What People Are Saying

My dogs loved this dog park. I didn't understand why there are two 'tree islands' inside the park but my dogs showed me
This dog park is all sand and gravel. A great spot to throw a ball and have a dog go after it
I’ve been here twice with my dog. The first time it was empty

About Southshore Dog Park

This park offers a spacious area for dogs to enjoy off-leash fun, nestled in the green space of the Southshore neighborhood in Aurora. With two “tree islands,” dogs can engage in playful games of hide and seek, making it a unique spot for those energetic pups. However, the park’s sandy and gravelly surface can be a drawback, especially for owners who prefer their furry friends to stay clean.

While the park is fairly large and well-maintained, several visitors have noted the lack of parking options, which usually involves finding a spot in front of nearby homes. Additionally, there are no water stations for thirsty dogs, and only one bench is available for owners to sit and relax. Because there aren’t dedicated areas for small and large dogs, interactions can vary, with some experiences being more enjoyable than others.

Overall, Southshore Dog Park presents a decent option for giving your dog some off-leash time in a clean environment, though potential visitors should be prepared for the dust and occasional aggressive encounters. It’s a good place to throw a ball or let your pup run around, just keep an eye out for other dogs and bring your own water!
