Shout out to Urban Run Club for introducing me to the park! I love that they have air pumps, a pool, and other amenities. I wish that there was more water fountains along the trails though. I do appreciate how clean the park is and everyone is friendly around the trails. It is dog-friendly, I bring my dogs here every Saturday and they love it.

I have a 20-pound Frenchie that thinks he's a Great Dane, Diesel. He gets along fine in the big…read moredogs area, which is really the only area used by 90% of folks for dogs big and small alike. Diesel loves Bark Park and perks up when he realizes where we're headed. In dozens upon dozens of visits, he's been humped a handful of times and subjected to a little rough play, but very rarely to the point where I felt it was unsafe. Bark Park is a pretty typical dog park in this respect, maybe a bit less aggressive than others I've visited. The regulars here are pretty diverse and super friendly. I'm kinda introverted by nature and have a good sense of stranger danger, but I get drawn into a lot of conversations, mostly because Diesel is an enthusiastic idiot who somehow runs at normal dog speed despite his small stature. Regarding the parking, yes, there is a lot at the far side of the dog park, and yes, you have to traverse a four-foot-wide path with your back to the traffic whizzing by at all of 15 MPH if you choose to park in this lot. Closer spots are sometimes available, but when filled, I mostly default to the baseball field parking lot across the street. The biggest logistical problem here is poor drainage. There is a small wading pool that often gets filled and ends up with stagnant, dirty water, which Diesel seems to gravitate to after he gets winded. In general, the water situation at Bark Park is not optimal...fountains work poorly, and drainage is bad throughout. There are a few water jugs sprinkled about in an attempt to mitigate the issue, and provide fresh water for pups. The amount of shade could be better. If it's midday during the summer, I'll drive to Phil Hardberger as the foliage there really helps keep the temperatures a little more reasonable. Bark Park installed a gazebo last year, which helps with some shade if you are sedentary, but I like to walk laps because otherwise Diesel loses his mind. The trees at the park seem to be underwatered; a large portion of them have been cut back or cut down, and not a lot of foliage has grown back in. The issues are minor enough that 95% of the time, I'll prefer the five-minute drive to Bark Park over a fifteen-minute trek to Harbender. Diesel has enough fun that we've been frequenting it with some sort of regularity for a few years now.

I really like this dog park- there's plenty of parking and there's shade. However, I really wish…read morethat the small dog area was larger and had more additions like the large dog side. I have a corgi, so for safety reasons I keep him in the small dog area unless theres just a few big dogs that keep to themselves. I've seen too many big dogs get into scuffles or go after other dogs. If you've got a big dog this is an excellent place to take them because there's picnic tables, agility equipment, a walking track, and water fountains for your dog! The small dog side is still a decent size, and does have a bench with some shade. I still bring my dog here if I'm in the area because he loves to run up and down the fence with the bigger dogs. Plus, there's always the trails to enjoy as well.

Sharing this as a PSA:…read more I frequently take my dogs here and they always have a great time playing with other dogs. They are bigger dogs and enjoy playing rough with each other but are not aggressive dogs and understand the boundaries of other dogs. Today I took the dogs to the park and this couple came in with their dogs and my dogs tried to play with their dog but it was nervous. The couple immediately urged me to get my dogs, which I understood since their dog was nervous. The husband then tried to kick my dog multiple times and then went after my dog WITH HIS GUN, as he's screaming and getting aggressive with me. My dogs were never aggressive with his dog and they were away from his dog as he still went after my dogs, with his gun. Fearing my own and my dogs safety we immediately left. Another person who witnessed it shared with me that their dog was shot and killed by someone at the park before. Of course I can't say whether it was the same person who I encountered but I'm sharing this to warn everyone to proceed with caution

I've been going to this park since I moved to the neighborhood in 2019. Took my pup on the big dog…read moreside to walk trails and small dog side to play fetch. Shes a medium dog about 20 lbs. We were very frequent visitors. We had a downfall in 2021 and now shes a senior, blind and a T1 diabetic and bumps into everything. but fetch is her life so we kept going to the park and I would bring her favorite scented squeak toy so she could hear when I throw it and smell it to find it. But our visits started to become complicated when dogs would just run her over or run away with her ball leaving her frantic because she couldn't see was going on. I often times had to get her ball back from the dog and walk to another empty part of the park and toss her ball to her so she could play and get her exercise. This wouldnt stop the dogs from constantly stealing her toys and running away and the owners just laughing at me. And I would explain my dog is blind and needs her ball so she can hear and smell it to play. They would say "it's just what dogs do" which irritated me. Since I kept moving to empty parts of the park and they would just follow. Theres thousands of balls there and hers is a scented squeaker made for blind dogs. So I picked her up and left. I started taking her early mornings when no one is there and that worked for a while. On may 8th we finished our walk and a lady came in with her 2 dogs, no big deal I was snapping my fingers at my pup so she could follow me back to the car. One of the lady's dogs ran over which I thought was just going to say hello, pinned my dog down and started chomping on her. I quickly reacted and grabbed the dog off my dog and picked up my dog and ran her to the fountain to check for wounds. She had a bad puncture in her back that required 3 staples. It was a horrific day. I won't be going back here anymore. I wish they had dog parks made for disabled and older dogs. Its frustrating trying to find an area that's gated where she can run and explore and not get bullied or completely run over by other dogs. We just take little walks around my complex now and play fetch inside my apartment.

The entrance gate is a double gate for those of you with escape artists. Park has running water available for the dogs, and picnic tables shaded by large canopies. The only thing keeping this to 4 stars is the lack of grass. Yes, there is some grass in the park, but it's mostly dirt. The city has plans to plant grass and make other improvements, but they still need donations. Check the gate coming in for info on donating.

The caves - not really caves, they're more like crevices to explore. They aren't more than 15 feet deep and the sun lights them up fairly well, so don't be 'escared (yes, I said 'escared). Getting to them can be tough if there is water in the normally dry creek bed. You'll have to traverse a VERY steep uphill trail to get to them. The cool thing about the trails here, is that you get a little bit of everything. Some paved trails, some smooth dirt trails with lots of berms and hills that are great fun for mountain bikers (but won't tear your expensive rig up). Look for these hills near hole 9 on the disc golf course (it's hidden in the woods). Take Side Trail A (creative name, right?) to get a good view of the creek when there's water in it, and take the Blue Angel Loop if you want to walk or ride on loose river rock. Signage isn't too bad, but I do recommend printing a map before you go. https://www.universalcitytexas.com/DocumentCenter/View/2544/UniversalCity_TrailMap_11x17?bidId= The strangest thing is, this park measures the trails in feet instead of miles - what, what??? I've never seen trails measured in feet. If you hit all of the trails, you can get 6 to 7 miles in. You can park at Red Horse Park, Veterans Park, or at UC Municipal Park - they're all connected to the trails. I'm amazed at the diversity of the trail system in this park. And oh yeah, they have a covered basketball pavilion, baseball diamonds, LOTS of space to run around in and even fly kites. No power lines around, so your kite won't get hung up on a line.
