Nuckolls Ave Pueblo, CO
west end of the park
Hours: 6am-10pm
Managed By: City of Pueblo
The City Bark in Pueblo is 2.5 fenced acres with drinking water, benches and a tree.

Below is a list (which is by no means complete) but it’s a place to start. If you know of a fantastic dog park that isn’t listed please feel free to contact us and let us know your favorite and why!
