Rover Run Dog Park, Greeley, CO

This is a nice, grassy park with a picnic table, a sheltered bench seat, and another bench seat in a corner. There are several containers for bags; I'm not sure how they are filled; I think it would be nice to bring used grocery bags to put in them. It is a nice size, about 1 acre, I think. Big enough that the average person could not throw a ball all the way across it.

The entrance is secure. You enter in one gate into a small enclosure then through another gate into the park. This is a good idea!

The people and dogs I met there were nice, though one squabble broke out between two intact males. The park got quite crowded about when you'd expect, after people got off work.

Rules are posted. They are about what you'd expect: clean up after your dog; dogs must be under the handler's control; handler must have a leash; bring your own water; and some others. (All are things that responsible handlers would do anyway.) Puppies under 4 months are not allowed.

My only disappointment with the park is the fence. It is a 3-rail pole fence with sheep fence attached. The squares of the sheep fence are big enough for small dogs to get through, and larger dogs could get their heads through. It's not very high. I think it's about 3 or 4 feet - low enough for larger dogs to jump with ease.
