Reviews
My husband and I started going to this dog park back in July this year, and I honestly love it so much. We were going to Millie Bush Dog Park beforehand, which is a great alternative. However, in my opinion, this park beats it.
Our Nova girl loves to swim and has made lots of new friends. The lake is in the shape of a dog bone, which is super cute. This also has an area for the small doggies as well. I appreciate the size of this dog park because it is perfect not just for the dogs but for owners as well. We can walk and enjoy the outdoors as well as our furry friend.
It has lots of shade, and my husband and I truly appreciate that because it is honestly difficult to find dog parks shaded in general. In my opinion, this dog park would be very difficult to beat, and we have only been to a handful.
Great memories made this summer that I will always cherish.
This dog park does have water fountains and dog wash areas for both big and small. Sorry, not pictured.
These pictures were over the course of a month.
** *FYI*** The sewage drain. Beware of snakes near it. It is Texas, after all. The snakes try to go down and can not. Apparently, they are all fat and try to escape that way. I have not seen any in the dog pool but just the drain. It is the opposite direction of small dog park at the end of the big dog park doggy pool past the first shelter in the left coming in.
This is the largest and most complete dog park in Houston. It provides two large natural swimming pools for dogs and covers an area equivalent to 10 football fields. There is an obstacle course for dogs in the park. There is a special area for dogs to bathe and clean at the entrance. The park is divided into three areas. Each area is equipped with a water dispenser and a large outdoor rest area.
Clean & safe (Police surveillance within area)
Enjoyed the nature and walking trail
Friendly atmosphere
Overall, Rosco G Q enjoyed running with other dogs especially swimming
Dogs had a blast. We drove 50 minutes for them to experience such a nice park. Definitely worth the drive. I wish I knew what the pond was treated with, but our dogs are doing just fine hours later after playing in it and (unfortunately) drinking the water. There seemed to even be a water filtration system for the ponds. Very impressive dog park!
This was our first time here, and everything was a decent experience. I will say my pup is off and on with what dogs he is friendly with so we don’t leave him off leash all the time, instead let him in a secluded gate and let him get his fun and tire himself out. We do keep him om leash and let him and the other dogs smell one another. There are a lot of people with dogs there, so if your dog is iffy with others, I would avoid this spot. They have 2 blocked off areas, one for the big dogs and the other for small. Overall experience good I just wish they had more secluded spots for dogs who might need alone time.
