Apr 17, 2024, 4:10 PM | Updated: 8:24 pm

If you have dogs, you may also have a new favorite place in Denver later this summer… Your dogs certainly will!

A massive off-leash dog park complete with boarding, training and grooming services, plus a full bar for pet owners, broke ground in Denver’s River North district today (Apr. 17).

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 this summer.

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. There are also free membership options on Skiptown’s app.

Denver’s Skiptown location will open in late August or September.
