About This Park
Skiptown breaks the mold of what a dog park can be, combining a 20,000-square-foot outdoor play space with a full bar, coffee shop, and professional dog services. This is the destination for owners who want their dog park visit to double as a social outing. While your dog explores splash pads, tunnels, and play structures, you can enjoy local craft beers or coffee from comfortable seating areas. The 21-plus outdoor bar area lets adults unwind while their pets burn energy. Skiptown requires membership or day passes, making it a more curated experience than public parks.
BEST FOR
Skiptown works best for social owners who want their dog park visit to be an experience rather than just exercise. It's ideal for dogs comfortable in a staffed, structured environment and for owners who appreciate knowing someone is professionally monitoring play. Less suited to dogs who do better with open space and minimal oversight.
Terrain & Layout
Skiptown's 20,000 square feet of outdoor space is purpose-designed for maximum engagement — featuring play structures, tunnels, a splash pad, and open running areas within a single fenced compound. Unlike public parks, the environment is actively managed by staff who can intervene, separate incompatible dogs, and maintain consistent supervision. The outdoor bar area for adults 21+ is positioned with sightlines into the play space, allowing owners to relax without losing track of their dogs. Indoor facilities offer climate-controlled options during extreme weather.

Seasonal Notes
Skiptown's indoor-outdoor format gives it a significant weather advantage over public parks — extreme heat, cold, or rain doesn't cancel the visit, it just shifts activity between spaces. Summer brings the splash pad into active use, a major draw during Denver's hot months. Weekday mornings offer the quietest atmosphere and most space per dog. Operational hours vary seasonally, so checking the website before visiting is recommended.
Pro Tip
Membership or day passes required. Perfect for a social outing - grab a drink while your pup makes friends! 21+ in the outdoor bar area.
