Confirmed from Show Low City Dog 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.
Dog-friendly, fenced-in recreation area featuring dirt and wood chip surfaces alongside a fenced-off zone for timid dogs.

This is a beautiful dog park with lots of trees and shade, grass and bushes, and even a walkway around the outside edge of the entire dog park. Our dogs had a blast here and got a lot of running done. There’s also a separate area for timid dogs.
First time here and a must for dogs! Shade and benches! Great sniffing to be had!
We discovered the Show Low City dog park while we were up there on a little trip! It is a wonderful place... it's like walking through a wooded park and there's so much space! The city has outdone themselves in providing it's citizens such a lovely place to enjoy with their pups!
The park was on the smaller size but made up for with amenities. There is a lot of shade and the landscape made it feel like the dogs were actually on a hike up in the mountains. There was water and doggie stations but they were completely empty. Make sure to bring your own bags.
