Parks · East Dallas
Dallas's first and most beloved off-leash park, a renovated 3-acre site on the northwest shore of White Rock Lake with a 2-acre large-dog paddock and a 1-acre small-dog paddock. Features include 6-foot fencing, shade structures, drinking fountains, dog wash stations, and a fenced dog launch with lake water access.
Your dog gets a lake swim spot, acres of fenced running room, and the 9.3-mile leashed lake trail right outside the gate.
Hours are Tuesday–Sunday 5 a.m.–11 p.m.; the park closes Mondays for maintenance and on rain days, per Dallas Park and Recreation. Dogs need current rabies tags and city registration, max three dogs per person; leash dogs when entering and leaving. Dog park hotline: 214-614-6711.
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.
