Skiptown Dog Park & Bar

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.

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.
