Rough and Ready Dog Park - Longmont

Rough and Ready Dog Park is a designated off-leash dog play space in Longmont, Colorado, with much to offer Fido and his family. This fully fenced enclosure allows for off-leash play on a surface of gravel in a reddish hue. Some dogs owners note that the color of the gravel has led to staining in their dog's coat which is resistant to easy removal.

This family-friendly park offers playground equipment for younger children to enjoy and 9 picnic benches to allow for a relaxing snack or light lunch while observing Fido at play. Also available on site are public bathroom facilities and a plentiful supply of fresh water to help keep Fido properly hydrated during his play time at the park. Entrance to this canine play haven is accessible to the public free of charge. Though no official regulations govern the use of the park space, it is advisable for your dog to be current on all vaccinations and to bear the appropriate required state license tag. 

Visitors to the Rough and Ready Dog Park love its pristine cleanliness and attention to detail. However, many claim the space is too small to allow for a good off-leash run for larger dogs. Other owners have asserted that the gates to the fencing are not one hundred percent secure. For this reason, owners of dogs with a penchant for escaping are best to keep their dogs on a lead during playtime in the dog run. 

While the enclosure at Rough and Ready Dog Park permits off-leash play, dogs must remain on a leash while coming to and from the play space as well as in all other areas of the park. Dogs enjoying off-lead play time are to be under direct supervision at all times, and their owners are required to carry a lead with them in case of an emergency.

It is unknown if complimentary poop bags are available on the premises. However, it is required by municipal legislation that all dog owners properly pick up all canine waste materials and dispose of them in the provided on-site trash receptacles. For some off-leash play for Fido in a remote, relaxing setting, plan a trip to Rough and Ready Dog Park!
