Carole Wheeler Dog Park

The pawtastic Carole Wheeler Dog Park in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico is a pupular dog playground that earns high marks from visitors for its pristine cleanliness and well-maintained grounds. Named for its visionary founder, Carole Wheeler, this dedicated dog facility offers three fully fenced areas where dogs can enjoy off-leash play, socialization, and just plain fun. 

You can find this puppy paradise at the corner of N. Broadway Street (also called N. Date Street) and Main Avenue, in the block between East Riverside Drive and South Riverside Drive. The park is in the block that is across South Cedar Street from the Ralph Edwards Park. Be careful, as many sites list incorrect addresses for this dog park.

One of the fenced-in enclosures has been designated for use by dogs who are small. Another play space is for larger or more exuberant dogs to enjoy, while a third space is set aside for those shy, elderly, or just slower pups where a gentler play style reigns. All three spaces are off leash zones, so your pup can run free with the pack! When not housed within the safety of the fenced play zones, be sure your pup remains on a lead. 

The Carole Wheeler Dog Park is a public play facility that is free to visit, just be sure your doggo has a  proof of a current rabies vaccination, and a city dog license. While the fenced areas are rather small, they still provide ample ground for a rousing game of fetch or chase. The park offers pup owners stunning views of the nearby Turtleback Mountain range and the Rio Grande River. Amenities are few here, but clean-up bags are available. Bring water and a bowl for your thirsty pup.
