Great Northern Dog Park
Quiet open acres for dogs who need room from the crowd
About this park
A huge sparsely-used off-leash area tucked along the Shoal Creek shared-use trail, with paved paths, sloping grass, and a small water retention pond. The layout is more open field than traditional dog park, which regulars describe as ideal for dogs who need space away from crowded fenced parks.

Before you go
This is an unfenced field with a steep embankment along one side and a retention pond dogs tend to beeline for, so only bring dogs with reliable recall. Parking is limited to a small gravel pullout next to a busy bike route; leash up before opening the car door.
