Do not go to this dog park if you are a nice person and have a friendly dog!!! The manager is crazy…read moreand prefers only older people and unfriendly dogs visit the dog park. This dog park is not your typical family-friendly dog park for families and their dogs to play. I have seen so many dangerous situations and have left a message for the manager/owner with no return call. We will never go back! I've seen two separate people on two separate occasions leave crying and running away with their dogs due to the horrible people. The people are very unfriendly and hate children and families. Only older, retired people go to this park and several have unfriendly, aggressive dogs and have to take them to the smaller dog park when friendly dogs arrive. It's a shame this dog park is so poorly managed, unfriendly and dangerous - our community could use a nice dog park that is family-friendly and safe. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOG PARK! There are amazing dog parks for ALL close by. It's not worth the risk to take your friendly dog/family to this place. And, if something happens, they will not care.

This is an amazing dog park, I am so glad that we stumbled across it! It has both a large dog side…read moreand a small dog side. On the small dog side there is a gazebo to relax in while the pups play, there is a small little pool for them to cool down and play in, a watering station for them to hydrate, and plenty of well maintained area to roam and play in! Over on the big dog side they had a large water area for the dogs as well! As an added bonus, bring a little shampoo with you , because they have a nice little wash off area that you can use when you leave in case your pup got a little too dirty while he was having fun!

Walking trail is really nice! Beautiful park, lots of people and squirrels. Playground is big, not…read moremany areas to sit and watch the kids play though. The dog park.... Needs some help. Nothing but dirt!

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!

My dogs went crazy when they saw the dog beach. I had 2 labs that lived for swimming here. It's awesome when you can catch it in quieter days as it's become quite popular. I still love it as it's a great park for you and your fur babies.

As evidenced by his refusal to leave for 5 full minutes, my rescued fur baby gives this park…read more5-stars. Coming in at a hefty 65-70lbs of questionable coordination, expert intellect, and pure speed, it's been a challenge mentally and physically exhausting my active Border Collie mix. Unfortunately even after his very active dog dad's runs combined with a generous backyard and playdates with his fur friend, he's got more remaining energy in one paw than I have in an entire month. This park is fabulous regardless of if your fur baby is this active, or prefers to relax on a bench undisturbed (although a division for the two play styles is the only thing I'd suggest adding). As others have mentioned, the dog beach, shaded benches, dog runs, trail, doggy showers, and overall cleanliness of the park are impressive. Additionally most dog parents are as trained as their pups, remaining attentive, and polite. Just be sure to watch the water if your pup is overconfident in their swimming abilities.

(From February 2025)…read more When I made it here, it was right when it got dark and with the cold wind chill coming so I only walked around the pathway one time and that was it. While short and brisk, I imagined what the views would be like if it was warm and sunny outside. I pictured peoples reflections being seen in the lake and the bouncing of basketballs on the b-ball court while hearing the noises of kids in the playgrounds. Then I came to my senses and realized that the walk was over due to the path being shorter than I thought. Although short, it's a great way to escape and enjoy the sounds of nature. I hope to come back here when it's warmer and I'm back on assignment in College Station.

Came here for the first time with my son. We came to exercise this morning and it was beautiful…read more The park overall is really small. We zig zagged through every walkway and came up just under a full mile so if you're looking at running a mile or more and don't like to backtrack, then this isn't the park for you or you can run outside of the park. It f you do, the sidewalk doesn't connect all the way around so you'll end running on the grass. The way the trees and bushes are, it's a relaxing and pleasant stroll through the mini woods. There's a large pond where I think fishing is allowed since I didn't see a sign other than no swimming. This park comes with a nice little clean playground for the kiddies and a full size basketball court to include 2 additional mini full size courts. There was even a basketball so my son and I shot some hoops for a little bit. I did see some picnic tables with bbq grills and a pavilion with more tables/chairs. If you're looking for a hike or a trail, I wouldn't recommend only because it's too easy. The walkway is kind of narrow so please be careful of others if you're running. The parking lot is a good size, but I heard it's full during game day.
