| - I have Great Danes, so even at the larger parks it's sometimes hard to find a space really big enough for them to let loose. One of the reasons I actually chose to move into my house is because it's only a block from this park. I LOVE THIS PLACE. Either my wife or I (or both of us depending on schedules) are there with our pup 2 or 3 evenings a week.
This is by far the biggest dog park I've ever seen. It sits on roughly 12 acres and has 6 or 7 separate fenced off areas for the dogs to play. None of them are specifically designated for big or small dogs, but most of the big dogs wind up in the biggest pen (huge) so there is almost always at least one of the smaller pens that has only the more timid or smaller dogs.
Pretty much everyone I've met here is friendly and in the 3 years my dogs have been coming here, I've only seen a handful of really aggressive dogs. Better yet, usually those owners know their dogs are aggressive, and tend to keep them in the less populated smaller pens (the smallest pen here is still bigger than a lot of other dog parks in Vegas) and warn people who try to enter that they might want to choose another area to play in.
Lots of water fountains, benches, and grassy areas in all of the various pens (though the grass is usually pretty dry as there is NO shade at this park) The biggest of the pens is massive, and there are almost always balls and frisbees flying everywhere. Lots of fun. Highly recommended.
And in the biggest area, there is a dirt jogging track surrounding the whole outside area of the pen. I've never walked it, but by the looks, I'd guess it was 1/2 mile or more. Perfect for those who want to get a little exercise in while their dogs are out roughhousing and having a ball.
One cautionary note - While I've never seen this place locked up, they do shut out all of the lights at about 10:30, so I wouldn't suggest this as a great late night park. I'm 6'4" tall and 400 pounds, with a 200 pound Great Dane as my companion, and even I get a little spooked sitting out there alone after all the lights are out. It's pretty creepy. Then again, maybe I've watched too much CSI and Criminal Minds for my own good.
