About the Park
Gravel underfoot keeps mud manageable at the Dog Park at Utah Park, a fully fenced run on S Utah Street in south Arlington. Entry is through a double gate, and the fencing was recently tightened up so small dogs can't slip through. Tall trees throw decent shade, and a covered shelter with picnic tables gives owners a place to sit out of the sun. A water fountain with dog bowls handles drinks, community tennis balls usually float around, and waste bags are provided. Wheelchair-accessible parking and a porta-potty round out the practical stuff. The park is free, and posted hours run 6 AM to 9 PM daily, though the county lists closing as roughly half an hour after sunset.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Dog Park at Utah 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.
Best of all, Dog Park at Utah Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
