Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park is a vast 293-acre park in North Austin with large off-leash areas featuring extensive hiking trails, open fields, natural landscapes, and creek access for dogs to swim and play. It includes amenities like waste stations, picnic tables, restrooms, parking, a swimming pool, and sports facilities. The off-leash zones are unfenced, shared with hikers and mountain bikers, requiring attentive supervision.
Dog Park at Walnut Creek Metro Park is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
Walking trails are available, so you and your dog can enjoy a walk beyond just the off-leash area. Trails are a great option for dogs who enjoy sniffing and exploring at their own pace.
Best of all, Dog Park at Walnut Creek Metro Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
Fresh water and a bowl
Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A towel
Your dog will likely get wet at the water features. Save your car seats with a quick dry-off.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats
Useful for practicing recall in a distracting environment and rewarding good social behavior.
Your dog's favorite toy
A familiar toy can help shy dogs feel more comfortable and give them something to focus on.
Note: Off-leash in designated areas only; trails shared with mountain bikers and hikers—stay alert and supervise dogs closely; bring water especially in summer; ground can get hot midday.
