    Lots and lots of places for our babies to run! If your dog loves water they will also love the pond they have available for dogs to use! My dog loved it

    We kind of stumbled upon this dog park after visiting some walking trails nearby. The cool thing is that along with separate fenced areas for big and little dogs, there's a third fenced area in between with a little pond. None of the three fenced areas are particularly large, and I realize it's winter, but most of the area in the larger dog park was basically dirt. They did have poop bag stations and water faucets, which were off on this day. Most people didn't seem to be paying too much attention to their dogs, and there was poop everywhere. I guess if we're in the area and our dog needed to run off some steam, perhaps we'd go in again. However, I wouldn't make the concerted effort to drive down there again.

    The back of the small dog park has some trees. The pugs loved it.

    We enjoyed the small dog park with NO dog poop piles all over. I was worried and almost didn't go because of the other reviews. Maybe it's because we went on a 38 degree Saturday at 12:30pm with few people there, but it was super clean. The small dog park is huge with plenty of central seating for dog owners. I love how it is completely separate from the large dog park and has two secure gates to walk through before entering the grass. Speaking of grass, it has plenty. It's obviously not green due to winter, but it is like a big yard versus dirt terrain like some other dog parks. The park had ample trash cans with poop bags available. It also had a couple of water fountains for people and dogs. We went three days after a heavy rain, and there were only a few slightly muddy spots in the back, so it must have great drainage. If you go to the park's website, it gives you a number to call for Dallas dog parks. It will tell you if the park is open in case you are worried after a massive rain or other weather. Otherwise, it's only closed on Tuesdays. Even though this park is 20 minutes away since we live in mid-Dallas, I will definitely visit again. I like the overall grass park better than the White Rock Dog Park, including better parking (its own private lot with 6 good-size rows), and it drains way better (White Rock is closed a long time after heavy rains!). The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that I used one of the port-o-potties by the small dog park. It hadn't been cleaned in 8 days (it's usually cleaned weekly based on the schedule on the inside door), and it was quite "full" so I had to hover and tread lightly to avoid any splashing. Eek! Great park, highly recommend!

    This is probably one of the overall nicest dog parks in the city of Dallas. They have something for every dog whether they be small or large or be one of the dogs that prefers swimming. Basically the dog park is divided up into three sections under 30 pounds over 30 pounds and dogs that like to swim. All three of the sections are very large and provide plenty of room even on the most crowded of days. Another thing that sets this dog park apart is plenty of parking. There is also a picnic area for people that want to bring something to eat when they bring their dog to the park. Additionally there is a walking path that went around the dog parks as well, creating a perfext park setting. The park is located at George Bush and Dallas North Tollway, making it convenient for a large number of people and their pups!

    I recently moved and this is the closest dog park to my house. Let me tell you that it is a long detour during rush hour since it's around tollway. This place is surrounded by older apartment with people walking around hint(selling drugs maybe?). It's the most dirtiest dog park I've been to. I don't understand the good review on here. I'm guessing they haven't been to a nice and new dog park. The grass isn't manicured, dog droppings everywhere, and lots of mosquito!! I couldn't believe how run down this place is. They do have a nice pond but that's probably where all the mosquitos. I'm going to be driving a bit further to my old dog park.

    This is hands-down my favorite dog park in North Dallas. It's conveniently located right off Dallas North Tollway just south of George Bush turnpike. It's easy to find and there is ample parking. Once you've arrived, there are three separate areas where you can take your four-legged friends - a small dog park on the right, a large dog park on the left and a lake area in the middle where they can get wet. The dog parks have water stations, trash cans and dog bags. There are several benches to sit on and lots of space for my dog to run around. Another cool thing about this dog park is that it has a strong sense of community. People talk to each other and even hold meet-up events at the park on weekend mornings. If my dog could talk, he'd tell me this is his favorite dog park to go to! I'm so glad a place like this exists so close to home.

    Blood from the incident......not including pictures of my dog as what happened was fairly gruesome.

    Don't get me wrong, I love this park but some of the owners are terrible people. I was at the park yesterday (3/23/22) with my 2 dogs, my friend, and her 1 dog. I've been going to this park for almost a year now and constantly run into lazy owners who don't know how to keep an eye on their dog. Yesterday while at the park around 12:30pm my pups were running and playing and not even 10 minutes into being there a black and white pit mix came and attacked my pit mix. The owner was on his phone, and slowly walked over while I was holding my dog as his dog continued to attack. When he finally arrived it had already turned extremely ugly. He got his dog and walked away while is stood there holding my dog as she bled from her face and mouth. The people near me helped me get her water and luckily one man there was a vet. I got her out of the big dog area and into the pond area (where there were no other dogs) when another owner approached me at the fence and said that man's dog does that all the time and he does nothing about it. The owner finally came to me and never asked about my dog or apologized but said "the worst thing to come of this was you got blood on your shirt" then walked away. I have never been so mad and disappointed in another dog owner. I know dogs will be dogs and stuff happens, it's a risk to take your dog to a park, I am very much aware, but this man had many problems already happen with his dog and he still continues to bring him and not pay attention to his dog. I am disgusted by this man..... I didn't give 1 star because the park overall is great, lots of room to run, the pond is a plus. But at the end of the day a lot of the owners don't pay attention to their dogs. I've seen too many fights break out at this park and will no longer be going there.

    I love this park. I've been coming here since it opened. You can read all about it in the other reviews. I've never had a bad experience, until today. I want this review to read more like a public service announcement, so here goes: My 11 month old dog was attacked at the park today because she picked up a toy that another dog had been playing fetch with. She seemed OK after, but I took the toy to the couple that had been playing with it and asked that they put it away because the dog was protective of it and showing aggression. They said it wasn't the dog's toy, she had just found it and threw it again. I picked it up and threw it away. Then I felt pretty bad because the dog hung around the trash can looking for it. Obviously someone else felt bad and shortly after, the dog had another toy and was playing fetch again. Well, you can guess what happened.. it attacked the next dog who took it's toy. So I asked who the dog belonged to. A different lady spoke up and said it was her dog but that wasn't it's toy. I told her that her dog was clearly showing aggression toward other dogs over toys, and asked why she keeps letting it play with toys at the park. She replied that they always come to this park. I pointed out that her dog had attacked two dogs in ten minutes over toys. So she left. After getting my dog home and spotting blood, I found three deep puncture wounds. She will heal, and I'm just glad she doesn't require a vet visit and stitches at this point. I know these things happen at dog parks sometimes. But, let's be honest.. they usually happen because of irresponsible owners. I can't imagine this is the first time that dog showed aggression. PSA: If your dog has EVER shown any type of aggression, it does not belong in a dog park. You are risking the safety of every other dog because you think your dog's exercise is more important? It's cruel. You should also think about the possibility of your dog meeting it's match someday. It's just not worth the risk. Avoid a bad situation and expensive lawsuit, just take your dog for a walk.

    It's a big park! It has three sections: - An area for large dogs, 30lbs. and up - An area for small dogs, 30lbs. and less - An area for all dogs to swim in the pond It's busiest in the mornings 9am-12pm. If you want your dog to play with other doggies, don't go in the afternoons when the sun is out and it's really hot because there won't be many dogs there. There is plenty of parking available, and water areas for your dog go drink from. The ambiance is casual and people are friendly. There's areas to sit while you let your dog play. My favorite dog park in Dallas so far.

    If you find yourself in the Plano/Carrollton area and need a break from the concrete jungle, Arbor…read moreHills Nature Preserve is an absolute must. My husband and I came here for a weekend trek, and it's easily one of the best outdoor spots in North Texas. What I love most is the versatility. Whether you're looking for a smooth, paved stroll or want to get your boots a little dusty on the dirt hiking trails, they've got you covered. It's a great mix of elevation and flat stretches. It's a great spot for everyone. Pets are welcome (on leashes!), and there is a fantastic playground near the parking lot--perfect for kiddos who still have energy to burn after a hike. You'll see a beautiful variety of plants and likely some local wildlife. Just a heads-up: they do have warning signs posted for snakes and poison ivy, so definitely keep an eye on your surroundings while you explore. The parking lot is huge, but this place is popular! We arrived around 1:00 PM and it was nearly at capacity. We were lucky to snag a stall, but I'd definitely recommend arriving earlier in the morning if you want to avoid the parking hunt.

    This nature preserve was beautiful. It has a few different trails but my goal was to get to the…read moreobservation tower. Which was about 30 mins into the trail (I'm a slow walker tho) They do have some areas you can cut through to get to other trails but I don't recommend trying this after it rains because it's very muddy. The scenery from the tower was beautiful. I do wish they had more benches to rest though because there were only two on the trail we took. At the entrances there is a park for kids to play and a barbq area that looks over the trail. There's also plenty of parking! And the restrooms seem decent
