What dog owners are saying
Recent review snippets help visitors gauge vibe, upkeep, and who each park suits best.
Finishing our day trip down some of Route 66 - plan was to grab Mama’s favorite SEAFOOD meal in Amarillo before heading back home. They were closed for a private catering event, DARN! So we still needed gas and Molly needed a potty break, so we rerouted here to knock out both, then saw a Godfathers Pizza inside Love’s, and we both miss the old pizza place, do eating assignment down as well!
Read more about Dog Park at Love’s Travel StopsThe fence is pretty low for a dog park so be weary if your dog is athletic. But lots of space for fetch! And there are poop bags all around the park. The park ranger also bring tennis 🎾 balls by so there are plenty at the park! And there is one water station at the front. Just for dogs tho.
Read more about John Stiff Memorial Dog ParkHi, my name is Libby. I have two King Corso‘s and they’ve never been to a dog park before we were in town and decided to check it out to get a little energy out before our appointment and they really thoroughly loved that they could be off the leash and just do what they want and be themselves. I would recommend this part to anybody who’s looking to have a nice relaxing speechless visit with their dog.
