoughtful amenities. My dog enjoyed sniffing the area and seemed to really like it. This was nice for her as we don't have room to roam in our yard. Highly recommend.Kathy S.

Water bottles, water bowl, toys, treats, and poop bags were provided. Baxter had so much fun. Thanks for sharing your space! We will definitely be back :)Bri L.

FAQ about our Thornton small dog parks
Are small dog parks safe?
While public dog parks have a number of safety issues, such as aggressive dogs, disease transmission and general cleanliness, Sniffspot dog parks are much safer than public dog parks. With Sniffspot all bookings are private for just you and dogs you bring with you and we require all dogs to be vaccinated (or have equivalent titers). All Sniffspot locations are vetted and reviewed by park users so you can find the perfect place for you and your dog. 93% of reviews on Sniffspot visits are 5 stars.
How can I find small dog parks in Thornton?
There are 129 small dog parks in the Thornton area. The most popular small dog park is . You can browse all of our small dog parks here.
How do I know if a small dog park works for my dog?
Start by applying basic filters, such as fencing and distractions, to find a dog park that works for your furry friends. If your dog doesn't respond to owner commands, you can visit one of our enclosed dog park areas. If your dog is reactive to other dogs, you can visit one of our small dog park sites where there are no dogs audible or visible nearby. You can see any park amenities provided, including a park bench, water for dogs or water features such as kiddie pool or water hose. If your dog loves water, you can go to a park with water features, but if they don't love water, you can avoid them. We also recommend reading reviews to check for park maintenance issues and reaching out to the host with any questions. And lastly, of course, check park hours. Many of our parks are open from dawn until dusk.
What are the requirements to bring my dog to a Sniffspot park?
We require that all dogs have basic vaccinations or equivalent titers. We do not allow dogs with a bite history. We require that owners sign our waiver and agree to follow our safety rules. We also require that pet owners follow safety protocols around water features.
Will there be other dogs at the Sniffspot park at the same time as me?
Sniffspot only allows one booking at a time and any host dogs are required to be kept away from the spot during visits. We also enforce 30 min time buffers between bookings.
If you are planning an amazing small dog park party, each Sniffspot park has their own rules regarding special events. Many parks allow doggie birthday parties, training, water parties and other event types. Event organizers need to be responsible for their guests and event organizers should coordinate with the host regarding their fun party. Make sure the park has amenities you need for your party, such as a park with lots of picnic tables with park benches.
