Bark Park

Really nice park, fenced in and two separate parks … One for the little guys and one for the big boys. Everyone is super nice and very friendly. Our dog loved mingling with the other dogs there. Very clean as well

I love this place. I live in an apartment with 2 BIG energetic dogs so they love coming here too!
Very big and very spacious, and well shaded for us humans.
My only complaint is that the location is kind of hard to get to; as in you have to hopscotch and jump on one leg 3 times, spin around and say «uncle». Okay, not that hard, but I wish it was more centrally located.

I absolutely LOVE BARK PARK!!! Well not me really– my fur babies. (I mean I’d look pretty funny sniffing other dogs privates). However, my girls love to come here! There are a lot of shade trees, plenty of bags to clean up after your dogs, access to a hose and water fountain, and there are separate spaces for the big and small dogs.
The only disappointing thing is that there are far more large dogs than small dogs. So when I go with my girls, they sometimes are the only small dogs in the park. Their favorite part of the park? Because the park has so many mature trees, there are a few squirrels, and my 10 lbs killer Maltese loves to run after them. What she would do if she caught one? I don’t know, sometimes the squirrels are bigger than her.

I live in Round Rock, just a few minutes away from the RR Dog Depot, but I heard this was a great dog park, so we headed north on 35 to check it out. It was a beautiful dog park Lots of fenced in room to roam, with shade trees. We were there for an hour and met a lot of really nice dogs and humans. Unfortunately, our great trip ended when an aggressive boxer showed up and spoiled the fun. The owner of the boxer had no intention of leaving after his dog attacked mine and one other, so I took my dog and we left. I will say, there were wonderful people who rushed in to help pull the boxer off my dog and tried to block him from attacking my dog a second time and I truly appreciated their help. Had the boxer not shown up, we probably could have spent all afternoon here because it was just a lovely place, with lovely people and dogs.

This dog park is about 5 minutes off of I-​35. As we were traveling down the highway we decided the dog needed a little exercise. We were very amazed at how great this dog park is. It is very big with very large mature shade trees. The best part of this park though are the people and their dogs (at least the day we went). All the people and their dogs were very laid back, and our dog had a blast. I highly recommend this park.

This is a great park for dogs, I like how they have separate sides for large and small dogs.

This place is a spacious doggy haven! I didn’t even realize there was a dog park in Georgetown. I took Samuel there on a Wednesday afternoon. It’s summer time and a weekday so I knew that the company would be slim. My 8 year old cousin was with me when we took Samuel out. When we got there was another person out there with their dog.
One really great thing about this park is that there are tons of trees for shade. However I did notice that there were several benches but they weren’t in the shade so that was a challenge for sunny Texas day. However I will say that will all the tress came bugs. There were flying fire ants that kept landing my on my cousin and I. It was freaking me out.
There’s an agility area for the dogs as well as huge bins, buckets and baby pool. You can fill these up so that the dogs have a place to cool down. As I walked around I didn’t notice a lot of poop. That’s nice to see. It seems like lots of responsible folks and a well maintained area.
Next time I may bring along a folding chair so I can sit in the shade if needed. Overall a really great park. We’ll add this to our list of rotations.

There are many dog parks in the greater Austin area and living in Round Rock I wanted to find something close to home. The Round Rock Dog park is ok, but it’s rather small and not shaded, making it very hot during a heated Texas day. Well low and behold, I found the Bark Park in Georgetown not too far from where I live in RR. Very easy to find (thanks to GPS). They have the typical 2 area (one for small and for big dogs, water, water baths, lots of shade and sitting area around the trees. The area is about 6 acres so your pooch (es) don’t get bored too quickly. They also have an agility area as well as a walking trail all the way around the dog park. The people are also friendly. Will definately go back, and its FREE! Check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

Nice park with great trees but unfortunately there was an aggressive dog there that I didn’t want my 6 month old dog exposed to. There was also a toddler running around in the big dog section, so I didn’t feel comfortable letting my dog off leash, as I know my rambunctious dog would have unintentionally knocked the kid over… so we left and went to the Cedar Park Bark Park where I’ve never encountered these types of issues before. This is a nice park but not worth a 30 minute drive only to discover the park visitors aren’t dog park friendly.

This is a wonderful dog park! We take our dogs here every once in a while, and they love it!

This dog park is beautiful with trees and tons of space for off-​leash fun. It is extremely popular in the Georgetown area and there are lots of dogs here on a regular basis. Everyone seems to watch the poo, so it is cleaner than most of the dog parks that have so many dogs visiting. They have added agility equipment and fun obstacles for the dogs to play on in the big dog yard. I would love it if they had a water feature, but they do have big plastic kiddie pools for the water loving dogs to sit in when it is hot. I have a new pom addition to the family and he loves to run around the little dog yard and watch the big dogs play — there is nothing to play with in the little dog yard, which is sad for him. The labradors LOVE the agility equipment and all of the socializing in the big dog yard — occassionally you will get some aggressive dogs /​unaware owners — but so far it hasn’t gotten out of control while I was there at least.

I absolutely LOVE this park! Once again, kudos to G’town Parks & Rec for putting thought and consideration into this project. The place is very well-​maintained, clean (as far as dog parks go), and very spacious. The small dog pen is very roomy, and not like other parks I’ve been to, where you get the feeling the small dog section was an afterthought. There are great, user-​friendly water stations, and even an obstacle course for the dogs that like to do tricks (like my Butch).
The other dog owners, I noticed, are generally friendly. There’s a community feel to this place, and I think that has to do –at least in part – with a having well-​maintained, premium facility.

Right up there with Cedar Bark Park and Stoney Creek Dog Park (AKA Harris Ridge Dog Park), I LOVED my first visit to this dog park in Georgetown. I can’t believe I didn’t know about it or check it out sooner! I wish it were closer!
It is HUGE HUGE HUGE and BEAUTIFUL! The more spacious a dog park, the less conflict that arises. It’s also fenced in properly, for little and big dogs alike. While they have separate small and large sides, a lot of smaller dogs come over to the big side.
More pros:
–LOTS of agility equipment (more than in any other park I’ve been to)
–water/​kiddie pools inside
–lots of huge trees and beautiful green grass (that you can even sit on!)
–plenty of cool dogs and I didn’t see any conflicts (I’ve only been once though)
The only con I can think of is that there is one spot at the big of the park where it stays muddy after rain. It’s not large, but it’s a small con. That said, there are hoses near the front water station that you can use to clean off your pup if he/​she gets dirty.
Also, GPS systems seem to lead folks astray. Ours told us to turn right when we should have turned left on Holly St.

My boyfriend and I take his dogs there. It’s fenced in, plenty of shade trees, water for the dogs, plenty of room for them to run. So far, everyone we’ve met has been super nice and welcoming. Best of all, it’s right here in Gtown!

I wish I had found this place sooner! It’s huge and has tons of space for the dogs to run around and and play together in. We got there and there’s a small enclosed area before you enter the play area. You can unleash your pup here and leave the leash so you don’t have to carry it. As we walked in, we looked around and saw so many small groups of people that seemed to know each other along with different types of dogs playing. We walked over to one of the many benches under one of the many trees and sat next to other people. Everyone was so friendly and all the dogs were SO well behaved and so friendly. We didn’t have a single issue and can’t wait to go back again this Sunday!
They also have 2 areas. One for large dogs, one for small dogs. We went at like…8pm so every type of dog was in the large dog area.
There were a bunch of buckets of water around along with pools for the pups to play in. We had a blast!

Great park. Area for small dogs and area for big as well as a time out pen. Great for walking perimeter. New little dogs should go to the little side unless they can hold their own (not all humans can outrun their dogs!).
I go at a standard late time of day where I think the owners know each other and dont hesitate to stand up to aggressive dogs and OR passive owners.
Be cautioned that pits are viewed warily so if you have a pit let us know you are in control.
Aggression from any dog will probably result in a request to leave the immediate area (it is a big park!) or a nice request to pay attention. We dont want your dog to leave we just dont want things to escalate out of control.
As for kids, everything low key but if your kid is afraid of dogs, this is a DOG park.
Thank you City for great park.

We’ve been checking out dog parks for our rambunctious lab and decided to zip up to Georgetown. This park was huge, and lots of trees for shade.
Con — it was hard to find, our mapping software sent us completely in the wrong direction.
Pro’s — beautiful park, lots of friendly dogs to play with

Beautiful, wide-​open space for large or small dogs. There are separate fenced-​in areas for small or large breeds, as well as agility equipment and a water/​drinking area. The old trees are wonderful and provide shade for you or your dog! There is also a large bench for the humans to sit on. ;)
I took my large dog here for the first time today and loved it. All of the dogs and people were very friendly and sociable.
I will being going back for sure! :)

This is a very nice and quiet park! I like going here is I want a break from the larger crowds that flock to tho central Austin and downtown parks.
The nice thing is that there are lots of trees and a few of the trees have seating that goes all the way around the tree so if you’ve got kiddos that will mind their behavior well, it’s a very relaxing park. There are a number of fake fire hydrants in the park which are very cute. Make sure to bring your own tennis ball tho! A lot of barks tend to have forgotten ones all over but this park has fewer. There is a nice agility area towards the back if that is something your kiddo is up for. There is also a small dog yard and time out yard.
Onto the not so great things. There is an area for water with a hose and a few smaller containers for filling and a couple pools but they all tend to get muddy really fast so keep an eye out on them to change them out for your pup. There also are 2 areas where water collects and stands after it rains, one in particular will remain a mud puddle for a while. So if you want you kid to stay dry, come long after it rains!
As for the owners that come to this park, most of them are really great! I have only been weary of one owner who brings 3 – 4 boxers who are very dominant and he does not mind them very well but will watch them as they pin other dogs and get into scuffles with other dogs as well as each other. But the rest of the owners are pretty great! Everyone is up to chat or just sit quietly. Very relaxing!

I am very impressed with the park and wish I lived closer to visit it all the time. It is absolutely huge, has a separate area for smaller dogs, offers shaded bench seating for the two-​legged animals, and has the cutest fake fire hydrants for the dogs to use. Water is also available from a fountain and someone has brought a few plastic children’s pools for the dogs that like water.
When we visited, it was in need of some gravel in the water area, as it was pretty muddy and nasty in that area, but this is easily fixable.
Thanks, Georgetown, for offering such a great place for our four-​legged family members!
