Public Dog Parks in Austin and Buda
Austin Parks and Recreation Department operates 13 off-leash areas in Austin for you to enjoy with your dog. In general, all parks are free and open for public use each day from 5 AM to 10 PM unless otherwise posted. At times, access is limited or affected by events or maintenance issues. Most public dog parks are NOT fenced in. We list the few that are below the map. Please send us a tip if you find public-use parks, fenced or otherwise, that we have yet to post!
