Nah, this ain't it. My deep gratitude to the city for curating experiences with dog owners which includes thoughtfully creating a separation between large and small dogs. This is a fairly accessible dog park, and with plentiful dedicated parking, which is really appreciated. Unfortunately, the park smells quite bad (probably because it is well trafficked), but there are also places (at least on the small side) where owners have not picked up after their pups, which adds to the sense the place is not sanitary. The pond is a nice touch, but as above, I worried about the cleanliness of the water. I am so glad the city curates spaces like this, but there are much nicer spaces in the city to take your pup! read more

UNSAFE!!! Someone attempted to break into my vehicle on last Saturday evening. Thank God regulars I spoke with earlier during our visit saw the person and they pulled off before being able to fully break my window. To make matters worse, one of the other regulars confirmed that it happens often which was evident by the mounds of glass is random parts of the parking lot. Called the cops. No one came after 30+ minutes. They know and they don't care. Never again!!!! I am new to Houston and this was my biggest fear. Protect yourselves! read more

Danny Jackson Dog Park - Attempted break in - Dog Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Ever since we got a dog, we've been on the hunt for fun and unique dog parks. We have found one of the best here! Tucked just off of westpark Dr between 59/610. Small and big dog sections. Long straightaway style park for you pups to run free. 2 small man made lakes for them to swim in. Lots of fake fire hydrants to pee on. Even a washing station if they get too dirty out there. Whether you just want to relax in the shade or run away with your dog and other peoples, you can do it all here! Lots of parking as well. Can't think of 1 negative thing to say except I wish I knew about this place sooner! read more

While our puppies love to swim and run around this park, we had to stop going cause they got sick from the water. The small dog side tends to stay relatively calm but we have a medium sized dog so when we'd go to the large side, chaos would ALWAYS ensue because of pet owners not watching their dogs... read more

Danny Jackson Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

One of the best separated small and big doggy parks near the city! I take my small dog here all the time, and he is always excited to go. There are water fountains, a little pool, a wash station, and a shaded area for pet parents to sit. There are dogs here almost always, so I don't have to worry if my dog will be lonely. It's a little far from home, but it's definitely worth the visit for your pets! Plenty parking as well. read more

O liked this dog park a lot. It has a pool area for the doggies and the have separates sections for small and big dogs which is is very important to me because my pup is small and gets very intimidated by large dogs. Because of that I can't take her to dog parks that have only one area for all size dogs. Parking if very easy and they have a huge parking lot. You can pull right up to the dog park gates. The park is so big that you can also run the trail if you wanted to or even get a good walking workout while your dog plays. read more

I have no idea who is responsible for this park, but i used to take my dog 8 months now. Lately they closed and reopen it for construction BUT they left half of the park locked which is okay BUT explain to me the filthy most disgusting water in the pool that hasn't been changed over 3 months at least now. I had to take my dog 2 weeks ago as after she swam in there as she had very bad diarrhea and she caught some kind of infection because of it. You guys need to ether do your job and maintain good maintenance or shut the fucking park down. You are risking out pets life read more

This dog park is huge and lots of seating for hoomans to sit and watch their fur babies run and play. There is a designated small dog area and large dog area with the large dog area having a really big water feature for the dogs to run into for cooling off or grabbing a drink. Even my dog who is not a fan of water was enjoying the pond. During our visit there were all types of dogs at the park and they all had pretty good behavior. Owners were being responsible and watching over their dogs to make sure nobody was misbehaving or being a bully to smaller dogs. There is also a dog bath station located outside of the dog park enclosure, and your dog will definitely need a bath after a visit here. Between the running and the clay type soil which turns into a mucky glue, the dogs definitely need a rinse off if not a bath. You will need to bring some shampoo and towels and the water is cold from the faucet (which I think is the only bad part of the park). I still give this place 5 stars for the expansiveness of this place. It's huge! Lots of running room to release the energy and zoomies! read more

Great park albeit pretty messy for the dogs! There are large man-made lakes for the dogs to swim in which are dyed blue--so your pooch may be a different color when he comes out! Overall tons of room for the pups to run and frolic with other dogs. There are bathing stations outside too with large hoses! Just make sure to bring your shampoo! read more

My dog absolutely LOVES this park. Not only is it separated by small dogs and large dogs, but there's ample space to roam around and there's plenty of seating space for the dog moms and dads. There's also a little pond in both the large and small dog park areas for the pups to jump in and cool of or get a little drink! Love this place and come back time and time again! read more

Few months ago my dog got attacked by other dog at Danny Jackson Lee Family park. It was the scariest moment of my life, seeing my dog is chocking and passing out while other dog is chocking my poor pup. Owners were not able to calm down their, while I was trying to save my baby. Stitches, medicine, recovery and after care costed almost $600. We been coming to this park for 3 years, but after that happened I would never take my pup to this park ever again. read more

Does one need to presently be a dog owner to review a dog park? I think not. A person just needs to have visited it and done a good job of observing its vibe and what it has. I will get around to learning who the Danny Jackson that this off-leash dog park is named for is. I happened to be in the area, more captivated by the strobe light atop the 64-story Williams Tower, and saw these canines running around behind this large rectangular chain link fenced area. I investigated further. The park like area inside Danny Jackson Dog Park is nice, clean, and has at least one pond. It has a central path that weaves through it, as well as benches (for bipeds) and areas with trellises and gazebos. At certain points along the central path, the trees go over it, almost forming a canopy. The dogs in here are hilarious. There are all kinds and all sizes of dogs. I didn't see much in the way of fighting because the dogs are too busy having fun and making friends. What is funny is how uninhibited the dogs are - either intensely sniffing for those pheromones or going "number 2" while looking at you right in the eye. However, the funniest moment was when I was in the trellis area near the pond, trying to aim the camera on my phone at the pond, the Williams Tower, or both, and I sensed something large lurking behind me. I turned around and it was a goofy and disarming Great Dane. Its owner told me that he's a curious, harmless beast and routinely approaches people to make their acquaintance. Danny Jackson Dog Park is in a prime location. It is close to the Galleria and the Water Wall, but still far enough away that they could plop down a dog park. It is where the Inner Loop (I-610), I-69 (59), and the Westpark Tollway come together. Knowing how to navigate the ramps around here can be messy. It's easier to just know it's at the corner of the frontage road to I-610 and Westpark Drive. Note that it has a huge Texan sized parking lot (behind it, and accessed from a signaled intersection), as well as a separate park for dogs under 20 lbs. and pod like squares with drains in which to wash your canine. Is this going to be 3 stars for D-O-G or 4 stars for P-A-R-K? Given the view of the Williams Tower, which your canine might be oblivious to, I'd say it's a slam dunk for 4 stars. read more

I was nervous about taking my very excitable girl to the dog park for the first time but this place was perfect. The location is super convenient, right off 610 and near West Park. When I came at about 8pm on Monday night there was about five other dogs there. There's tons of room for the dogs to run and get personal space if they need to and there are separate areas for large and small dogs. There is a water feature and your dog will likely get muddy and wet whether they partake in it or not; much of the ground is just dirt and was very wet even though it hadn't rained recently. Just be prepared with towels and car seat covers because you WILL need them. There are enough benches, trashcans and poop bag stations to make the park comfortable to use, as well as multiple hoses outside to shower the mud off your dog before you go back to the car. I will definitely bring my dog back soon, she had a great time. read more

Great place to take your dog especially if your an out of towner staying at a local hotel not too terribly for away! They have a good sized dog park for both large and small dogs! It has a water fountain for the dogs and even a cool pool for your babies! We definitely recommend this park! read more

Bruno approves. The water feature helps the pups cool down in the hot summer weather. read more

I started coming here in early 2021 after my Chihuahua was killed by a coyote while walking on the bayous. After trying different areas near my neighborhood that have their own dangers, I started bringing my dogs to Danny Jackson. It is a bit of a drive, but the safety and great people make it the best option. Dog lovers are inherently good people. Although, I've heard of a couple of fights, I haven't seen any. Some people bring aggressive dogs late at night. The late night group cooperates to give them one side or the other. It works well. read more

This location is ghetto - right by a busy highway with little to no grass. I will not go back, there are nicer dog parks with grass. read more

Danny Jackson Dog Park - (My dog on a little patch of grass) - Dog Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Please read my previous review as this is an updated review. This review is not about the facility it's self however how the patrons have changed for the worse.. I frequented this dog park once a week on Sundays because it was a relaxing time for me and a great place for my little pup to get some exercise and make some new friends. I had to stop going for about a year and a half because I flooded during hurricane Harvey. I recently tried to go back twice now and have found the patrons verbally aggressive and one man even pushed my brother. All because his dog was on a leash (wtf) and my dog was curious and kept going up to his dog. On another occasion one woman was celebrating her dog's birthday with a whole entire food set up. Anyone who goes to a dog park knows bringing food into a dog park... You are asking for trouble. Dogs kept surrounding their table, they continuously pushed and shoved dogs away from their table. I also watched as their young children fed other people's dogs as they ran up to the table. Lord knows what was in the food, if it was people food, if it was dog food, or who the heck knows what it was. On one of the occasions I also witnessed a pitbull pick up a Chihuahua by his neck and race across the large dog park. Men and woman began chasing the pitbull and was able to pry the little dog out of the pitbull's mouth. I've never seen this type of behavior. It was one of the scariest things I've ever seen. The dog owners have become much more aggressive and I do not feel as if this is a safe place to frequent anymore. Go at your own risk. Sad to say but they really need a police officer they are at all times now a days. read more

The rating is not with the park or its amenities, rather the dog owners. I have been coming to this park off and on for a few years and it is always the same BS with lazy dog owners! Today, March 23, 2019; I observed an older Caucasian obese woman (grey hair pulled back in a pony tail with oversized sunglasses; yellow teeth; dog looked to be a brown female mini pincher) berating a young lady. The older woman was very upset that the young lady brought treats and the young lady kept telling the old woman's dog to stop jumping on her. Another woman tried to help the young lady, but the older woman started cursing at her too. The older woman was clearly off her meds and was relentless on verbally attacking the young lady. When I observe the commotion, I went to the other side of the park to avoid getting involved in someone else's verbal altercation. I was already having a bad day and wasn't going to look for trouble, when I'm a sleeping tiger. Plus, I over heard others state the older woman is always yelling and fighting at the dog park. A few minutes later, the older woman marches my way to tell me not to tell her dog to stop trying to jump my dog. Her dog was fixated on mine and kept trying to dominate my dog. I allowed my dog time to defend himself and we would walk away from the mini pincher. The pincher just wouldn't give up. When I heard the women start talking, I obviously unleashed all my verbal wrath which made her run off to another area. She eventually retreated to her car. She pretended to call the cops and stay in her car until I left. Ridiculous! Keep in mind we are all going through stuff. I just left my other dog at a hospital for emergency surgery and I was dealing with other stuff. She clearly got the message to BACK the blank off of me with her hateful mouth! F this dog park!! Lazy dog parents are the worst. A dog park is to socialize not to exercise your dog, not for you to sit on a bench and let your dog roam without you watching or correcting it, not to have other dogs discipline your dog, not for you to leave poop everywhere without pick it up, not for aggressive dogs to dominate others or have you children come and play for free with dogs! I will never return here! Ever! F.. this dog park! Too many times, too many chances, too many different times of the day and it's all the same BS! read more

Came here during a recent trip with my fiance. Given how hot Houston gets, I was so excited to see a dog park with pools for the pups to cool off in. There's a pool in both the small dog area and the large dog area which is a win win. The size of these areas are huge and definitely not like ours in the bay area. While Zeus was the only dog there on the day we went, I'd certainly return when I'm back in the area. The parking lot is plentiful, but beware not to leave anything valuable in your car. Many locals let me know there's often time break-ins, so I appreciated the warning. Review #5 of 2018 read more

Eh... This park was a let down to me. I guess I am spoiled with the parks near Cypress. I drove all the way over exploring dog parks in Houston for my new pup and this was definitely a small one. And it was next to a business building. Scenery wasn't very nice! Guess it's good for ppl who work in the business building if they have a pup and live nearby.. easily accessible during their lunch break.. but all around unimpressed and disappointed. read more

Danny Jackson Dog Park - Large dog park side - Dog Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Out of all the dog park I've ventured to in Houston this is my favorite one. The best thing about it, is that it separates the small and big dogs. Although, it can be annoying when people bring their giant dogs over to the small dog side at times. Besides that it's great! The people are nice and my pup has less anxiety knowing the other dogs are all around the same size as her. I think it's also cool that they have a mini pool for the dogs too. The blue water looks weird initially but the dogs love, and occasionally drink it, so it must not be harmful. I wish all dog parks had this same concept. Especially the ones by me so I didn't have to drive over here. Although, I'll continue to do it because I'm obsessed. read more

Danny Jackson Dog Park - Gracie and Demi all in ONE picture - Dog Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Had to resort to Danny Jackson Dog Park because Johnny Steele Dog Park flooded again.. The park is hidden off 59. It's covered by bushes/shrubs. They cover the side of the park so it's easy to miss. It looks like they only have 1 enter/exit. The park is segregated into small dogs and big dogs. The small dogs had a sign that said "less than 20 pounds". I attended the big dog side of the park. There is a lot of gravel/dirt so I suggest wearing shoes you aren't too fond of. There is an abundance of doggy poop laying everywhere. It's sad because there is an endless supply of poop bags. The park is large. Just kind of a peculiar location. The pond is not too small but not too large. The water looks like it's dyed. It's has a bluish and teal color to it. Love how friendly some of the dogs are! I have a Maltipoo and an American Bully. They enjoyed it here! read more

This is my new favorite dog park! I've been to a few around Houston, and I felt like none of them were big enough, besides Johnny Steele. Even though Danny Jackson isn't as big, I love its setup! It's basically this super long strip of gravel with grass on either side. In the middle, there's a small pool/pond (dyed blue, which is kinda odd). I like that the park is just sooo long (and uniformly so) because then dogs can have room to run around with their friends, or alone with their owner, and overall they can just find their own space if they want to get away from the crowd. You don't really find that at other parks-- if you want to get a little bit of separation, you have to go to an area that's either covered in poop (because dogs don't want to play there and thus have deemed it the "potty area" of the park) or has no grass. I also love that parking is soo easy here; the lot is huge and there are plenty of parking spaces. The small dog area (less than 20 lbs) isn't as large but it definitely looked like a lot of fun! There are also 2 bathing stations, equipped with 2 hoses each. Super convenient. read more

Our dogs give this place two paws up even though they are among the most anti-social canines I've ever met... which is why I bring them here in an effort to improve their social skills. A well designed dog park in the Galleria-ish area, it is a popular spot with separate large areas for large and small dogs. I've been going here for years and will continue to do so for many more. read more

We love this place. The open space and the doggy pool is simply wonderful! We have a pug and tbh he doesn't swim but he loves watching the other dogs swim. It looses a star simply down to the issue of the other dog owners (not all of them) but the ones who DONT PICK UP THEIR DOG SHIT - you know who you are. Come on man, what's the issue it's your dog it's pooping just pick it up. Drives me insane. You don't have this issue at Levy etc but here it was bad my husband stood on some nasty poop it was like a minefield. Anyway, if you're cool with avoiding the shit then definitely give it a go your pup will love it!! read more

Danny Jackson Dog Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Danny Jackson dog park is probably the best Dog Park in the city of Houston. It's perfect. It has a small park for the small dogs and a bigger park for dogs over 20 lbs. Both areas have pools and enough space for running around. I come here at least 2-3 times a week. I have been to several dog parks in Houston but this is the best I've been to. Every now and then you do run across those owners who don't clean up after their dogs or the owners that won't stop their dog from attacking other dogs. Other than that....your pooch will love this place! read more

I've been going to this park off & on since it opened. I have always had a great experance. Yesterday evening my SUV was broken into. I always put my bags on the floor board or in the back & cover them. Nothing is ever left out in the open or on the seat, ever... Yesterday was no different, I park up front in the Handicap space between the dog wash & the entrance to the large dog side of the park... As I've said I've been coming to this park since it first opened, I've heard & seen a hand full of cars broken into but people left things out in plain site. However I did notice last evening there is no longer a Constable present in the parking lot at dusk till closing like there has been in the past.. Also the lights in the parking lot go off for several minutes at a time leaving the parking lot in total darkness for way to long. I will never go here again at dusk or night unless there is better lighting & the presence of the Constable in the parking lot.. This is very sad for my dog who loves visiting here.. Please be aware of all the cars broken into here... Even when you take precautions they still break your window & take stuff.. Just FYI it cost me more to replace my broken window then the bag & it's content were worth... They got nothing of value... read more

One of my favorite places I have went so far. Visited a while back with my Great Dane. Sadly moving away from the area. Would recommend.

What I love - showers/water hoses on outside of fenced dog park area to wash your pup. They have a small and large dog park and a fence that interconnects the two, smart! Hours are 5am - 10pm WHOA! They have lights which makes daylight savings feel not so 'ruff'. Ample parking (parking lot). Benches scattered throughout to sit. Fire hydrants because, well, it's just funny and makes for good photo-ops. I'm indifferent to the water/lake area. I wish it had a more substantial zero entry walk-in or wasn't so steep along the edges. I say this as an owner of a dog (less than 1) who hasn't learned to swim yet and fell in his first visit here so he's a little hesitant around the water, but puts his paws on the water's edge (we have a life vest and watch him thoroughly). I'm also indifferent because, while the gravel area surrounding the water lake is fine on sunny days, when it rains, the gravel on the declining hill just flows mud downstream into the water area (and who knows what else, ick!). I found there seems to be BIG dogs here overall, not a bad thing just an observation worth sharing if that matters to you and your pup. Perhaps they love the water feature to jump in. We have an English Bulldog less than 1 and while he can hold his own plenty well with larger dogs, I witnessed another dog smaller in size who couldn't and the owners left upset due some altercation with a bigger, more aggressive dog (I don't know the details of what happened). All the owners of pups we've engaged with were friendly and conversational and watched their dogs closely/were nearby...always a good sign to me. read more

Beware. Owners here do not keep an eye on their dogs and refuse to leash them when they are biting others. Brought my golden retriever who was attacked aggressively by multiple dogs. The owners of these dogs were careless and did not care about the safety of my dog. The park itself is dirty and not well maintained. The pond is cool but not worth it. The water fountains for the dogs were disgustingly dirty and molded. Waste bags we're not stocked either. Skip this place and find a more friendly park for your pup. read more

Great park! It's separated into two sections, dogs over 20 and dogs under 20 lbs. The small dog section is nicely shaded and there is plenty of green space. It even has a small pool for the dogs. Plenty of seating for owners as well. This will be our regular park read more

Hot diggity dog, this place is Arf!-some! When Tex is a good boy--or when Mama is trying to wear out his energy for the evening--I treat him to a grand ol' time at Jackson Dog Park. Like most dog parks, it divided into small and large dog playgrounds. Lots of grass and a few large trees are planted throughout, a fire hydrant--and a seating area for the parents. I prefer to grab a seat on the grassy knoll and watch my babe leap into the pool/pond/mini lake ... whatever you want to call it. He looks sooo adorable and has the time of his life running wild with his furry pals. It's fun for dog-loving parents, too; you'll find so many different breeds and mixes, ages, behaviors ... all so adorable. I also find amusement in the creative names I hear being shouted out: Coffee! Hef! Peaches! King! Things to remember: *Sandals can be okay for the rents, but the gravel can be tough to walk in; and should you get trampled by a herd of wet and muddy dogs playing chase, you'll want that extra foot protection. *Don't complain if you get soaked by a St. Bernard shaking off his wet coat. You're at a dog park, 'member? *Scoop your poop. *Always have your vaccination records on hand. Things to bring: *tennis balls *bug spray *doggy shampoo and towels to wash down your pooch in the bathing area *a camera and good 'tude read more
