About Westminster Hills Open Space Dog Park Parking Lot

Situated in the foothills of Westminster, this sprawling 440-acre off-leash dog park is a paradise for adventurous pups and their owners. With a variety of hiking trails and stunning views of Denver and Boulder, you’ll find plenty to explore alongside your furry friend. Be prepared for some serious hiking! Just remember to bring water, as the park has limited amenities, and take note of the non-fenced areas where prairie dog colonies are nearby, tempting your pup to chase.

Many regular visitors love the open space where dogs can romp freely, with a creek that offers a refreshing splashing spot during warmer months. The park’s natural terrain features hills and varied landscapes, perfect for both biking and running alongside your dog. While most dogs seem to thrive here, some owners suggest that leash-aware pups might find the environment a bit overwhelming if not used to running with off-leash dogs.

Accessing the park is easy, with two parking lots available, but be cautious as the smaller lot is a mile away from the main entrance. The camaraderie among dog owners is evident, as many respect the off-leash nature of the park, encouraging others to do the same. If you’re looking for a place where your dog can truly live their best life in a natural setting, this is it.
