Street up into the Avenues. When the main street turns left, turn right and

- Memory Grove. 300 N. Canyon Road (130 East), Salt
Lake City, UT 84119. 6am - 11pm, 365 days a year. Not far from Salt Lake
City's great, heavy-on-the-granite State Capitol Building, gorgeous Memory
Grove offers dogs and their devotees a chance to let the leash off and hike a
canyon right in town. Not all of the park is leash-free, so pay attention to
posted signs, stick to the trail and keep close to your canine. While there is
no fence along the trail, a stream bubbles along one side (pooches have been
spotted wading). Larger dogs seem to patronize the park more often, but pups
of all persuasions are permitted. If drinking from a stream doesn't appeal to
you, pack water for you and your furry one (sun-block also isn't a bad idea for
those crystal clear SLC afternoons). Pickup bags and trashcans are available
at the end of the trails, and there are benches along the way where you can
rest while your baby romps. (Thank you Alysia Gray Painter)
- Millcreek Canyon. A canyon on Salt Lake's
East side where dogs are permitted on leash on even days and off-leash on odd
days. There are lots of trails, streams, and other dogs. There are also lots
of joggers and bikers on even days so watch out for them. There is also a
small fee to go up the canyon but it is beautiful and definitely worth it. The
dogs love it. Location: 3800 S. east mountains. Directions: Take the I-215
3300 and 3900 south exit and travel north to 3800 S. There is a stoplight
there, turn east and keep going straight up the canyon. (Thank you Shanna
Jensen)

Millrace Park. Taylorsville, UT. It
completely fenced in, lots of parking, lots of room for the dogs to run,
bench for the humans, water fountain for both humans and dogs. Location:
1200 West 5400 South. Directions: Just drive down 5400 South, it's on the
north side of the street. (Thank you Amy North)
- Parley's Gulch. 2700 East Salt Lake City, UT 84121. 8am
- 10pm. When you enter Tanner Park, keep your furry friend restrained and walk
until you reach the bridge. Go to the gully near I-80 and I-215 and only then
can you consider unleashing your pooch (a good idea for first-timers is to
watch where other woofers are liberated). Tanner is not an official dog park,
but many unrestrained mongrels and their humans enjoy the trails around the
extensive grounds. Keep in mind that you may be asked to leash your pooch at
any time, and citations (and fines!) are not out of the question. A fence
separates the usual dog area from the busy freeways that run along the north
side of the park, so don't worry that your hound might up and hitch a ride (or
more realistically, bolt into traffic). Do bring enough water for you and your
dog or you'll both be sipping a stream. Cleanup bags are also a smart item to
have on hand, although regulars do donate bags in bulk to the park. (Thank you Alysia Gray Painter, Chelsea Bagozzi
& Tony McGuire)
- Rotary Glen Park. Off leash dog park with
pond. Location: East of the Hogle
Zoo. It's really muddy and if your dog likes water I'm sure it will jump in

the zoo and its on the same side of the street. You have to pull in through
a gate and follow a dirt road to a dirt parking lot. (Thank you Brittany
Dodd & Jeremy Roberts)
