H.O.T. Dog Park - Watch out for this creep, I don't know who he is or where he's from. There's been a report filed

Considering this is the only dog park i can find in the WACO area, I'm happy that while visiting i…read morecould let my Jack Russell run free. She was happy to be out of an apartment. I'm from the Austin area and dog parks are everywhere. As I can see the push for downtown WACO living, why in the world are there no "enclosed" places for pet owners to take their pets to? The H.O.T park space is huge for large dogs, the small dog area was pretty small and rather neglected as well as the medium sized dog area but I'm so grateful for it and an enclosed area either way. Nice with great hills, plenty of shade and benches and a nice walk path around the perimeter area. Friendly dogs (thank goodness) For some reason my GPS took me some place else but a nice man told me where to go to find the dog park. (on a bend next to the Texas Animal Med Ctr) The pond is dried out due to the heat. Obstacle course is old and in need of some work. Saw a black dog that didn't appear to belong to anyone and didn't look friendly but approached my dog and thankfully just walked away.

Absolute waste of time. Waco has all of 1 dog park across the entire city. This dog park was a…read morewaste of an hour of my time and gas, the gates are locked and there's a no trespassing sign. I drove all the way here so I had to play with my dog in the area outside the fence instead. Horrible and sad, we visited 9/12/2024 Edit: an old man in a truck almost ran me over telling me to "f off its private property" and then proceeded to record me and follow my vehicle as I was terrified. 0/10, I have never felt so unsafe in my life and called the cops

This place is super. My dog loves to run and play and she almost always finds plenty of friends…read morehere. The people are nice and friendly too. There is a fun little agility area, and the small dog area has its own pool. The large dog area is kept up nicely, including the pool, and there are shady places for us to sit and chat while the dogs run amuk. I am very happy to have found this place - actually my friend invited us out and we have been going off and on ever since. I'm impressed by how well-maintained the caretakers keep it. Thanks Animal Friends of Washington County!

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.

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.

Love this park! Huge gated park to run your dog(s) whatever size they may be. The dog wash area is…read moreSO appreciated and makes the task of bathing your dog after the park incredibly easy. 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.
