Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge

Pets are welcome at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. Dogs are permitted on the Palo Verde Trail, the Campground Perimeter Trail, and all other visitor-accessible roadways, including the paved campground sites. Your dog is welcome to accompany you on the Kris Eggle Visitor Center's nature trail, but they must enter through the parking lot, not the visitor center. Keep your dog on a leash no longer than six feet for the length of your visit to the park. The park is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day of the week.

In Maricopa, Copper Sky Park Dog Park welcomes dogs to play off-leash. There is a part for tiny dogs and another for huge dogs in this large dog park. On hot days, each park features water fountains and a few trees to provide shade. While your dog makes new friends and explores the gated area, relax at a picnic table. Every day of the week, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., the park is open.

Sundance Park offers two leash-free zones. One is for huge dogs, while the other is for tiny dogs. There is plenty of grass and water for dogs to drink, as well as some obstacles for dogs of all sizes. Every Wednesday, the Dog Park is closed for repair and reopens to the public at 2 p.m.

Dogs on leashes are welcome to enjoy the park's desert and mountain paths. In 1954, the Maricopa County Park System established the first regional park on these 19,840 acres of desert and mountains. The park has a seasonal wetland or riparian region during our winter and monsoon rains, and is located near the confluence of the Gila and Agua Fria Rivers in the southwest Valley. The majority of the park is still desert, with a topography that resembles that of the earliest settlers and explorers.
