55This is a really great spot with a beautiful view of the mountains! It was quiet and my dogs had plenty of room to romp around and explore. The owners of the property even left some treats for my dogs, which was super sweet! We'll definitely be coming back to this lovely location!Julie M.

55Really great spot! It was so nice and quiet the whole time and plenty of space between neighboring properties. A very reactive dog friendly spot. 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.

55Great space! Easy to find and secure for both my tiny dog and my larger dog. Loved the places to sit and other amenities.
For those with reactive pups, there were neighbors out and about and dogs barking nearby while we were there, which did set off my reactive dog a bit.Annie H.

55Another great visit! I spilled some water while refilling the dog bowl and Baxter had a blast rolling around in the mud. Someone had to get a bath tonight but he’s a very happy boy lol :)Bri L.

55I love this space! I take my reactive dog here all the time and she has a blast. They have a bucket of toys, balls, and frisbees to use and the space is always very clean and maintained! Clean water is always available for you and your dog! The neighbors have dogs you can see sometimes but it is fully fenced! The view of the mountains also adds some points. My go to spot for sure!!Brooke J.

55Nice property located in a nice part of town, nestled within a quiet neighborhood. Incredible view of the front range mountains.

55So thankful to have people willing to create spaces like this. There was a really big fenced area with water, bags, trash, and extra toys. My pups loved running around. Kya H.

55The perfect place! We brought our two pups (lab and mini schnauzer) and they had a blast. Everything was fenced in well and we weren’t worried about either getting out. So much space to run and play! There were treats, bowls for water, a water hose, balls… everything you could need to have a good time. There are chairs and shade for the humans as well. Such a great place. Thanks again for letting us visit! Elizabeth G.

55My sweet pup loved Poppy’s! He got to run, play, and live his best life. Toys, poop bags, trash can and water are provided. You can hear the neighbors dogs, chickens and roosters, but far enough away it’s not too bad. Loved it, we will definitely be back! Emmalee A.
