We love dogs at Ute Valley Park! For the safety of your furry friend, other visitors, and local wildlife, dogs must be on a leash at all times.

Rules.

Good dog!

Why Leash Rules Matter

[01]

City Ordinance: Colorado Springs Ordinance 6.7.107 requires dogs to be on a leash. Fines range from $50 to $150.

[02]

Courtesy to Others: Not all visitors are comfortable around dogs. Keeping your pup on a leash helps everyone enjoy the trails.

[03]

Wildlife Safety: A leash keeps your dog from chasing or disturbing other pets and the wildlife that call the park home.

[04]

Rattlesnake Risk: Ute Valley Park is home to rattlesnakes. A leash helps keep your dog safe from a dangerous encounter.

Here's Why

Leash Required: There are no off-leash areas in Ute Valley Park. Dogs must be on a leash at all times.

Pick Up After Your Dog: Please bag and dispose of pet waste to keep the trails clean for everyone.

Stay on the Trail: Dogs should stay on designated trails at all times to protect the natural landscape.

Know the Rules: Check out the full park regulations so you and your dog can have a great visit.
