Jakcass Acres in New River, Ariz., wins the honor of the nation's top dog park in June's issue of Dog Fancy magazine.

"What pushed Jackass Acres K-9 Korral to the top of the list this year are its efforts to be green," said the magazine's editor, Susan Chaney. "The park has solar-powered lights, a security system, and water pumps, as well as decorative metal flowers made from old cars, furniture crafted from fallen timber, and recycled artificial turf. How could we not love a park like that?"

Each year, Dog Fancy has readers submit nominations for America's best dog parks. To be considered, parks must have fencing, double gates and free clean-up bags. Winners are chosen based on a list of criteria including water for dogs and their people, shade, lights, parking availability and accessibility, support organizations and special events.
