ABOUT THE PARK

The northern tip of Pease Park at 24th and Lamar has been designated a leash-free zone for dogs. There is a big open area with benches where you can find friends for your dog to play with any day of the week. This is not a very scenic park, and even though Shoal Creek does run through it, the water is pretty nasty and is more reminiscent of a sewer than a creek.

There is a nice trail which runs along Lamar, but if you want to go for a nature hike there are certainly much better options that this. The best reason to visit Pease Park is for doggie social hour. The area tends to get rather muddy after a good rain, so take that into consideration as well. If you're looking for a good place for Fido to socialize, the Bull Creek District Park is much, much better.

There is a lot of jogger and bicycle traffic going through the leash free zone, so be careful if Fido is no well behaved.
