Trails · Montrose / Memorial
A 160-acre linear park along Buffalo Bayou featuring 10 miles of shaded hike and bike trails, the Cistern, public art, and skyline views. Leashed dogs are welcome on the trails and in the park's green spaces, and the park contains Johnny Steele Dog Park for off-leash time.
It is Houston's best combination of scenery and dog infrastructure — miles of shaded trail plus a full off-leash park inside it.
Dogs must be leashed (Houston leash law) on trails and lawns; off-leash is only allowed inside Johnny Steele Dog Park, per Buffalo Bayou Partnership. Park trails are open dawn to dusk per the partnership. Bring water — bayou water is not for drinking. Hours were not published in the material reviewed.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
