About the Park
Flatz512 Dog Park gives San Marcos dogs a free place to run off-leash between Austin and San Antonio along the I-35 corridor. The name nods to the local 512 area code, and the space is set up for leash-free play open to the public at no charge. San Marcos is a college town on the San Marcos River, and its Central Texas setting means hot summers where morning and evening visits are easiest on a dog. What we can confirm is the off-leash use and free access; fencing, surface, and hours are not recorded here, so check current conditions before heading over. It is a handy option for students and residents wanting a no-cost spot for their dog.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
