Huge open area off-leash park with nearby walking trail. Good mix of visiting pups with overall good manners and decent pet guardians with them to hold a conversation with. Could use a bit more shade, but that is improving since the park opened! Very neat and well maintained.
Great park with 3-4 different (huge) areas which make it easy to choose which will best suit your dog. Plenty of benches and there is a shade structure as well. Good hose and water system at the entrance/exit area, makes post-play cleanup easier. It is adjacent to a walking trail where you can take your pooch for additional exercise if you like. As with ANY dog park, you need to watch your dog and be aware - some dogs just dont get along and you may need to intervene to ensure the safety of your pet and others. When in doubt, just move to another section - there are plenty of options!
I used to love going here, but after today I doubt Ill go back. There are some people here who have no responsibility as owners and have little respect for others and their dogs. (I use the big dogs side for some context). My dog is very very sweet shes super friendly and loves people and other dogs, so Ill just find another park.
Frequent visitors can not leave other visitors alone. Very nosy. Some people like myself like to visit exclusively for their dog(s) to have fun. Do not need poop patrol on deck. Overly aggressive visitors say they are friendly, but not the case...they are busybodies....please leave people alone and allow dogs to play and please have a better handle on your dogs who play to aggressively.
Thankful for the dog park but needs a lot of updating. I use the small dog side. Has only one table under a shade, two metal benches in the burning sun. Very small, not everyone cleans up after their dog. Cant leave balls, toys or water bowls for everyones use, the maintenance guys throw them away every time. Kind of boring. Needs more shade, could use a splash pad for dogs in this Texas heat!
I was not impressed of the current conditions of the park. I went on a Saturday afternoon in the small dogs pen. There was dog feces EVERYWHERE!! It was difficult getting around without stepping on dry feces. More people need to take responsibilty to clean after their pet(s). I most likely wont be back.
Park is falling apart and the city has no plans to take care of it! The park is full of holes, broken equipment and people who place bags all along the fence which get blown off and litter the place up. Since the removal of playground equipment in front of the small park there has been a constant muddy mess which the city has not cleaned up. You will need to hold on tight to your dogs to avoid them running into he awesome muddy hole...
I went there for the first time today and the experience cost me almost $150. My dog and I have been to several dog parks, and this is the first time she has torn skin off of ALL 4 of her pads on her paws..... When we left I thought she was just tired, then I noticed she was limping, so I checked her feet. She is missing dime sized pieces of skin on each paw..... I feel like a jerk for picking this park. She did have fun, but we wont be going back. This one doesnt have a dog fountain inside the gate btw, only in the entrance.
First time here and it was overall terrible I ended up having to leave after five minutes because two women were encouraging their three big dogs to fight in the middle of the park, and as a result one of my dogs was targeted and aggressively chased by a black and white collie mix with the dog going for her throat and baring its teeth at her. Will think twice about ever coming here again if that type of aggression is allowed and encouraged by the owners
DO NOT GO TO THIS PARK; MY DOG ALMOST DIED HERE BECAUSE OF LACK OF REGULATION.I have a very calm and sweet dog. He never tries to bite anyone, and he doesnt even like to play really. He just sits near your feet and likes to walk with you. However, due to their lack of restrictions on the dogs allowed into this park, an older man with his pit bull just waltzed on in. The man let his dog off the leash and the dog immediately went straight to my dogs throat. My dog didnt provoke him or even near him. Luckily, my dog left with ONLY a concussion, but PLEASE do not risk bringing your poor little furry family to this park. Id hate to imagine any other dogs being injured or worse due to this parks lack of rules and regulation.
I love going there and meeting new people as well as the dogs playing in just having a good time... but there was more mess out there then anything so I walked around and picked it up as much as, I could and needs to be tended to more often ..I think if you put more tennis balls and stuff for the animals to play with.. that it would be a better Park I now that they have this at Bear Creek and I think there needs to be more shaded areas as well getting ready for the spring and summer season is very hot here in Texas .
I have a 8mo puppy gsd female and a eskipoo that are un separable he’s a male small dog A lady with a pit mix brought her dog that was in heat obviously my dog kept trying to get on her and I kept following him to make sure he wouldn’t get back on lady who owned the pit mix wasn’t use to other dogs being around said she was going to kick my furr baby because he’s barking it’s a dog park that’s what they do and all the other dogs we’re going after her dog as well because she was in heat and I come here often so I know most of the regulars it broke my heart having her threating to kick my furrbaby she was cussing and starting bulls@*% all my babies are up to date mostly kept inside unless we go on a walk or dog park love this place they love it there to but to have someone threaten your baby is not cool and that’s a felony animal cruelty other than that every one is cool good conversation and friendly dogs will be dogs if you can’t handle them playing would recommend the small dog park so your dog will be safe or come when no one is here

2022-06-18I love this park. It has two sections, small dogs and large dogs. My pup had a blast, so did I. Update 2022: After exploring other dog parks, this one is still the best...

2022-06-08Needs more shade for both humans and dogs, lots of room to run, water and poop bags provided. Nice separate spaces for small and large dogs. Can get muddy on rainy days.

2022-06-19It is a nice place to take your dog or dogs to play the park also has a big field next to the big and small play area for your dogs to play in so you can walk your dogs and also a bike trail that is nice.It would be more convenient if they had more drinking fountains your dogs can drink from.

2020-05-31Hopefully the park opens up soon if it hasnt already. I visited a couple weeks back to help my friends pup socialize since she had been fostered after getting abused and it was fun seeing people walk the trails with their fur babies and letting ours run around when no one was passing by. Cant wait to go back after things calm down.

2021-03-21This place is a lot of fun. I have been twice and the people have all been very nice and friendly. The dogs have a great time running around and playing. The park is pretty clean. Appears people do well at picking up after their pets. I gave 4 stars not 5 just because I feel there could be more done with it. It is just very basic, which is ok. All in all, I had a great time, my pup had a great time, and we will be back.
