Large Dog Paddock

About the Park

Big dogs are the intended audience at the Large Dog Paddock in Grapevine, a fully fenced, grass-surfaced off-leash area in the 76051 zip code. Hours run long — 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily — which fits the North Texas habit of beating summer heat with sunrise or evening sessions. There's no fee. The full perimeter fence is the headline feature for owners of strong runners and escape artists, and natural grass is easier on joints during hard play than packed dirt. Grass also means mud after storms, so expect a dirty dog in the wetter spring months. As the name says, this paddock is set up for larger dogs; small-dog owners should check on-site signage for where their dogs belong before heading in.
