Central Texas Bark Park — Attraction in Temple

We like going to the dog park. It is a great opportunity to play with other pups and stretch our legs. The park is split into two areas, one for large dogs and one for smaller dogs, but the areas share a common fence. It has shade and some agility equipment. The grass is not always mowed and many owners do not pick up after their pups, even though the city provides baggies and a trash can.

Most of the dogs are well behaved and most of the owners are attentive to their pups, but there are some dogs who are not well behaved and owners who dont even go into the area with their dogs, choosing to sit outside on the benches instead of monitoring their dogs.

Overall it has been a positive experience, but we have chosen to leave because of a particular large aggressive pack of dogs have attempted to push under the fence to get to my pup and the owners were not concerned.....instead saying, "if they were in the same area, our dogs probably would not be trying to get to your pup." I'm sorry, but growling, snarling, baring teeth is definitely not encouraging me to let my pup play with yours. If you know you dogs are dog aggressive, you shouldn't be bringing them to the park.

Just a word of caution......but other than that one pack of dogs, all the other doggies...

Love taking my girls here. Never had any issues although I don’t take them to the dog park area. I like to sit on the hill and let them run around they stay near me. I have a pitbull and she is the sweetest girl but I do get stares from the people walking on the path down the hill or the occasional person that picks up their ankle biters fearful my dog may hurt them lol even though I also have a little dog and she is the alpha in the pack. My pitty is the omega and submits to all dogs she meets by rolling on her back. Pit bulls are judged constantly but I will forever stick by her side and promote...

My dog and I like the park. The listing for Lions Park dog park is this park, that one should be removed. Two fenced areas, left side under 30 lbs, right side over 30 lbs. Fence could use some maintenance, there are small holes in a couple places. Good shade on the small side, limited shade on the large side. Water bowls are usually around but bring your own just in case. There are some walking trails in case your dog gets bored. Obstacles for training are available on both sides. Benches for the humans while the dogs socialize. Friendly bunch of regulars come to the park so your dog can get to know...
