Recreation With Dogs

Elk Meadow Park Dog Off-Leash Area | Other Off-Leash Options

Dog On Leash Both dogs and their owners thrive on outings at Open Space Parks. To promote safe, enjoyable experiences, dogs must be on leash. See our Dog Leash Dogma for many reasons why leashes are required everywhere in the Open Space system, with one exception: Elk Meadow Park Dog Off-Leash Area in Evergreen.

Owners are required to pick up and dispose of all dog waste. Complete regulations related to dogs/pets can be found in Open Space Rules, with common rule violations and resulting fines below. Avoid the fines. Model the behavior of owners in this Trail Etiquette With Your Dog video produced by Range TrackerTV in cooperation with Jefferson County Animal Control.
