Tom Slick Park

The park itself is GREAT.
But…
Soooo many little pods of shady little neck-​tattooed guys. Soooo much weed in the air. Where the eff are the park police? It’s uncomfortable when pups and tiny humans leave the park with a contact high. You’re definitely not on the North Side anymore, Toto!
Clientele aside, the design/​layout/​trail upkeep/​and, above all, THE QUARRY LAKE THING (lurrrrve!) are at the very least equal to, probably *preferable* to, McAllister Park for dogs’ day out.
Parking BLOWS.
And it’s superweird that there’s a BBQ pit *inside* the off-​leash dog area.
The park itself was cool enough that I’ll certainly be back, I’m sure. But absolutely not on a weekend.

The Dog Park, I absolutely love it! Me and my dog have loads of fun there! It’s an off the leash gated dog park, which is awesome if you have a large muscular puppy that loves to burn off energy running and playing with other dogs! The people and dogs that go here are very nice and friendly. There is plenty of room for the dogs to play with eachother! There is a picnic area with two tables and bench to sit on underneath a shaded area if you want to come out with the family and eat lunch and watch your pup play with the other dogs. There is a decent sized sidewalk, so if you’re in a wheelchair or have a stroller you can still follow your puppy all around the park! There is a water fountain for you and your pup, even a rinse area, and a little pool of your pup needs to cool off. Plenty of trash cans and doggy bag holders so can pick up after your puppy. There’s plenty of benched located around and in the play area of the dog park just case you get tired of chasing them around and just want to watch. The dog park is separated into two parts one for smaller dogs and bigger dogs. It never matters which side you go to, it’s mainly for your dogs comfort level, for example if your puppy likes to play by themselves or gets scared easily by bigger dogs than I’d suggest take your puppy to the smaller park located right next door. But I’ve seen huge dogs play with tiny little wiener dogs there having fun and enjoying their day at the park! Usually when a dog starts to act aggressive to the other dogs the owner will switch to the smaller park to see if that calms the dog down if not they usually leave. Me and my bully absolutely love this park! She loves making friends with all the people and dogs bigger and smaller than her! She loves running around with the bigger dogs but hates when a tiny dog sneaks up on her she freaks out and jumps really high! Lol bu then starts playing with them! Anyways come play at Tom Slicks Dog Park, it’s highly recommended!

This park is great for A ‘Car ride, Walk’ combo to keep the dog children thinking they are living the good life. We don’t often use the Dog Park on site because its always busy, even on Christmas Eve, and one of my dogs hates crowds. They do have a doggy water fountain and disposal bags by the walkway though which we utilize. The paved walking path from the parking lot around the Quarry is perfect for the boys. There’s a few benches along the loop too if you want to rest. There is a slope that goes down to the Quarry, but the water looks terrible so I try not to let the kids swim in it. A large mostly flat area between the dog park & the baebal field are great for playing. Plenty of parking too.
Go for a W here, the tails will wag.

Good park. Lots of open space. Clean. There are port a potties. Kids playground. Lots of parking.
My dog likes the dog park. They have a small dog and big dog area. Lots of water fountains and they all work.
My only concern is the turn off into the park.
I make sure to go very slow and turn on my signal light so cars know I plan on turning very soon.

The address on here took me to the middle of a seedy neighborhood…

Cute park. I’m here early morning to have my offspring wear of her energy. The playground equipment is more meant for older children that like to hang and climb but (un)fortunately for me this child has no fear of anything and uses them just fine at the age of 3. We checked out the dog park because we have 2 dogs (that were not with us) to see if it would be something we would use. It’s a good size despite other reviews… But I’m just looking for something bigger than my back yard and have them socialize with other pups. This place is very clean. I’ve seen a cleaning crew come in to pick up trash off of the grounds and a lady was actually scrubbing the water fountain down. I’ve never seen that before 0₀ and I’m oddly thankful I witnessed it. There is a porta-​potty for those 3yr old child gotta pee right now emerengcies. Plenty of parking. And a «park police» vehicle rolled up and kinda chilled for a while. I like this place. I’m sure it’s crazy on the weekends tho.
(Edit: it’s wed around 10am. There’s a group of mid to late 20s guys practicing football, in case your the kinda mom that likes to look at eye candy while your child is playing. ;))

Normally, we find ourselves at the Phil Hardberger park, but we decided to check this place out since we were near by.
It’s located RIGHT off of the 151 frontage road right past the 410 intersection. The park itself was pretty nice, TONS of equipment for the pups, water bowl area, even a pump that sprays out a bunch of water for when it’s hotter. My only complaint is the shade. Granted we visited this park in the middle of the winter and the heat wasn’t an issue– however I can only image how hot that dog park gets during the Texas summers.
By the one visit it looks to be a pretty popular dog park for the area since even on a cold drizzly day, there were at least 10 – 15 dogs running around in the main/​big dog park portion.
I wish we had all this fun equipment at the Phil Hardberger dog park!

I’m giving this park 3 stars for the following reasons… The actual park has a nice, short (maybe half a mile around) paved trail. Nice wooded areas around it, with a really nice pond/​lake/​water feature whatever you want to call it. Easy to get down to the water, although the sign at the park entrance says no swimming and dogs must be on leash. But I’m not sure how strictly the leash laws are followed. Really pretty area. The dog park wouldn’t be bad except there was really large mulch everywhere on the ground and made it hard for the dogs to play. But there are two separate areas for large or small dogs. Disappointed in the dog park, but the walking trail I really liked.

Not sure why using the Unilocal directions sent me the wrong way but the address is 7400 Texas 151 Access Rd, San Antonio, TX 78 227
This park and dog park are awesome! I like that they offer both small breed and large breed sections for your fuzzy friends. There is also a walking trail not far from it, which leads to an awesome area to give your fido a cold drink and a quick dip. The park is clean and those visiting are good about looking after their pets, as well as picking up after them. The bad part would have to be that the doggy bag rolls are empty so be sure to bring your own. Other than that, it is a great visit for a pretty weather day,

Decent off-​leash dog park in the middle of a city park. There’s also a nice paved track encircling a quarry pond on the property as well as some ball fields. The dog park can get quite busy on the weekend so watch your pups. It’s a great place to get the dogs some socialization. Try it on for size.

My boyfriend and I took his 3 year old Lab to this dog park a couple of weeks ago and our pup definitely loved all of the open space! They have different sections which is nice to separate dogs who may not get along with others, as well as water and «obstacles» for the dogs to play on. Good location right off of the highway and nice walking trails and playground for non-​dog owners. Overall much nicer than other dog parks we have been to!

Took my dog for an event sponsored by HEB and Beneful dog food, it was a blast! Tons of games and treats for the pups.
The park itself was fantasic, there are water stations and things for dogs to climb on, over, under and through. Tons of shady areas with trees for them to pee on. First dog park we’ve been to in the city and it was very impressive.

I don’t understand how this place gets such high ratings. It is super small compared to any other dog park I’ve been to. The set up is also very awkward; there’s not really any good open space for a dog to run at all unless they’re some small toy breed. The obstacle course is also a big joke; looks more like items bought online and just thrown out with no regard to common sense.
Having said all this, when I read all the previous reviews I was actually excited about going here since A) it’s super close to our apartment, B) we have just relocated from Houston and had been looking for a new dog park, and C) it had good reviews. Now either I have super high expectations and was spoiled from Houston area dog parks or people haven’t ever been to a really good one. Needless to say we shall never return. Go somewhere else.

I’ve been consistenly taking my dog to this park since it’s close to where I live plus i’ve figured out the best time to come when there’s plenty of dogs which is the reason why I take my dog there, to interact with other dogs and learn how to act right in public =)
Goods:
— 2 gates areas for dogs. One for little dogs and one for pretty much any size dogs
— the locals that go there regularly are pretty friendly
— most owners pick up after their dogs
— someone donated two baby pools which is usually filled up with water and laid it out in front of the water spout.
— there are three benchs located within the gated dog park. Two are shaded, the other. not so much.
— The baseball field, play ground and lake are right there. When I take my daughter ou there with my dog I usually take her bike riding around the lake then play at the park. It’s real convinient.
— The park is not hard to find, it’s off of highway 151. There’s a drinking fountain for people as well as the dogs.
— The park has several play areas for the dogs such as a little tunnel which the kids can use as well. lol
— The regulars that go are pretty chill. The best time to go is during the week in the evenings when it’s not too hot. Weekends, early in the morning between 8 – 11 in the AM
— There’s cute little exceercise machines right outside the park which is good for begginers.
Bad:
— some people don’t pick up after their pets but that’s about any park. No one is perfect and there are «those people» who really can care less about the rules and have no respect so I don’t expect that to change anytime soon.
— it gets pretty dark in the evening, the park needs more lights.

I come here every other day or so with my puppy, Kadence. She loves it here! There is a very small agility course with a tunnel, standing pad, holed circle, hurdles, and teeter totter. Most of the pet owners that come here are very responsible however there are a few that 1) should not own a pet, 2) don’t clean up after them when they poop, and 3) let their dogs hump, bite, and be aggressive toward everyone else’s dog (this is what I can’t stand).
There is a little kiddie pool that the dogs and jump in or occasionally drink from, but there are a couple water fountains for humans and dogs to drink from. The only place for shade though is a little covered area with two picnic tables under it. They have a small dog area that is under renovation (but I never see anyone working on it) for those that have yorkies, poodles, etc. that are afraid the bigger dogs might be too rough.
Overall this is a nice little place to take the pup but I think it could also be better…

A wonderful park to take a walk on trail, it has a gated dog park play area, play area for children, and baseball field. I absolutely love this park. It also has a lake. There is so much parking with plenty of space to run in an open field. I have taken my kite. This is so far one my favorite parks in this area.

I took my little Dobie pup here and she had a blast. There were a lot of great things that made this park great. There is a small and large dog area. Perfect for matching up with what you’re large or small breed can handle. There are water stations throughout. Push a button and it fills up a water holder on the bottom. This is similar to a water fountain for dogs, just with a reservoir to hold the water. Benches and tables are spread out.
What I didn’t like about it is the large rocks/​boulders. When dogs are going full speed and/​or romping around, this could cause injury. My pup avoided these areas as much as possible and can’t leap over them like the adult athletic dogs can. I saw dogs tip-​toe or stop and went around the rock areas. Doesn’t really make sense to me, because the dogs don’t like it, it could cause injury, and there’s a lot of it.
Overall I will be taking my pup here a lot. I know she enjoys it. She’ll learn to leap over the rocks like the others. :D

This park is very clean. As another reviewer mentioned, I didn’t see any droppings on the ground, indicating responsible pet owners! There is a little obstacle course, a watering area with a hose and little kiddie pools for the puppies, and a shaded pavilion area. There are also puppy and people fountains too. My dog loved it here and so did the other dogs as they ran around chasing each other. Will be definitely coming back here often!

Took my pack here (great dane, weimaraner, and yorkie) and they loved it. I guess I should say, I loved it because they love any open space! It was a nicely landscaped and CLEAN dog park. I’ve been to almost all the other parks in town and this one is by far my favorite.
There are two separate sections, one for small dogs and the other for bigger dogs, 2 water stations in the dog park, covered pavilion for owners to sit on picnic tables, and two stations with stocked doggie clean up bags. Everyone was really friendly and actually WATCHED over their pet. Didn’t see one ‘present’ left on the ground, which is a sign of owner responsibility! Will definitely be back to let the pups get out some energy soon!

We pass this park everyday. Right off 151. very spacious. large field. Clean. We’ve been waiting for the dog park since we heard they were making one and the end result is AWESOME!
Separate area for big dogs and little dogs. The big dog area is very nice. Has an obstacle course, benches and picnic tables, has fountains for humans and pets. While your pet is running around playing you can walk along the paved path and exercise yourself.
The little dog area JUST HAS PICNIC TABLES so you might want to bring along some water for your pet and some mutt mitts, unless you want to walk out of park to get some or you can cross over to big dog area and grab some there. Its not as fun as the big dog area but has enough room for your pet to run and play.
There is also a place to jog and there is a playground too for the kiddos. Large field for playing baseball, football or soccer. We’ve also seen people out there flying kites. We always see grounds keepers there so its very clean too. Its easy to pass up the entrance so take it slow. Other than the occasional dog poo (that some owners neglect to clean up after) i have to say its a must see and your furry friend will have tons o’fun!
