About the Park
Onion Creek District Park features Dog Park Blue, an expansive unfenced off-leash area near Onion Creek where dogs can swim and play in a natural setting. The 517-acre park offers shaded trails, creek access, and plenty of space for dogs to run and socialize. It provides a welcoming environment maintained by the City of Austin with waste stations available.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Onion Creek District Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
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, Onion Creek District Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.

Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.

Your dog's favorite toy
