National Dog Day is August 26th, and what better way to celebrate than with a special dog walk. Las Vegas is fortunate to have so many options you and your dog will love. Our real estate agents have found some of the best, most unique spots for you and your furry friend to celebrate National Dog Day.

1. Barkin' Basin Dog Park – 7341 W. Alexander Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 89129
   Dog parks allow your pal to roam off-leash and to socialize with other dogs. At Barkin' Basin Dog Park, you can relax in the shaded seating area while your pooch romps around in one of the enclosed areas (one for big dogs and another for small ones). When either of you needs water, the park has fountains for both of you. The park is open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

2. Exploration Peak Park – 9275 S. Buffalo Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada 89178
   Hiking is a good way to break up the monotony of the neighborhood walk. You both get a little extra cardio, fresh air, and some cool sights (and smells).

This park is open 5 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

3. Heritage Bark Park – 350 E. Racetrack Road, Henderson, NV 89015

There are restrooms and drinking fountains for people and dogs. The Bark Park is open 6 a.m. to midnight.
