Within the city limits, we have two dog parks -- these are protected, public areas where dogs are allowed to roam free, without leashes (leads), making friends with other pooches and finding a real Sniff-Heaven:
McAllister Park. 1 1/2 acres, 13102 Jones-Maltsberger Road.
Pearsall Park Dog Area. 1 1/2 acres, 4700 Old Pearsall Road.
Pearsall Park Dog Area. 1 1/2 acres, 4700 Old Pearsall Road.
Remember, though, dog parks aren't for all dogs. Some pups can be overwhelmed or frightened by the dog park -- and territorial, owner-protective types are known to fight. Try visiting the park on a off-time, see how Fido likes the area before you go for a Big Visit on Saturday morning.
You can always walk in the other city parks, on leash, as long as they aren't considered "natural areas" - dogs aren't welcome there.
What are these "natural areas"? They are these six city parks: Crownridge Canyon, Eisenhower, Friedrich, Medina River, Stone Oak, and Walker Ranch.
