Dobbins Lookout & Holbert Trail at South Mountain Park

You and your dog can explore over 51 miles of primary trails at South Mountain Park and Preserve. Are you not a hiker? Take the Summit Road to Dobbins Lookout or Gila Lookout for a view of the Gila River Valley. Once a month, South Mountain Park hosts Silent Sunday, a day when the park's main access roads are closed to motorized vehicles and only non-motorized traffic is permitted. All hiking trails in Phoenix are subject to leash rules, and pets must be leashed at all times.

Take Petzooie to Mormon Trailhead in Phoenix, Arizona, for a somewhat strenuous trek. This path is a five-mile circle with a 1,000-foot elevation increase that offers year-round vistas of the desert. Take in the wildflowers and local wildlife along the trail, or simply walk for exercise. Try one of the paths that connect to this one and explore the region if you want a longer hike. There is plenty of parking near the trailhead. Make sure to carry lots of water for both yourself and Petzooie.

Petzooie is welcome to visit The Farm at South Mountain. The lovely surroundings are ideal for a dog walk around the gardens, cafés, and markets. The Morning Glory Café and The Farm Kitchen are two dog-friendly restaurants on the farm.

At the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area, leashed dogs are welcome to accompany their owners as long as they stay on the paved trails. Rio Salado is a habitat restoration project in the Rio Grande Valley. Snap in the sights of the river channel, ponds, rocks, flowers, and wildlife, but just take photos. Pets must be kept on a leash at all times when in the habitat restoration area, according to Phoenix leash laws.

Bring Petzooie to Esteban Park's Petsmart Dog Park for some fun. He has plenty of space to play and make new pals. For safety, the park is fully enclosed and has two gates at the entry.

At Chase Field, you and Petzooie can watch baseball games together in luxury! Ticket packages for the Dog Days of Summer, presented by PetSmart Charities, start at $50 and feature a semi-private space with all the essentials for four people and one dog. All-You-Can-Eat hot dogs, soda, water, popcorn, peanuts, and chips are available at each table. The PetSmart Charities Park, located directly behind Banner Health Centered Field, is an outdoor and indoor (air conditioned) dog park where dogs may run about and play even in the heat of summer.The outdoor park will have a baseball motif, complete with a baseball diamond and a grassy outfield, ideal for dogs to explore, play ball with other dogs, and discover their ideal "potty place." For some games, there may be a limited supply.
