BE SAFE, Ladies! There are men out there in Purser Harker Heights Park following women, taking…read morevideos (with phones & META AI Glasses), and trying to approach women. Asking personal questions like where do you live? Where do you work? Or even a small group standing on the middle of the sidewalk creating a chokepoint to force direct engagement. I know it takes courage and guts to approach a woman but ganging up on a woman making her feel uncomfortable is a, NO! There was a group of white males this summer (2025) peacocking in a family park with women and children, running with their shirts off. It's TX and the summers are brutally, hot but I have never seen men out there like that and approaching women inappropriately with their shirts off. That new sun will burn the skin off your back & chest without proper covering. They definitely were not US Army or military. Additionally, there is also a school aged little white boy on a scooter middle school aged out there with those men & women in the of the middle of the school day out taking photos and following. Seems like some kind of gang or scheme to monitor women & possibly harm or take advantage of women & young girls. Group of men and women posted in vehicles and in the park watching & lurking & following. They stage strategically and use the kid on the scooter as well to track & monitor. Just be careful, just got weirdo vibes out in the park over the last several months. I know the park can be a space to meet people but this gives off creep vibes and predators. I don't want to be driven off from my community park that I love, but I no longer feel safe. Find alternative locations to workout or walk your dog. BE SAFE! Get some bear or pepper spray!

I love that they tried to make a dog park…read more.. But it's just ghetto. The people in Killeen are likely to blame. And up-front, I had a bad experience... but reading the other reviews it seems others did too. First up, it's a bring your own water sort of park, there is a faucet, but it didn't seem to be working when I was there. Even with the "Small" and "Large" sides to the park, people bring poorly trained aggressive dogs and don't really supervise them. I went to play fetch with my dog, and this other dog thought it was OK to try and corner my dog and then attack him just to get the ball. My dog was bleeding after the encounter, but no major damage. But it could have been. The other dog's owner, "Oh sorry, guess my dog plays a bit rough..." but it was a joke to him. He didn't even try and break them up, so there I was jumping into a dog fight... not at all where I wanted to be. Look, as long as you have shitty dog owners, you'll have a shitty dog park. This park isn't safe for dogs. Also... just a lot -- like a lot -- of dog shit that hadn't been picked up. That's on the owners, not the dog park. But it's on the dog park for not banning those owners. If I were the city, I'd just swing by once in a while and start writing tickets for all the un-neutered dogs. Some things you need to make a dog park work... * Water for the dogs. * Owners who actively supervise their dogs. * Some sort of common understanding that people will only use the park if their dog is neutered, and up-to-date on shots. * An enforced dog park ban list for people who have aggressive dogs. * An enforced dog park ban list for people who don't pick up after their dogs.

It is also dog friendly. Pretty much dirt trails, so after rains, it can get muddy, but we are in Texas, so that only happens occasionally. You can get several miles in on the various trails. Others are friendly and willing to point you in the right direction. I've been here a couple of times now and enjoyed both times. I do recommend hiking with someone else in case of emergencies. You never know when you might come across a snake, so be safe!

Several times while I've been there a crew has been going through cleaning up and emptying trash so the place always looks nice.

We went to the small dog area, but our pup could still say hi to big dogs through the fence. There are usually anywhere from zero to 8 dogs in the small dog section and they have all been well-behaved. The owners have been nice except some just plop on the benches and don't pick up after their dogs. We're retired, but after coming home with dog poop on our shoes, we started picking up other dogs' poop when we saw it - hopefully we'll make a dent, because there's a lot.

My name is Charlie Blu. I'm an Australian Shepherd and give 4 paws up plus a stub for a tail…read more That's 5 if you are counting in human years. My dad and mum take me here when we are in town and this is my favorite place to run around. Even though I'm just a pup, the grownup doggies teach me new things like how to play chase, sniff and aimlessly run around. I haven't totally braved the water park just yet, but watching the retrievers jump in and fetch has started to build my interest. I did get in the pool up to my chest and got dirty enough to need a bath, but not fully committed to jump in yet. I think if I play it wisely, I'll milk it for all it's worth and probably will get a few more trips in before I take the plunge. Luckily, the park has multiple wash stations on the way in/out, so my humans can clean me up nicely before our ride home. Not my favorite thing to do, but since it's a doggie dog world, I have to live by their rules. Now that I'm 7 months old and weigh 30 pounds, I can play in the large dog area which is much more fun for me. When I was under 30 pounds, I used the small dog area which is overall a bit smaller in size, and the grass is a bit "ruff", so not as much fun. Also too many yapping pups there for my taste. So if you have the zoomies and are in the area, come by and say hi, or come play with me as I'm looking for new friends all the time. I'll be the black /white pup with the one blue eye, the Australian accent and hanging out next to the pool.
