About the Park
The Dog Park at Gene Green Park is a 4.2-acre fenced off-leash area in northeast Houston with separate sections for small (0.7 acres) and large dogs (3.5 acres). It features grass turf with gravel paths, wooded trails for hiking, a bone-shaped swimming pond for large dogs, a splash pad for small dogs, doggie showers, water fountains, waste stations, benches, and shaded seating. The park is wheelchair accessible and well-maintained.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Park at Gene Green Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Dog Park at Gene Green Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.

Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
