Dog Parks in Albuquerque

Bud Warren & Lady Dog Park
Address: 10001 Universe NW
Notes: Fenced; No Lights  Water: Yes

One of my favorite dog parks in Albuquerque is this park. I love the name of this park. It just makes me smile. Another thing I like about this Albuquerque Dog Park is that it has a dedicated area for large dogs and dogs under 25 pounds. This park is located in the NW corner of Rio Rancho near Ventana Ranch. It also feels private. You really cant see this one from the road or parking lot.

Santa Fe Village Dog Park
Address: 5700 Bogart NW  Notes: Fenced; Lights
Water: Yes

So far this is the largest dog park I have found in the Albuquerque area. It also had the added bonus of a small dog area. So fun to see the larger dogs running which seemed to be just as far as they could imagine. There were tongues hanging out everywhere.

Ouray Dog Park
Address: 7500 Ouray NW
Notes: Fenced
Water: Yes

This dog park is a nice option on the west side. It has a wood chip type of ground a just a couple of areas for sitting down. Not as much shade at this park as others, but a nice large area for running around.

Rio Grande Triangle Park
Address: 1451 Kit Carson SE – Notes: Fenced; Lights
Water: Yes
This park is located in an amazing area. At the south end of Rio Grande Park, you are very near Tingley Beach, the Albuquerque Zoo and the Albuquerque Bio Park. This park is a bit smaller than others in the city, but it does have a cement walking trail around the park. It also has a small section of artificial turf. There are numerous trees for shade but only one shade structure at a bench.

Tower Pond Park
Address: Tower SW and 86th SW Notes: Fenced

Located in southwest Albuquerque, this dog park is located in a beautiful community park that features baseball diamonds and a very large grassy area. This park is long and narrow. On the smaller side compared to some other Albuquerque dog parks, it does have a variety of trees for shade and benches with share coverings.

Westgate Dog Park
Address: Cartagena & Valley View
Notes: Fenced; Lights  Water: No

This park is located in southwest Albuquerque and well worth the visit. It is a very large park for plenty of room for running. It also has numerous benches with shade structures. There are also trees continuing to grow to provide additional shade. A very nice park.

Dog Parks in Albuquerque – Behavioral Tips For Dog Park Attendees

With considering taking Poppy to dog parks in Albuquerque, we wanted to make sure we were doing it “right”. Meaning we wanted to make sure to keep Poppy safe while also being a good user of the parks so other dogs and families can enjoy their time as well. We found these tips to be helpful that are provided by the Association of Professional Dog Trainers.

Do

• Check out the entrance before entering to make sure dogs aren’t congregating there.
• Pay close attention to their dog’s play style, interrupting play if necessary to calm their dog down.
• Move around the park so that their dog needs to keep an eye on them.
• Remove their dog if the dog appears afraid.
• Remove their dog if it is bullying others.
• Respect their dog’s wish to leave.
• Leave special toys at home to avoid resource guarding problems.

Don’t

• Allow your dog to enter the park if there is a “gang” right next to the entrance.
• Believe that dogs can “work it out” if you just let them do so.
• Congregate at a picnic table or other area and chat with dog owners without watching their own dog.
• Let their frightened dog remain in the park and hope things get better.
• Listen to other attendees in the park, who may not understand their dog’s needs.
• Assume a dog is aggressive when it is only trying to communicate its discomfort.
