Mesa Bark Place

This park is awesome. Coming from the Chicago area. I was used to dog parks that required a ton of paperwork and an annual fee to join. And that’s IF they had room for a new member.
This park is FREE. No paperwork needed. Awesome.
It’s a HUGE fenced in field for your dog to run around like crazy. There is a large fenced off timid dog area as well. I find myself forced to use this section with my small dogs because almost all the dogs running around the field are big and rowdy.
Most of the dogs are well behaved… but obviously dogs will be dogs. Just be responsible and watch your pup!
There is a water fountain near the entrance. I suggest bringing some kind of container to fill up on your way in.
There are plenty of tennis balls scattered on the ground for you to use. And people are pretty good about cleaning up the poop.
From what I hear, they’re closed on Thursdays for maintenence… clean up… whatever.
The only thing I find slightly annoying is the little seeds… burrs…whatever you want to call them. All over the ground. The grass isn’t as green as the pictures show… more of a matted down deadish yellow… and it’s full of dry grass bits and those damn seeds…
They’ll get all up in your fuzzy dogs coat and it’s somewhat annoying to go home and pick those suckers out.
I’m not really sure there’s anything that can be done about this so it is what it is.
The park is awesome though and you’ll probably meet some new friends (dog and human!)
I’ll definitely be a regular here.

We love this dog park. It’s always clean and well kept. The actual dog part is huge and there’s lots of trees and some hills for dogs to roam around. There are also various toys and balls for the pups to play with. The people we’ve encountered there are really nice and social with the pups and others.
I also enjoy that there’s a kids playground next door so we can hit up that one for my daughter while we’re there!

Closed every Thursday. Nice park for when we I visit in laws in the East Valley. Great and super spacious area for your dog to run around. Super clean as well. Several benches/​seating areas. My only frustration is that there is not a designated «small dog area» and large breed area. Only Sections designated as «timid dog» area and other. Owners appear to lack insight around what classifies a «timid dog.» My puppy is a larger more playful breed. It can be daunting for a smaller dog when she attempts to interact with them. I didn’t enjoy running after her to avoid contact while the smaller breed owner stood there anxiously. My dog came to the park to play and interact, if your dog prefers to not interact with other dogs or expend energy by running then maybe the timid area is best for you.

This is a fantastic dog park! I was thrilled to find one so close to home and it is HUGE! Lots of space for dogs to run. They also have a space for timid dogs and lots of benches under shade. This was my first trip and it certainly won’t be my last.

Park looks big enough with shade and benches, but it would have been nice to know the dog park is closed on Thursdays before driving all the way out here.

Dogs love it here. Lots of space, well kept up, and always a variety of friendly and fun dogs to run around with! There is one water fountain but it is by the entrance, so a lot of dog owners bring a small cooler or large bowl and put water closer to where the dogs are running around. Bags are available for messes, but they are supplied by the dog owners so feel free to bring some if you have extra lying around :) Nice area for small dogs too separate from the bigger space in case your little guy doesn’t want to run around with the big guys!

It was a very nice dog park. I’ve never been to another so I can’t really compare but it was a huge area full of green grass and trees. The people were nice and dogs were running around freely and getting along too. There are a bunch of plastic walmart bags which is really my only complaint, but the owners here are always really responsible about cleaning up so the park is always clean. There is also an area for timid dogs. I would highly recommend although I don’t think I will be coming back soon (my dog is a little aggressive)

Loved this dog park! Its huge, green grass, trees for shade and benches all along the perimeter to sit down. What I really like, is at the entrance, its a little above where the actually grassy area is and is open, not narrow, so all the dogs don’t pile up on ya when you come in, very nice. I didn’t see any «poop» bags. I saw walmart type plastic bags, which I never use, because they arn’t biodegradable, so basically when one is used, whether you realize or not, its being saved for posterity in our local landfill. I will definitely bring my dogs here again.

Best dog park in Mesa… large area for dogs to play in. tons of free poopy bags available, and theres even an option for us humans to exercise! Shoot if I walked this entire dog park 3x with my dog I would feel like I deserved an award (like some icecream perhaps?) because I totally deserved it! This place is clean, the people are friendly, the benches scattered around are nice, and yes there is grass! My dog and I love this place, and we will be back soon

This place is the cleanest, largest and most friendly dog park in the east valley. My
Dog absolutely loves this pace and there are dog lovers who show up regularly. Look for a huge dog the size of a bear named Sneakers, he’s a lovable giant who can fit six tennis balls in his mouth at once!

When visiting family in Mesa — I will use this dog park. It is CLEAN!!! And it has GRASS! Easy parking, the place is huge. There is a place for little rat-​dogs (purse dogs) and a separate area for regular size dogs.
Mesa and surrounding communities need more dog parks in general — but if they add more — this should be the template!

This park is far better than Cosmo for several reasons:
1. Much cleaner.
2. Easier walk from parking to the entrance
3. No lake. My dogs don’t swim and even if they did, I wouldn’t allow them to swim in disease ridden Cosmo.
4. Smaller crowd
5. Seems like the same people show up all the time
6. Dog owners at this park seem to be more educated about dogs and appear to be more responsible.
7. Easier to get to know other dog owners based on 4,5, and 6 above.
The only downfall is that it is closed on Thursday nights for maintenance.

Layla (my puppy) and I love this place! I call it ‘puppy paradise’. It has no thrills or extras, just a large running area and pretty darn good people. I take Little Miss Layla there about 5 times a week and she loves it. The other people that frequent this particular dog park are loving dog owners and it makes us both feel safe going here. Bring your little (or large) furry friend here you won’t be disappointed.

Nice though no frills. Grass is in good shape.

My puppy Charlie is only 6 months old and hasn’t had much socializing but this place was perfect. As soon as we got to the park we noticed that their were poop bags located at the front. On this visit they were empty however it looked as if someone left some grocery bags as a substitute. Also, there is a water fountian for the dogs located on the ground. Another great thing about this place was the fact that there is an area for timid dogs. I wasn’t sure it was going to be a problem letting Charlie off his leash. The park is very large with trees and lots of running room. It is all fenced it so you don’t have to worry about them wandering too far. I will definitely be taking him back!

Took our dog to the park for the first time. This park is well maintained and clean, There are water fountains for the dog and owner, as well as bags to clean up after your pooch. We went on a Friday afternoon and had the place almost to ourselves. There is a place for timid dogs. don’t go on Thursdays as it is closed for maint. A+

If your dog needs space and you like to walk or do laps with your fuzzy buddy, THIS IS THE PLACE. It’s a nice large basin with trees, lighting and a timid dog area. You can find pretty much the same group of people every evening or morning. Friendly too.
The only bad part is the only water is located by the door, so if your walking on the other side of the park, you should bring a cooler.
This park is great for runners and dogs that love to play fetch.
It’s closed every thursday.

This 3+ acre bark park features park benches and water fountains for both people and dogs. A dispenser for doggie poop bags is at the entrance to the facility.
One interesting item: they separate two areas for timid and rowdier dogs, as opposed to the typical large vs. small dogs division.
But don’t visit on Thursdays as the park is closed for maintenance
