West End Dog Recreation Area — Attraction in Galveston

Beautiful park! I have a large dog so we stayed in the big dog area. There were two other dogs when we got here but right now I'm sitting on a shady bench, just her and I, writing this review. It is, unfortunately, about the only shady bench on this side BUT being open 6 am to 8 pm everyday allows plenty of opportunity for cooler weather.

I love that they are making this a multi-layered lay out with hills for the dogs to run on and explore. There are doggie water fountains and a wash off area outside of the play area so dogs can get cleaned off before getting back in the car. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because the park is not completed yet. It looks like they are going to add a splash pad for the...

The best dog park on Galveston Island. All of the dogs here are very friendly, and this place is HUGE. The large dog area is 2 acres, and the smaller dog area is about .5 acre. There are plenty of toys, water buckets, and things there for your dog to do. I cant' believe this has to be said, but don't bring food into the park with your dog. Seriously, this has been the only...
