Willis Tucker Dog Park

The construction they've been doing is almost done, and they just opened the path to the dog park!! No more 1/2 mile walk around the whole complex to get to the dog park. ;)

The park is open but not easy to get to. It's about 1/2 mile walk (on leash). The construction is supposed to result in closer parking and water, but it's uncertain how long it will be.

CLOSED from October 2011 - Spring 2012. They are remodeling the park. Please let us know about the great new features the park is getting.

This is a nice, well maintained dog park. Easy to find (GPS). Find the ball diamonds. Trail on far side away from building and water park. Access to the 3 separate park areas between diamonds. Turn right. First a wood area with main trail that will loop to open park. Nice open area with bags and garbage cans. Shy dog area can be seen from there. All well fenced. Our dog had fun running with the few dogs we came across.

I go to park several ted a week & just love it but I have seem more aggression lately & irresponsible owners that think this aggressive behavior is fine. There are 2 Boston Terriers, brothers that are aggressive @ the owner just smiles & thinks that it is funny. I wish there was a way to monitor the park somehow. I still go there & love it as some of this is normal dog behavior but we need to control them.

My friend and I took our kids and 2 dogs each including my 6 month old Yorkie female to the park Sunday. It was our first experience in a dog park, so I wanted to be careful and make it a positive experience for all of us. I have raised and shown dogs my whole life, so I am an experienced dog person. My friend is a breeder and frequents dog parks often. I chose the shy dog area to acclimate our pup to this experience. Among the other dogs was a Boston Terrier. Unprovoked, he came out of the blue after my Yorkie and grabbed her by the throat. I lifted him up by his harness and my Yorkie stayed in his grip in his mouth. The owner did nothing. She did not even reprimand her dog or attempt to control him. He finally dropped my Yorkie who was going into shock. My 10 year old grabbed her as I tried to gain control of the Boston who was still off leash and circling my dog. My 10 year old was bitten by our Yorkie as she was in shock. I gathered her and put her inside my jacket to calm her and keep her from going into shock. My attention was on the dog and my bleeding 10 year old and I still had to watch the Boston as no one was controlling it. I gathered my kids and our other dog and we left immediately after seeing the blood on my dog's neck was my son's, not the dog's. The Boston's owner never offered help or controlled her dog. That whole area in the park collected their dogs and left. When I got home and was able to put my dog down to examine her, I discovered she was completely unable to us her hind leg. She doesn't appear to be in pain, it appears dead. She drags the leg behind her. We are on our way to the vet to determine if she has a neurological or spinal injury. I love Willis Park. I take my family there often and live very close. I post this for the purpose of suggestion as to how to prevent such experience from happening to anyone again. My dog was purchased recently for show and this may have ended any chance of a show career or possibly of her ever walking normally again. Not to mention the terror she experienced and the trauma to my family. We chose the non aggressive, shy or senior dog area for that very reason. So as to ensure this sort of thing could not happen.
