James Rooney Memorial Park is a family-oriented public park in Fort Stockton, Texas, featuring playgrounds, sports fields, a disc golf course, walking tracks, barbecue pits, and the Comanche Springs Pool. It offers lush green spaces with turf fairways, large trees, and shaded picnic areas ideal for leashed dogs. Visitors praise it as a pet-friendly oasis with clean water access and ample grassy areas for exploration.
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, James Rooney Memorial Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
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.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Dogs must be leashed. Park is mixed-use with walking paths, roads, and canals as out-of-bounds for disc golf.
