Cosmo Dog Park Arizona

Cosmo Dog Park is a special oasis that has captured and celebrated a unique bond between dogs and humans. Every aspect of the story centered around our most famous K9, a local hero named Cosmo who was our first police dog.

The park is not only named Cosmo, but it is also inspired by it, our K9 team, and the kinship we have in Gilbert with our dog of all shapes and sizes. Cosmo's story of love and dedication is repeated daily in every household with a dog in the family. Every child who visits the park learns from his presence throughout the park, and a plaque in his honor, an important lesson of courage and loyalty to help them develop a strong character.

As you walk down the main road to an active dog area, a brick monument is created that acts as a special place for residents who have lost furry family members to reflect. About 1,400 bricks were originally installed. Purchased as outpourings of citizens expressing messages of love and memories for their dogs - passing dogs, people inhabited by the inhabitants, and those who continue to brighten our lives.

Bricks are a real example of the unbreakable bond that arises in the park, because humans and dogs are mixed - competing and playing - in a safe and free atmosphere. The park is not only unique to dog parks where the entire area of ​​17 hectares is centered around dogs - not just one from community parks. But, it's also one of the few parks in the country that pedal a beach dog. Beach dogs are very popular and have a dock so dogs can jump into the water. It offers a great opportunity for dogs and families to be active, and socialize.

Wherever you go to the park, you see a dog celebration. In fact, the inhabitants who watched the park built in 2006 were so fascinated that many were seen vigorously peaking in the face - and over 5,000 people came to bring their dogs to the opening ceremony. Even so, residents are often seen waiting for anticipation to open the park so they can start their day by walking around the obstacles with their dogs. This park is already one of our two most popular parks in the City and is visited by Gilbert residents more than 600,000 times a year. It also attracts tourists from out of town and even its area. City staff has received many calls from other agencies across the country, seeking guidance in building a dog park that can resonate with the spirit of the dog that has bound us as a community together.

The entire design of this park is inspired by the free-spirited and loyal character of seals: the lights are decorated with cake decorations and brightly colored lights and reminiscent of dog toys, and that use sunlight to reflect the silhouette of foot prints surrounded by red. , green and blue on how to walk. Paw prints are seen everywhere: They walk along the steps of the amphitheater, are the shapes of our stuff, and they cross the lake, letting the children jump from foot to foot as a fun and healthy activity.

In addition to playing and exercising, residents also train their dogs in the park, using the same equipment as our K9 team. And the park was built with the human mind as well, offering ramadas for picnics and community activities, a loft with unique and safe rock climbing toys, basketball fields requested by residents, and walkways that allow leisurely strolls along the slopes leading to the lake and beach dogs. All facilities are facing each other and connected together to enable the whole family to enjoy the dog park together.
That's what makes this park so successful: Its ability to attract our community together uses our connection power to our dog. This important achievement, to recognize and support our neighbors and society, helps make our society safer and healthier.
