West Austin Park & Wading Pool

The park itself is okay, we travel so we've been to 11 states worth of dog parks for our dog Nova. For Austin I thought it would look nicer. The reason I gave it a 5 stars is for the other dogs and all the cool dog owners. We struck up some conversations with some of the owners and our dog LOOOVED playing with their dogs.

It also had an interesting bird houses on a pole.

Our dog loves the west austin dog park! It's definitely an Austin hidden gem. Most of the dogs that come through are super friendly, and it's nice to see many of the same dogs every day. It feels like a community. It's smaller, but still plenty of space and never too crowded. The only downside is there is an insane amount of mosquitoes at certain times of the year so be sure to bring bug spray.

This is my favorite dog park in Austin so far. It is really well kept with plenty of fresh water, poop bags, and best of all, so many fun structures to hop around and sniff that I don't even have to play ball with my fetch-obsessed dog. A really nice break for me and so much fun for him!!

Important note: The wading pool is not for the fur babies. We were slightly misled, but regardless, the dogs had a great time

West Austin Park (& Wading Pool) is a green space in the cute Clarksville neighborhood.There's a playground, wading pool, and open lawn for some frisbi throwing or whatever park activity you're into.

As for the dog park area... it's a wonky and warped medium-sized lot that's fenced in. Water bowls are spread throughout, along with patio chairs that neighbors likely donated, and the majority of it is shaded. This dog park seems to be maintained by the community. There was a giant water jug that one kind gentleman kept refilling the bowls. Outside the bark park you'll find the water refill and rinsing station. My dog had a great time, and would probably give this spot a solid 5-stars.

This place is definitely one of our favorite dog parks in Austin. The entrance is secure and every time we've been here, all the dogs have been super friendly and playful.

The dogs definitely love running up and down the steps/..ledges? And get some exercise in. There are plenty of seats available for pawrents to sit back and relax while the pups socialize. Its also nice to find some doggie bags available.. but strangely theyre available outside of the dog park haha

This is a very large, multi-level dog park that has plenty of trees for shade and place for people to sit. The neighborhood is part of old Austin with million dollar mansions and student housing.

The biggest con is that it gets muddy in the lower part of the park when we get rain.

This is a small fenced dog park on the edge of a small park. We take our large Golden Retriever and miniature Aussie Doodle and both love it. Some kind soul frequently fills the water pails. There are chairs for humans, dog bags, a double gated entrance an plenty of room to run. There is a nice elevation that allows dogs who are inclined to run and jump. We have found the dogs and humans to be very responsible for the most part. Dogs who play well with others and self aware humans who are quick to call their dog back if he/she becomes to energetic. There is a small parking lot which helps out as there isn't too much street parking. This is a great option and our Aussie Doodle really loves it. There is almost always other dogs to play with.

This is the best dog park in the whole entire world. We have been coming here for years and I moved into the apartment I currently live in specifically because of the proximity to this dog park. It's an every day thing for me and Jett and one of my favorite places in Austin.

This is the best dog park in Austin that I've found so far.
It's location is prime & easily accessible. (Easy to park as well).

Lot's of water bowls, poop stations, toys and mixed terrain. Plenty of seating for humans as well!

It gets pretty busy, but that's the best time to bring the pups & get em all worn out. I recommend this place - although beware it is a one size dog park (no separate area for the smaller pups). So if your pup is on the smaller side and easily intimidated by other dogs.. might not be the place for you! Just a thought.

Favorite dog park in Austin! There are always lots of friendly dogs, big and small. Sometimes there are some little feisty humping ones but the owners are usually always trying their best to tame them. Lol. There are also some tennis balls and plenty of water bowls to fill up for your furry friend.

Overall great GATED dog park with lots of chairs for the humans!
