There are metal benches for humans to sit on. I have two 6-month old German Shepherd Dogs that need socialization. I've now taken them to this park several times. I like that there are two large sections, one for small dogs and the other for large dogs. Mature trees and a hard-top canopy provide for shade. My dogs are all fully vaccinated; I only hope the other dogs visiting are, too. I've been there in the morning and also early evening. This dog park is part of Tompkins Park, where a half-mile paved path finishes my visit with the dogs as they get used to the sights and sounds and smells of other people, kids and dogs of all breeds. The fenced-in area is visible from Buffalo Soldier Boulevard, the main thruway on the town's west side. The water fountains inside the dog park have been turned off during this covid pandemic, and visitors are bringing their own water jugs and leaving left-over water behind. There are also poop bags that I wish more dog owners would use, as my one complaint is that not all dog owners make use of this convenience. Also, recently some dogs have been digging holes that the owners leave exposed for people to trip over. While lights come on at night along the paved fitness path, the dogpark itself remains dark. It's therefore recommended to only visit during daylight hours. The park's parking lot is on the opposite end of this park, but people can also park in the cul-de-sac on the park's north end , off S Savanna Drive.

Weddings and Senior pics are also popular. Day use is now $8. There is a restroom and several picnic areas by the pond to sit back and relax. To avoid the fee, park off Ramsey Canyon Road and walk the 0.8 mile to the ranch house. My hiking group does weekly loop hikes in Brown Canyon. The ranch house is open during daylight. The pond is a habitat for the endangered Chiricahua Leopard Frog. There are several trails that start at the ranch house. The Brown Canyon trail is a four-mile trail that one can take into Ramsey Canyon. The Garden Connector trail, which begins off the Buffalo Soldier Trail and SR92, ends here. The Brown Canyon Loop trail also starts here, although it's not marked. Just make sure you turn left at the horse trough two miles into the hike. This is a 4.6-mile loop. Just watch out for speeding mountain bikers. There is also a 1.5-mile Nature Trail loop with a duck pond. Dogs are allowed on these trails, but must be leashed. This place can get busy on the weekends. Watch out for rattlesnakes, javelina, coyote and deer.

And while this place is a national monument, one thing our government could do instead of all the other nonsense going on is to upgrade this place to a national park. We stopped in here after spending time at Kartchner Caverns and today the scenic drive beyond the campground was closed because of the rain and snow that came down steadily last night. And because of this and due to the amount of time we had, we did a shorter walk along the Silver Spur Meadow. This trail is very easy, well shaded and what a beautiful place to view birds! I think may have seen 15 or more species in just the short walk we did here today. I was also here about 2 years ago and did the Echo Canyon Trail to the Grotto and that was such a lovely easy hike with all sorts of cool rock formations and I enjoyed climbing around. Id like to come back and do a more strenuous hike and when I get a chance, will come back and do the Heart of the Rocks trail! Visitor center is very cool with a really nice gift shop, museum, bathrooms and very informative rangers. Parking lot can be a bit tight but more parking available down the road. I was able to get a fun stuffed sandhill crane! I could spend a lot more time here and just love this place! Great place to get a dose of nature and love how the air feels at close to 5500 feet!

Hidden gem. Way in…read morethe southeast corner of Arizona, south of Wilcox, we dropped in to the secluded national monument, a mountain island, in a desert ocean. We dropped by the visitor center and the kids were able to work with NP Volunteer Eric V., who was amazing. Eric was enthusiastic, and such a motivator with the kiddos. He swore in the Ruiz kids with their Chiricahua Junior Ranger badges, and helped us with a late afternoon idea to get the most out of the park. We drove up to Massai Point and enjoyed the drive up looking at roadside views of rock formations, like Sea Captain and Organ Pipes. When we got to the top, the kids were excited about the leftover snow...yes, snow. We got out to walk around the top of Massai Point and the Nature Trail. The top of Massai allows for a good panoramic view of the park and it's peaks. After a good 20minutes of awesome views we dropped into Echo Valley to see some of the rock formations up close. It's crazy how through millions of years of erosion left the hillsides full of balanced rocks, mushroom rock formations, and trails to see all of them up close. Literally, a playground of rocks in the mountains. Being in the mountains even at this elevation is different than the surrounding flats below. Temperature is different, flora, and fauna...all distinct up in the Chiricahua. Another cool thing is that the monument is the 104th dark skies destination. When it's dark, you can see stars for days. Stars the limit here. Looking forward to the next visit...and maybe an overnight stay.

The parks got ample space, shade, trees, trash bins, pooper scoopers, and 2 water fountains. I'd recommend bringing your own water as my dog has gotten sick from drinking the fountain water twice now. Please clean up after your pet, keep an eye on them, and just be a responsible pet parent. The dog park isn't a daycare for your animal to just do as they please and not be corrected. I've seen a few dogs get into fights because 1 owner wasn't being responsible.

There are water fountains for humans and dogs on both sides and rakes and shovels to use as pooper scoopers. Pretty much everyone that goes there are friendly and attentive of their dogs. The parks are poop free most of the time, but sometimes there is a missed pile. The fencing is pretty secure, but very small dogs can get under the fence between the big and small dog areas. Just keep an eye on your wee pups. Parking is very close and there are plenty of spaces. There is also a playground nearby if you have children old enough to play on their own.
