Southdown Dog Park

I like this dog park. So does my dog, I think. The whole park area is great, despite being right next to a freeway. My dog is really old, and we’ve stopped coming. But when we did, he seemed to enjoy watching all the other dogs run around. Everyone has a good time. He’s pretty lazy, so I don’t think he ever actually did anything except sit next to me and watch the other dogs. But having fun by proxy still counts, so this place gets two paws up.

Good size. Short fence that has some damaged areas, I would not bring a jumper or escape artist here. Only 1 covered area in each side. Neat hills to run up and down. No rinse off station which is a big plus for me at other parks. Do have free bags and lots of poop trashcans. I like the convenience to 288. Will be back due to location but not because it is my favorite park.

Horrible for small dogs. Gate broken but doesnt matter because the design is wring meaning your small dog can slip right through the vertical bars… mine did.
Large dog park same style gate. Found my dog in the large dog park in the blink of an eye.
Fence height separating large dog area? 4 feet.
How many large dogs could hop the fence should they become aggressive? Most.
CAUTION: TAKE YOUR CHANCES!!!

I have 2 Huskies that travel with us for work! I like to find awesome dog parks to take them to. They absolutely love going, but this dog park was horrible! My youngest husky is 4 months old weighing 20lb, he was able to fit through the fence and get out. They also did not have any drinking water for the dogs inside where they play. The water was on the outside by the road, and was broke. They also only had one table to sit at, and the seat was broke, only allowing 3 people to be able to sit. I will not be taking my dogs back!

GOOD:
–dog obstacles
–nice little hill for change in elevation
–a few small trees for limited shade
–big and small dog sides
BAD:
–next to 288 so lots of road noise.
–gate is really obnoxious
–only one picnic table for seating.
–no dog pond
–no dog drinking water
–no working human drinking water

I’ve been to this park quite a few times since moving to the Pearland area. I have a Basset Hound that I want to get socialized more with other dogs and I can say the dog park has been a big help. This dog park has a small area and a larger one separated by fences. There are few places to sit so you can watch your dog play. I love that it’s big enough for you to throw a ball and wear your dog out. Poop bags are available all over to help keep the park clean. They have a doggie water fountain to quench their thirst as well. We usually stay in the smaller «puppy» park vs the larger one. It’s a bit calmer there. I can say that the park is convenient with ample enough parking. It’s right next to the «people» park too. The people that come to the dog park all socialize along with the dogs. It’s a great place to bring your dog and stay for a few hours. The grass could be greener, but it doesn’t effect anything in my opinion.

As someone mentioned, there’s not a ton of seating, but the park is a great size and shape for keeping an eye on your dog while still providing lots of run space. I like that it’s mostly mud-​free and there are bathrooms in the event center/​community hall.

Yeah the grass could be kept up a little better… there are a lot of bald spots… but my dog didn’t seem to mind, lol…
It’s pretty big, has a lot of room to run around and little hill to climb.
There isn’t much seating and since it is a dog park i had no interest in sitting on the grass… another bench or 2 would be a great improvement for those of us with dogs that don’t play with their human but like to play with just the other dogs.
Bring your own water bowl, there is a doggy fountain outside the gate, but my puppy couldn’t figure it out so i bring him a bowl now and fill it up before we go in.
They have a big dog and little dog area. There are some training structures around if your dog is into that. They do provide bags and trashcans, which is rare and i will really appreciate that it’s there if i ever space out and forget my dogs bags!

The grass is not kept well, and there are always those sticky pods on the floor that sticks to my puppies fur.
But other than that, the park offers great space and obstacles to please even the most stubborn dog. I love taking my dog to this local park because it is close… and because there are always other dogs that mine can play with.
Next time your around. come look for my little pomeranian running around amongst the big dogs!!!

When I dog sit for my friends I always take their dogs here. It looks like they have such a great time with the other dogs here! There is a ton of room to run around in and throw a frisbee! They even have a gated off section for the small dogs so they don’t get run over by the larger dogs! There is also a cute little drinking fountain for them there!

This Dog Park is always wet and it stinks. The fountain, which conveniently has a dog-​height water spout, leaks. That turns the convenience into a gross mess. There’s no hose nearby, so you have to bring lots of towels if you want to bring your dog here.
This place could be nice, but it doesn’t drain well, plus the huge mud puddle caused by the leak is too gross for me. Dog-​poop water is a health risk to my dogs, and to me. I’ll drive the extra 20 minutes to go to the Dog Park at Independence Park.

My favorite local dog park to go during the week. Why? because my little scared chihuahua, Maverick, is so small that he gets his own little «puppy park» area to run around in without being trampled by «BIG» cuddly pups. I love BIG dogs but Mav thinks they’re going to eat him. The entire dog park is double gated and fenced completely around so letting your dog free as a bird is the best feeling I get here.
While you let your dog run around in wide circles over and over or sniff the fecal exit route of another dog, you can chitchat amongst other dog lovers. They have little playground hoops and play doghouses for your four-​legged creatures to jump through or sniff around.
As long as we’re in the area, we’ll be here at this dog park: o) Buffalo Bayou Dog Park on Allen Parkway & Studewood is a favorite, too.
