Dog walking in Litchfield Park

Arrowhead Phase III

A half-hour drive from Litchfield Park is the city of Glendale, Arizona with a population of nearly 250,000. Northern Glendale is home to the community of Arrowhead Ranch Phase III, and it's one of the most outdoorsy parts of the entire state. Arrowhead Ranch Phase III is set up well for picnicking, hiking, golfing, swimming, and of course, dog walking! The Foothills Dog Park is made up of four sections: two for small dogs and two for big dogs, and each of these areas is regularly rotated to keep everything green and well-maintained. This park has seating, shade, and even some agility equipment!

Thomas Place

Driving 22 miles east of Litchfield Park gets you to another great Arizona dog park called the Steele Indian School Dog Park in Phoenix. This large park has a one-acre section for large dogs and a 0.63-acre space for small dogs, chilled drinking water, doggy waste cleanup supplies, and solar powered lights. Sometimes after heavy rainfall, the park will be closed to allow the turf to dry, but you can contact the park ahead of time to find out if it's open. This park has many great features (include paw-shaped paths!) that both you and your pup are sure to love.

North 83rd Avenue

Just 20 minutes northeast of Litchfield Park is Peoria, Arizona and one of the city's five dog-friendly outdoor areas known as the Pioneer Park Dog Park. This large, fenced-in, off-leash park is part of a larger park and recreational area and has separate sections for doggos of different sizes. It's also well-lit, and there's plenty of seating, space, and shade available as well. The dog park also has a pet drinking fountain where Fido can hydrate after playing in the heat. Visitors note how friendly the people and dogs who frequent this park are, as well as how well-maintained it is.

Palm Meadows

Palm Meadows is a lovely residential neighborhood in Avondale, Arizona and it's only a ten-minute drive from Litchfield! There's a dog park in this area known as the Avondale Friendship Dog Park which is a great place to let your dog play off-leash. This park is part of a large park that has sports fields, lots of walking trails, and even beautiful Japanese gardens. The park is spacious, and there is also some shade and seating to keep guests cool and comfortable during their visits. You're welcome to visit other areas of the park with your dog, but unless you're within the dog park boundaries, your pet must be on a leash.

Encanto

Encanto is a popular neighborhood in Phoenix that includes the midtown and uptown districts. This densely populated area is the place to be in Phoenix, and that's true for dogs, too! Encanto is only a 20-minute drive from Litchfield Park, and it's where you'll find the Hance Dog Park which will not disappoint. Hance Dog Park was Phoenix's first dog park, and it remains one of the favorites as well. There are separate sections for dogs of different sizes, chilled drinking water fountains with built-in bowls for dogs, decorative fencing, and plenty of shade and seating at this great neighborhood park.
