Most dedicated dog parks in Denver are off-leash areas without playgrounds — great for the dog, less useful if you have younger kids in tow. The parks flagged "Kids + Dogs" above have both a playground and a dog park on the same grounds, making them the strongest family stops when everyone's coming along.
Dogs are welcome on-leash in most Denver parks even without a dedicated off-leash area. When in doubt, the Denver parks map shows all parks and you can combine the dog park filter with other amenity filters.
