About the Park
Fully fenced for off-leash use, Spike's Desert Dog Park gives dogs an enclosed run in Needles, out on California's eastern edge near the Arizona border. The secure perimeter lets owners take the leash off knowing the boundary keeps their dog contained. Visiting is free, as it operates as a public park. Needles sits in the Mojave Desert along the Colorado River and is one of the hottest towns in the country in summer, so early-morning visits and plenty of water are strongly advised. Surface and posted hours are not confirmed in our records, so check the gate and any signage when you arrive.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Spike's Desert Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Best of all, Spike's Desert Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
