If you have dogs, you may also have a new favorite place in Denver starting tomorrow (Oct. 4)… Your dogs certainly will!

A massive off-leash dog park complete with boarding, training and grooming services, plus a full bar for pet owners is set to open in Denver’s River North district.

Described as a “Disney World for dogs,” Skiptown, which opened its flagship in 2020 in Charlotte, North Carolina, will debut its second “oasis for dogs” at 3833 Steele St. in the York Street Yards tomorrow.

Paid memberships, ranging from $40-$300 per month, come with a variety of perks, like extended daycare hours and gift passes for friends and family. Day passes start at $15.

Grand opening celebrations at the Denver facility will be held Oct. 18-20, featuring giveaways, swag, drink specials, food trucks and photo ops for you and your doggies.
