Countryside Dog Park

This dog park is one I really enjoy, very friendly, large area, trees, plenty of parking and running water. Although, with all the Doggie Waste Stations people are NOT picking up after their dogs.

We took our dog here a couple times before. It was today we found out they are closed on Tuesdays. This is an average park for small and large dogs. They have separate areas for each. There are lights for evening use. As with any dog park the experience all depends on the temperament of the other dogs there at the time.

Great neighborhood dog park. There is a big area for big dogs and a separate area for small/​timid dogs. Came here early on a Saturday morning and it wasn’t too overly crowded. We have a mini dachshund so we were on the small dog side. The people who were there were friendly and attentive to their dogs. The place is clean, people are good about cleaning up after their dogs. My dog, Bella wore herself completely out here and came home and slept most of the day away. That’s a good day at the Dog Park.

Good neighborhood dog park. Lots of regulars, but no cliques. Large open grassy area but nothing special and also has a separate area for smaller dogs. There are water stations on each side but no pools or other water. Closed on Tuesdays I believe.

Grass! Lots of it! Small dog area and big dog area. Clean, plenty of seating, water for the dogs. Lots of room to play. Really liked this park and so did Diego! By the way, nice people there too!

My usual park (quail run in Mesa) is closed for the month. So we are at this park instead. First, there are hardly any places to sit. And barely any shade trees. Daytime visits are impossibly uncomfortable. Layout is weird. Lots of slippery places for the dogs to hurt themselves on. Also a large «pool» of dirty runoff in the back corner which creates a mucky muddy mess if you pup decides to explore it. Bring bags for poop pickup. There aren’t many at the park bag dispensers. I didn’t find even one. At night there are a lot of gnats if you sit in any of the grassy areas. They are a nuisance. Overall not my favorite park. But it will do for now. I’m grateful we have one at least.

Park is pretty big. They have a small dog and medium and big dog side. The set up is good. Large play area for the dogs to run around. Only thing is that people still don’t know how to clean after their pets! Smh… But other than that there’s good space for dogs to roam freely. Also the park is pretty big as well so if you just want to walk around it’s pretty nice as well.

It’s a fenced in part grass/​part rocky dirt area with some benches, a couple large trees, and water. NOTE: the water runs HOT in summer, so bring your own water. The city needs to plant some shrubs and more trees especially on the west end for shade. It’s pretty basic and is the Mesa «just barely adequate» quality. NO POOP BAGS — so bring your own and please pick up poop. If everyone picked up an extra poop when they are there, it would be clean. Occasional problems with dog owner’s not being responsible along with very young toddlers running and screaming throughout the park with parents at other end of park with baby. 12 yr. old age restriction should be in place — sorry, but a few ruin it for others, and it is a dog park. I just leave even though my dog’s are friendly, it’s just not worth the risk when I would be the one to be held responsible if their unattended 2 yr. old got hurt.

This is the best dog park I’ve been to, unfortunately the same lady who usually goes to Quail Run Park is here every few days and her dog attacked mine, just like the last time. I hope she’ll stop coming so my dog doesn’t have to miss out on the fun because she doesn’t know how to train her dog to know the word ‘NO’. Other than this one owner, the park is great.

We did not enjoy being harassed by some guy with a pit bull when our nice husky was just sniffing his dog. He harassed us for 5 minutes straight-​to leave even though we had just as much a right to be there as him. Our husky was not doing anything but playing and it was really dumb so we just left. It made my wife feel unsafe to be harassed for nothing. What a dick. Quail run is the way better dog park and you won’t get any bs that comes with bringing your family member around.

Once again my husband and I decided to try countryside dog park. Our previous experience had been when a pit bull attacked our 6 month old rescue puppy. Now we brought that same dog back along with another rescue we adopted at Thanksgiving. This experience proved to be just as bad as our previous experience. The outer gate has a chain through it so it cannot be latched. Everything was going well until our new rescue followed a woman with her two dogs into the double gate system. My husband was calling our dog and the woman saw my husband coming to get our dog and opened the gate and purposely let our dog out! I was following with our other dog and was completely stunned by her actions! When asked by both of us why she would let someone else’s dog out she merely said he’s a bad dog and then grinned at us. I have never seen such ignorance in my life. I don’t understand her actions nor do I understand why the double gate system has been chained so it doesn’t do it’s job. We will not be returning and I advise others to watch for a blond woman in a silver mini van who feels it’s ok to disregard the safety of others dogs.

Great set-​up! Love the water system (push it once and it’s on a timer so dogs can drink from the flow or wait for it to go into the many bowls there — don’t have to hold down the button!).
Really friendly people and dogs.
I’ll be back!

Great park, love how it is set up. The doggie water fountain has bowls that don’t look like they are cleaned often, so we always bring our own doggie water bowl. The doggie poop bags run on a donation system, so bring your own because sometimes they’re out. Bring some plastic grocery bags to donate if you have plenty! Also, a common mistake people make is sitting in the chairs or on the benches. I’ve watched so many male dogs pee on those seats so many times, I’m absolutely amazed people still use those chairs. I never sit down the entire time I’m there, and I’m peaches with that. If you need to sit, recommend you bring your own chair.

I went yesterday morning (Friday) and Stormy had a blast! There are tons of nice people to meet. The park is basically a big grassy area and a chunk is blocked off for little dogs. There’s a double entrance gate… Left for the big park and right for the small park.
There’s a big water fountain and buckets full of water. Everyone I saw there picked up the poop. Tennis balls are all over to use.
I’ve also been to Cosmo. If you prefer a calmer, more one on one kind of place, Countryside is for you!

Countryside Dog park, is closer to me than Cosmo so I like it. Countryside is an awesome park, they also have separate areas for big and small dogs, but we chose to just stick to the big dogs side (even though we have a 6 pound Morkie) She can hang. Lola loved playing with the 90 lb rottweiler named Stretch and all the other dogs. The feel at this park is similar to Cosmo in that all the owners are familiar with each other because they come so often, but this dog park seems more community oriented. There was an older lady and one of the dog owners brought her a folding chair, the owners share and bring large coolers for water and treats for everyone. All owners watch their dogs and play with other dogs as well. There are plenty of benches and water fountains for the pups. The one thing I like about this park in comparison to Cosmo Dog Park in Gilbert is the fact that the grass is a bit healthier and its less dirty. Lola gets pretty dirty at Cosmo, but she seemed pretty good at this park because there were no dry grass bits sticking to her fur. The only thing that grossed me out was BIG dogs= BIG poops. One owner neglected to clean up after her dog, perhaps she was just excited to socialize with the other dog owners, but it kind of erked me.
Love this place, Clean up after your pets!
Here are some other facts about the place:
*The off leash area is closed on Tuesdays for maintenance.
*The park has lighted baseball fields, bbq’s, picnic tables, Ramada’s, and walking trails!
