Austin is very much a dog-loving town, but not all of the
city’s parks and nature trails allow off-leash walks with your four-legged
friends. In fact, most parks and nature trails in Austin require dogs to be on
their leash constantly, which makes it difficult for them to run, swim, and
explore to their heart’s content.
Off-leash parks are Austin’s a solution for active dog
owners, but many of these designated spaces are too small for larger animals to
really let loose, and they are usually devoid of natural enrichment like
streams and tall grasses. What’s more, these areas are spread sparsely
throughout the city. Plus, they can be hard to locate online for lack of
official websites.
