About the Park
The White Rock Lake Dog Park is a 3-acre off-leash area with separate 2-acre large dog and 1-acre small dog paddocks, featuring lake views, trails, and a dog launch for water access. It includes shaded structures, drinking fountains, benches, picnic tables, and pet waste stations. Located at the northwest side of White Rock Lake Park, it was the first dog park in the Dallas Park and Recreation System.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
White Rock Lake Park 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.
There's a separate area for small dogs, which is perfect if you have a smaller breed that might be intimidated by larger dogs. This is a feature many dog owners specifically look for.
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.
Best of all, White Rock Lake Park Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring
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.
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.
