West Austin Park Dog Park

About the dog park

• Fenced, with room for dogs to run off leash
• Size: about 1 acre
• Run by Austin Parks and Recreation

A fenced one-acre dog yard with stone terraces in a small neighborhood park west of downtown. Dogs must be leashed in the rest of the park.

Rules

In Austin, dogs must be on a leash no longer than six feet on the way to and from an off-leash area; at fenced areas, keep the leash on until you are inside and the first gate has closed. Off leash, your dog must stay in sight and under voice control, and one person may have no more than three dogs off leash. Dogs need a current rabies vaccination and must be spayed or neutered; dogs in heat and aggressive dogs are not allowed. Pick up after your dog, fill any holes it digs and keep children under 12 with an adult. Parks are generally open from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. (Austin Parks and Recreation)

Rules and hours can change, and dog parks sometimes close for repairs. Check the signs at the gate.
