About the Park
John Stiff Memorial Dog Park is a large 2.3-acre fenced off-leash area within John Stiff Memorial Park in Amarillo, Texas. It features grassy fields with some dirt patches, benches for seating, a water fountain, and waste bags at the entrance. Visitors note ample space for dogs to run and play, though shade is limited.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
John Stiff Memorial Dog 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.
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, John Stiff Memorial Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
