Comments (0) BEST DOG PARK, DOWNTOWN PHOENIX - 2006
Steele Indian School Park

This new downtown dog park, opened in July in the northeastern area of Steele Indian School Park, is gated and divided into sections ? one for larger dogs, and one for smaller dogs under 20 pounds. The park is off-leash, so canines can carouse untethered in an area that covers almost two acres, provided their owners keep an eye on them. The Phoenix Parks and Recreation Board teamed up with city staff to give the dog park turf enhancements, new lighting and benches, water fountains, shaded areas, and "mutt mitts" and bins for waste disposal, at a total cost of around $73,000. The dog park is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, except during large park events.
