About the Park
Wiggly Field Dog Park is Denton's first dog park, located within the 69.32-acre Lake Forest Park. The park features separate fenced off-leash areas for small dogs (under 29 pounds) and large dogs (over 30 pounds), with amenities including shade, benches, water fountains for both humans and dogs, and paved parking.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Wiggly Field at Lake Forest 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.
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, Wiggly Field at Lake Forest Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
