In Boulder, Colorado, where the dogs are as active and adventurous as their humans, there’s one pup who’s making a name for himself at local parks—Squirt, a striking black-and-white dog with a bold face and even bolder personality.

With his sleek white coat accented by a distinctive black patch over part of his face, Squirt is hard to miss. He’s a social pro and a total natural when it comes to making friends and leading the pack at his favorite park. Whether he’s chasing a ball, trotting with his crew, or soaking up the sun on the grass, Squirt is a true Boulder dog through and through.

Where Squirt Plays: Boulder’s Top Dog Parks

Squirt’s go-to spots include some of Boulder’s best-known parks, designed for off-leash fun and four-legged freedom. Boulder’s dog parks are more than fenced-in fields—they’re social hubs for dogs and their people.

Here are some of Squirt’s favorite hangouts:

• Foothills Community Dog Park – Spacious and scenic, this park offers epic views of the Flatirons and plenty of space for fast runners and fetch fanatics. It’s one of the most popular in town and a great spot to meet new furry friends.

• East Boulder Dog Park – Complete with separate areas for small and large dogs, plus a pond to splash in during the summer. Squirt’s fans know he’s no stranger to a good dip when the sun’s out.
