Garland Dog Park — Attraction in Garland

Beautiful little park and my dog loves it here! They have 3 fenced in parks for the dogs, one is always out of rotation so that it can be fixed up from the dogs running, playing and digging. They have a primary park for big dogs, and a primary park for little dogs, and they're supposed to be separated. Generally well kept, aside from the occasional bad dog owner who doesn't pick up after themselves or their canine. However, all in all, it's beautifully made. They have water fountains for the dogs when they get thirsty, and a little dog shower area to clean them off if they get muddy or dirty.

Only complaint I find is really the owners who bring several big breeds that aren't very friendly and sit in lawn chairs or on the side to chat instead of make sure their dogs don't act out and get aggressive with other stranger dogs. There's a few groups who bring several large breeds and hang out while their dogs play, but their dogs get aggressive with dogs they don't know or pile up on a new, unknown dog and overwhelm the poor pup. They usually end up driving out new people with only one or two dogs, who gets nervous around a pack of 6-8 unruly, large breeds with no engaged owner. This isn't really the parks fault, more of a bad dog owners issue. However I do think the amount of dogs within the same park should be more regulated to keep dogs from attacking eachother or causing problems when owners won't watch their dog. I've heard about a few incidents that have happened here due to that, which is unfortunate. Other than that,...

My dogs love this place because they can run in do there business. But the only thing I need to say is ask people if there dogs are dog friendly my are NOT.. so that why I'm in the Large yard for big dogs area by myself with my dog.. but when I see people come with there dog I let them no in i say give me few seconds and we leave so they can come in with there dogs.. People be sure to put your leashes on your dogs now is someone's dog is not friendly and they're leaving you should be able to troll your dogs.. i had a lady 6 dogs this morning she was just go to let her dogs in without asking if my dogs are friendly. i told her that my are not dog friendly. in she told me why are you here at a dog park because me in my dogs living in Apartments that have place for the dogs to run at. she say I don't need to come here with my dogs I say I come here when it is not busy in no one in the...

We like taking our dog here and are so happy that we finally have a dog park. While happy to have one, a city the size of this should have at least two, if not more. For this one, there needs to be more seating for the owners to use, as well as, more doggy waste bags/trash cans in each enclosure. That is the only thing I feel is lacking. The other issues are with the dog owners. People are so lazy and don't pick up their dog's waste even though there are free bags and trash cans. The other thing is that they will take their large dog /dogs in the enclosure for small dogs. The first time I went, I had to go into a different enclosure because several people with very large dogs were in the small dog one. I wish people would think about others more, realize that they are not the only ones using the park and that they need to be more...
