Confirmed from Jensen Trailside Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Paved-trail, picnic and play areas featuring a dog park, basketball court and pavilion.
What runners say about Jensen Trailside Park
“Well kept, multiple fenced areas for dogs of all sizes and dispositions.”
“Need more shade trees planted in center sections all 3 areas”
We took our dog to the dog park there. It was a great place for him to run and play with other dogs. It's sad that everyone don't pick up after there dogs though. Have to watch your step for sure. Lots of doggy poop laying around.
Pet Friendly Mesquite NEVADA public park. 2 fenced areas for large and small dogs. Benches and a covered Pavilion for shade. Fun for the dogs and people, too. And now the city is expanding it - more room for the big guys to run.
Beautiful place to take a walk they do need to replant the grass there there's a lot of mud when it gets wet but other than that it is a good place to bring your dog.
Lots of park choices for all sized dogs. A bug run for playing fetch sections for big and small to separate. Lots of water access and shade.
