751 Beach St, Fort Worth<\/em><\/p>\n Fort Worth\u2019s first fenced, off-leash dog park is the place for active pups that like to romp, run, race, and socialize with other dogs. Fort Woof Dog Park includes two separate fenced areas for \u201clarge\u201d dogs over 40 pounds and \u201csmall\u201d dogs under 40 pounds. Each section includes picnic tables and benches for pet owners to relax on, a watering station for both dogs and cats, a steady supply of plastic bags for poop scooping, and multiple poop disposal-stations.<\/p>\n Fort Woof Dog Park hosts multiple dog-friendly events throughout the year, including the popular \u201cBarktoberfest\u201d in the fall and the \u201cDog Day in the Park Dog Fashion Show\u201d in April. Fort Woof Dog Park is open the same hours as Gateway Park (5am to 11:30pm) and the park is fully lit at night. The late night hours and full light make Fort Woof a great option for energetic pups during the summer months when midday outdoor play could risk heat stroke.<\/p>\n The park is located a quarter of a mile past the main entrance to Gateway Park.<\/p>\n 2. ZBonz Dog Park<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n 5250 Old Bendbrook Rd, Fort Worth<\/em><\/p>\n Just west of downtown, this newly opened 10-acre dog park also features a venue for mobile adoptions and other pet-related services. The off-leash park is located on the rolling grounds of what was once the Z Boaz Golf Course. It\u2019s been given new life with a host of amenities including picnic tables, pet-friendly shower stations (a big plus for cleaning up muddy dogs), shade structures, waste stations, jumps, barrels, and fountains. Like Fort Woof Dog Park, ZBonz Dog Park includes two separate fenced dog areas for larger dogs (over 40 pounds) and smaller dogs (under 40 pounds). Each of the areas includes a pond, agility course and grassy area.<\/p>\n The park also features a bronze sculpture by artist Lori Scott called \u201cWho Rescued Who\u201d. The sculpture is dedicated to William V. \u201cBill\u201d Boecker, the president and CEO of Sundance Square\u2019s development company, Fine Line Diversified Development, who was instrumental in raising the necessary funds for the ZBonz Dog Park conversion. A major feature of the new dog park is the adoption center, which is designed to help lower Fort Worth’s high euthanasia rate by giving shelter animals a better chance at adoption.\u00a0(In 2008, Fort Worth euthanized about 70 percent of the animals that entered the city shelter.)<\/p>\n ZBonz dog park is the second off-leash, fenced dog park officially within Fort Worth city limits.<\/p>\n 3.

Paradise Dog Park<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n 1195 NW John Jones Dr., Burleson<\/em><\/p>\n For pet owners who are not entirely comfortable letting their pets off-leash at a public dog park, Paradise Dog Park in Burleson TX may be just what they (and their pooches) need.
