North Lakes Dog Park — Attraction in Denton

Very nice place. Very clean. Park provides boxes with plastic bags along the fences for poop disposal. Trash cans are provided at the entrance/ exit to each of the dog run areas. There are good quality benches to sit on as well as a few tables. Will be very nice when trees mature. I'm only giving 4 stars due to lighting after dark. I do not know any of the city's thinking or arguments for or against having the park. The type and style of lighting chosen may be very well explained in those debates however I found the lighting to be grossly inadequate for a city park. The pathway lighting does get brighter as you approach but I feel it's just not enough. The LED string lights give the different dog run areas some nice ambiance but in effect are useless. I have similar thoughts for the parking area. Maybe there's other plans, I don't know. I grew up in Chicago and to me the park after dark had a feeling of a bad part of town where creeps and drug dealers hang out. I don't think many people would feel safe there after dark. I feel if the city isn't going to put up the funds and install lighting for a good well lit area for residents to enjoy then should probably just close it at dusk. Just personal observations and thoughts. I think the city might be asking for trouble during the nicer weather months in the evenings there as far as possible...

Wow this is a SUPER DUPER nice GREEN grass park for the doggie kiddos. This was my first time there and l came in off Riley St and finally found it continuing beyond the recycle area. The road is rough & the city should invest in paving it but the park itself is beautiful & well kept. Update: after speaking w/ Keely Briggs City Council & mayoral candidate the council has plans to re pave in 2021. My only complaint is on our way walking to the areas ppl let there dogs poop & left it a lot of it. Ppl need to pick up but inside the gated areas it was very clean and well kept. Water is available for each pen but l bring my own bowls. They have 3 large pens ( one is closed for grass regrowth but its close to ready) and 1 smaller area pen for smaller dogs. Its escape proof so you can feel comfy letting your baby off leash. We'll be back on Sunday early afternoon playtime with our...

I mean, it’s ok. New. Nice. Barely any tree coverage for summer (like yeah they put in lots of trees but none in the actual fenced in areas). Also, good luck figuring out how to get in there. You have to turn on Riney from 77 and eventually there’s signs but it’s a disaster. We saw at least three people driving on the bike path or getting stuck at dead ends and we even walked a mile there from the main park because we couldn’t figure out where to park (made worse by all the street closures around there). Another also, the agility part? Is there supposed to be actual agility equipment there or just more open space? Not sure if they’re planning to add stuff but right now, it’s just lots of fenced in grassy areas. We will prob. be sticking Wiggly Park because this one just wasn’t as impressive as we...
