Phoenix Dog Parks
Sky Harbor International Airport, Terminal 4Traveling pets have a place to stretch their legs, get a drink of water and even take a restroom break at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. The dog park and pet rest area is located right outside of Sky Harbor's busiest terminal, Terminal 4, west end, baggage claim level. The "Bone Yard" provides a gravel area, shaped like a bone of course, where pet owners can take their companion animals for a restroom break. "Mutt Mitts" are provided for owners to clean up after their pets. The "Bone Yard" also provides two water faucets and buckets for pets that need to re-hydrate. The "Bone Yard" is shaded from the Arizona sun during day (hence no grass) and lighted at night.
Sky Harbor International Airport, Terminal 3
The "Paw Pad" is a fenced area for dogs to stretch their legs after a long flight. It offers water spigots and bowls, paw shaped decorations, “mutt mitts” for cleaning up and, of course, a red fire hydrant. Both pet parks at Sky Harbor are used also by the “working dogs” of the airport such as the TSA explosive detection canines.Steele Indian School Park, 300 E. Indian School Rd
