About the Park
Tom Bass K-9 Park is a 6-acre dog park located within Tom Bass Regional Park in southeast Houston, divided into separate areas for large dogs (4.1 acres) and small dogs (1.9 acres). The park features a beautiful open grassy space with 4-foot fences, agility equipment, and walking paths.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Park at Tom Bass Regional 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.
The park has agility equipment, which is excellent for high-energy dogs that need both physical and mental stimulation. Even if your dog hasn't tried agility before, most dogs pick it up quickly with a little encouragement.
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 Tom Bass Regional Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
