Memory Grove Park, Salt Lake City, Utah

On our way up to Wyoming, we spent a night in Salt Lake City. We stayed at the Hotel Monaco, which has got to be the fanciest hotel chain that will cheerfully accommodate dogs of any size. When we checked in, Bailey's name was on a dog-shaped chalk board in the lobby, along with the other canine guests. Bailey received a welcome note from the VP of Pet Relations (a little dog named Stevie Nicks) and treats, plus bowls and a dog bed to use in the room. It was fun to be able to walk him through the fancy lobby!

The staff pointed us toward Memory Grove Park, which is right in downtown SLC, about 1/2 mile from Temple Square. The park starts off with a beautiful water and grass area, which is a "leash" area:

Past that are hiking trails along a stream, which is the off leash area. It was great to have an off leash area so close to downtown. The area isn't fenced in, but it runs through a canyon so there's a natural border and it's away from auto traffic:

Here's Bailey walking with Tim - even off leash he likes to stay close to his people:

Bailey loves to play in the water:

We were there too last year!! Those are very nice pictures. It is such a pretty park. It was dusk when we went. I don't think I got any good pictures of it but maggie loved romping in that creek.

I thought SLC was pretty great for dogs -- lots of dogparks in the city plus a great hike just outside of the city (maybe 20 minutes away). I stayed in a Hotel Monaco in San Francisco -- it is great! So luxurious and yet pet friendly.

Your vacation is off to a great start!!
How cool! Bailey's a lucky boy. :D

I love getting these "tips" about different areas of the country that are dog friendly. If I ever get the chance to go cross country with the wigglebums, I'll know just where to stop. 8)
That looks like a real nice park. :D
Very scenic. I bet you had fun there. I know Chewie would have loved the creek too!
It's great that you have found such a lovely place and I hope someday that Dutch will be as well behaved as Bailey :D
Looks like fun. I love the description of the hotel and what they do for the dogs. It sounds very sweet!
And Bailey is still the tallest OES around :lol:
Memory Park is absolutely one of the best spots in town. A must stop when Sheeping through SLC.
Gald you having a good time!
Just beautiful. Stevie Nicks how hilarious. Bailey is a sweetie staying close to his people. I just want to give him a big hug.
