Located at 4201 T C Jester Blvd, T.C. Jester Park is a standout dog park in Houston, Texas, beloved for its expansive grounds, separate areas for small and large dogs, and impressive amenities that cater to both pets and their owners. This well-maintained, fenced Houston dog park features double-gated entrances, making it safe and convenient for dogs to enjoy off-leash play. Dog owners rave about the park’s extensive shade, ample seating, dog wash/rinse station, and a refreshing swimming area that’s perfect for water-loving pups. There are paved, pet-friendly trails winding through the park, offering great dog-friendly hiking and walking opportunities alongside the bayou.
T.C. Jester Park also boasts covered shelters, agility equipment, shaded benches, plenty of water fountains for dogs, and convenient waste stations with poop bags. The park’s generous parking, clean environment, and night-time lighting make it accessible and enjoyable year-round. Separate dedicated areas for small (under 25 lbs) and large dogs (26 lbs and up) help ensure a safe, social environment tailored to your pup’s needs. Beyond the dog park, families enjoy on-site playgrounds, disc golf, and walking trails, making it a favorite spot for all ages.

Very nice park and alot of activities for all ages. Took my son here and we enjoyed it in the short time as it was to hot but we live right down the street. Definitely recommend but would also recommend more shade at the park.

This is a great park to visit. Even if you come across this review and don’t live nearby this is still worth a drive and there’s a great parking lot available and it gives you a nice way to walk through some trees and along the bayou and just take a break from all of our daily distractions! TC Jester Park has become one of my new favorites! If you have kids the playground here looks like a lot of fun! They have a really nice outdoor recreation area with everything from pull-ups, sit-ups, even jumping platforms, it really has it all. My only caution for any visitors – be mindful of the road bike riders who travel along this path – though they all know how to use biking commands such as “passing on the left” I would say that 98% never do. So just be careful with you and your family because they will happily blow by you going 20+ mph and it is an accident waiting to happen. Other than that, come and enjoy this wonderful outdoor space! 😎

Biked here from the Heights with my kid. She’s three and loved the renovated playground. Big tree right next to the playground provides great shade for eating at picnic tables.

This is our new go to park. This park offers walking trails, playgrounds, dog park, disc golf course, pool etc. After sunset, the park provides light which is great for after work jogging. We normally park at the parking lot near the pool. We saw lot of birds flying around the park. One of our favorite things to do here is watching the dogs play at the dog park. Only problem here is the restrooms. Most of the time, the restrooms are closed and even if it is opened, the restrooms are very stinky and not clean. Last time there was only porta-potties.
