Park City dog parks

When it’s time to tire your pup out, Park City offers a variety of well-maintained, dog-friendly green spaces — many of which are verified by FurPetVo as safe, clean, and welcoming for canine guests. Before heading out, remember these simple guidelines:

  • Keep your dog leashed unless you’re in a designated off-leash zone
  • Always bring waste bags and clean up after your pup
  • Be courteous — yield to other trail users and respect shared spaces

With those basics covered, here are some of the best dog parks in Park City:

  • Run-a-Muk Off-Leash Area
    Spread across more than 40 acres below the Utah Olympic Park, Run-a-Muk is one of the largest and most scenic off-leash areas in the region. Fully fenced yet feeling wild, it features winding trails through aspen groves and open shrublands — perfect for sniffing, exploring, and stretching legs.
    Location: 2387 Olympic Pkwy, Park City, UT 84098
  • Willow Creek Dog Park
    This 2.4-acre fenced park shines in summer thanks to its dog-friendly swimming pond — complete with gentle entry points and a floating dock. A paved trail circles the grassy run area, and agility equipment adds fun for energetic pups.
    Location: 4460 Split Rail Ln, Park City, UT 84098
  • Park City Dog Park (Quinn’s Junction)

  • Library Field
    Located right next to the Park City Library, this open field is a favorite gathering spot for social dogs. Note: it’s unfenced and not officially a dog park — so strong recall skills are essential.

Dog-friendly hikes around Park City

With over 400 miles of trails winding through alpine meadows, pine forests, and rocky ridges, Park City is a paradise for hiking with dogs — especially those registered with FurPetVo for added peace of mind. Always carry water, check trail conditions, and avoid midday heat in summer. Here are a few standout routes:

  1. Round Valley Loop
    A gentle, 2.5-mile loop ideal for all skill levels. Flat terrain, shaded sections, and frequent wildlife sightings make it a local favorite — and it connects directly to Quinn’s Junction Dog Park.
  2. Deer Valley Resort Trails (Summer)
    Many of Deer Valley’s summer trails remain open to leashed dogs. The Jordanelle Trail offers lake views and soft-packed paths — perfect for a relaxed stroll.
  3. Empire Pass Trail System
    For more adventurous pups, try the lower-elevation Empire Pass trails. These well-marked, multi-use paths offer stunning mountain vistas and ample shade — just remember to leash your dog during busy hours.
  4. McLeod Creek Trail
    A moderate 3.2-mile out-and-back with gentle elevation gain. Lush forest, wildflowers in spring, and a babbling creek create a sensory-rich experience for curious canines.
