Dog walking in Missoula

Grizzly Acres

Grizzly Acres is a smaller neighborhood in Missoula and its three parks make it a real treat for residents and their pups! Southside Lions Park is a great park to pack a lunch and have a picnic at one of the many tables, in between fetch sessions with your pooch. A spray park is also nearby and your pup can play in it so long as it is not too busy with children. Washington Park is great for dogs who love a wide open space to run around. Lastly, Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial Park has art to admire, flowers to smell, benches to rest, and trails to explore. For those residents looking for an area where the water flows through, just a few moments north of the neighborhood is Clark Fork River, where your pooch can have a dip!

Lewis and Clark

Lewis and Clark is a centrally located neighborhood, which means that its residents and their dogs are surrounded by parks and water to explore in neighboring communities! For those looking for parks within walking distance from their front door, residents of Lewis and Clark have hit the jackpot. Spartan Park is a large park in the city of Missoula, and those who live in Lewis and Clark get to take the most advantage of it! There is also a smaller park called Elms Park in this neighborhood to explore as well. The neighborhood is located near Bitterroot Branch, where residents and their pups can explore many of the rail-trails in this green space!

University District

Southgate Triangle

You and your pups will be glad to call Southgate Triangle home! On the north side of the neighborhood is McLeod Park, a small yet great park for pups to run around and get their daily exercise in. Towards the south end of the neighborhood is Boyd Park, another great spot to play catch, throw a Frisbee, or simply enjoy the outdoors. Southgate Triangle residents and their dogs benefit from being right next door to Spartan Park as well in their neighboring community of Lewis and Clark.

Miller Creek

With a name like Miller Creek, it’s no wonder this neighborhood is a hit with the residents, especially those who have four-legged friends to consider! With how big this neighborhood is in size, it is only home to one park – Marilyn Park. Marilyn Park is a great spot within the neighborhood to walk too and spend time with your pooch! It is fenced most of the way around, so your dog can run free off leash. Washrooms are on site, as well as benches for when you need a break from chasing your pup! This neighborhood also borders the Bitterroof River, giving pups a place to swim, and is only moments away from Blue Mountain where there are plenty of trails to explore and much adventure to be found.
