Fort Woof Dog Park

I love this place. Owners are all pretty good at keeping their dogs in check, so i have no problem letting my 7 month pup in there to wrestle with the big boys. Also a great place to for new owners to learn about what to do and not to do.
My dog always perks his floppy ears once he sees the park.
I’m a regular and I love it.

Fort Woof. How cute is the name? So cute. Though I am not currently a dog owner (sigh) when I dog sit or have a friend going here I like to tag along. They keep big dogs and wee little dogs separate– though more often than not it’s the little dogs who look like they wanna start something! It’s clean here and most owners respect the place, pick up poop and trash and keep it looking good. Parking is easy. Socialize your pup here!

Today marks the THIRD time I’ve driven the 20min drive to this dog park only to have it closed. Previously, it was just locked and empty on arrival. Today there was a crew that affirmed it is closed until 11am. ****Seriously irritated. How hard is it to update your media outlets to that effect???

Fort woof is fantastic! As soon as we get close both my dogs go bonkers in the car. Its the perfect place to socialize & excerise your dogs.

Great park to take your dogs. Love this dog park so much and your dog will love it too. You get to see different dog breeds here. People are friendly and the dogs here are friendly as well. My dogs loves this place!

I’ve been going to this park several days a week for a month now. Great park, several places to sit in shade while the dogs play, water and obstacles. People are friendly and get after their dogs if things get too feisty. Only complaint would be not everyone cleans up after their pup, so watch your step.

There’s been a lot of attention paid to this dog park due to multiple incidents where dogs have been mauled and killed at this location so I would say be incredibly careful if you decide to visit. I feel this dog park could be helped so much if they hired people that understand dog behavior to monitor the park while it’s open. I don’t know why they haven’t done this yet!
From what I observed there is only the public that are present to watch over their dogs with no person on behalf of the park to help do even the most basic things like answering peoples questions to monitoring the property. Yes people need to be able to «control» (for lack of a better word) their four legged friend but sometimes it’s other peoples dogs that weren’t watched that cause these terrible situations.
The small breed side has been the most comfortable for me and my little Pom so if you have a little dog I would say to stay on that side. I love larger dogs but history at this park doesn’t make me settled because I’ve honestly seen nothing done on their part to remedy situations or ease concerns of the public.
That being said the park is a good size with seating for the humans that is covered under a roof and also benches out in the open. There’s a water feature where the dogs can cool off and also an obstacle-​like course too.
I may be spoiled with the dog parks in dallas but this one doesn’t have a restaurant or any area to purchase refreshments. Which makes sense because of dogs around that can cause a commotion but sometimes we just need to buy water. Also, no restrooms either.
Be careful if you come here and don’t expect too much.

My Bentley loves Fort Woof. He runs free, nose ready for new butts to sniff and places to mark.
The park is separated into a small dog area and a big dog area. Bentley stays on the small dog side. The space is wide open and big. Good for dogs that like to run around. There are bags to pick up after the pooches and the other dog owners are very good about it. The park is also very clean and provides water stations to hydrate and give your dog a rinse.
I’ll always be back :)

I like this dog park a lot, but it’s the only one I’ve been to in Fort Worth. I will compare it to others around DFW throughout my review. ALWAYS KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR FURBABY! As common courtesy goes, ALWAYS PICK UP AFTER THEM TOO. There are doggie bags around.
I, first, would like to CAUTION you. There have been dogs killed & hurt at this park. I would solely blame the owner (s), as the dogs that have attacked others here should not have been brought to the park. DO NOT BRING AGGRESSIVE & UNSOCIALIZED DOGS HERE. If your dog is not socialized, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SOCIALIZE YOUR DOG OFF THE LEASH HERE. If you want to attempt to socialize a dog that is not a puppy, do so by keeping them on the leash AND WATCHING THEM AT ALL TIMES. Many people come here to socialize their puppies, as they should, and having puppies off the leash to socialize is not necessarily a «problem.»
Fort Woof is conveniently located off 30, but it’s surrounded by a not so pristine neighborhood. I mention this because there have been instances in which CARS HAVE BEEN BROKEN INTO. However, everyone who goes to this park looks out for each other (and their dogs) and are very well aware of the surroundings (for the safety of people and dogs), so find peace of mind in that.
There is a large dog & small dog area. If you are comfortable with it, you can go between the two; e.g. a small dog can go into the large dog area and vice versa. I took my sister here with me a week after an instance and she did not feel comfortable with me having my little pom in the large dog side. I, however, do normally jump between the two. Each area has a TON OF SPACE. More space than you would even think. I’ve gone when the parking lot was practically full, and everyone still had a ton of room. They have an obstacle course, seating, covered areas, water, and water bowls in both areas. If you aren’t watching your dog, they may lay in the large water bowls as I have seen before. But you should not worry about this, AS YOU SHOULD WATCH YOUR DOG AT ALL TIMES.
There are always people here on the weekends and you will find a few throughout the week. If you’re considering coming and worried about no one being there, you shouldn’t. People are very social as well, so meet some new friends yourself.

This is a huge dog park. It’s nice to watch your fur babies get to run free across so much terrain. Only ever been on the large dog side but they also have a separate small dog area. There is a covered area with picnic tables, agility equipment in the far back area, and water fountains (well for the dogs LOL).

Great place and excellent facility; however we went tonight at 9:30pm and the place was a ghost town. When do people go here.

Huge dog park with separate areas for large and small dogs. Lots of park benches for the humans and tons of grass for your four-​legged friend. Here after dark, and there are a couple large lights for some illumination. Water fountains in place. There is also some permanent agility equipment if you want to work with your dog or just give him/​her a good workout

This is a great dog park. I’ve been to ones in Lake Worth, Euless, and Denton, and Fort Woof was my favorite in terms of cleanliness and size; it’s size is a blessing and a curse. It is so big that it is easy for dogs to get nipped without the owners’ knowledge which other Unilocalers have pointed out. Weekday mornings are perfect because there are fewer people/​pets. Most of the dogs I encountered were very sweet, so don’t be alarmed when you see certain breeds – the pits I encountered were loving. I’ve also seen giant breeds, and all were friendly to my German Shepherd puppy except one. Some black dog in a purple collar/​harness bit my dog on the rear causing him to Unilocal and fall over in submission/​pain. Before I could cross the field to check on him, those owners scurried away. No big deal, though because it didn’t draw blood. I just wish the owners hadn’t been so shady. The dogs are going to rough-​house, but if you have one that gets a little too rough, at least be willing to check on the other dog/​owner before bolting.
This park also has plenty of benches for owners and a nice agility setup.

If you see a woman with multiple unaltered tan pit bulls, get her license plate number and call the police. Three of her dogs, led by the unaltered male she sometimes keeps leashed (because he bites) mauled my dog at 5:15 pm this afternoon. I took my dog to the emergency vet and they are keeping her overnight so she can recover from surgery.
Don’t let them maul another dog!

This dog park is absolutely wonderously humongous! We had a good time with our pup and our friends who were with us and their dog.
I love how it is separate for the small and the big dogs, but because the small dog side didn’t have hardly any pups we opted to go to the big dog area. The big ‘uns were nice and friendly, and our little 8.5 pound ball of love mixed fairly well with all of the attendees!
I will say, some of the owners need to watch out for their dogs better — it’s a caveat with a huge space, you lose the poop spots quickly. There were many little minefields all across the area, which we weren’t too keen on.
I think our experience was only tainted at the end because someone stole our leash off the communal spot where everyone had theirs, which is kind of annoying/​really jerky of them. Other than that, it’s a decent dog park. We’d come back if we had another puppy date with our friends :)

HUGE park! Too huge because like I said in a previous dog park review my Bella (boxer) loves to run and she’s all over the place here. I’m the type that I have to be near her to keep and eye on her and it’s hard to do that here with it being so large.
Awesome park though and I haven’t ran into any mean owners

The Fort Woof dog park has been a great addition to my new puppy and my weekly traditions. She’s a pretty timid creature when it comes to other animals. After about our 4^th visit, she actually started playing with the other dogs and running around instead of living by my heels.
I love how the big doggies and little doggies have their own areas. both also have obstacles for your dog to play on or rub through. There’s so much space and it’s never felt crowded. Not much tree cover, so as it gets hotter, I can’t take her in the middle of the day.

I have two dogs: a Pointer (Gretel) and a Basset (Fred). They couldn’t be on more opposite ends of the spectrum. The dichotomy is normally great, like dog for any occasion. Need a buddy to watch football with on the couch? Fred is in. Want to go for a jog? Gretel would love to join. Want someone to be incredibly excited you’re home? Prepare to get double teamed.
The downside to two dogs with significantly different energy levels (and appetites)? Walking them by yourself is painful. Absolutely no synchronization to their pace! Gretel is 6 feet ahead pulling like crazy frantically hunting squirrels, Fred 6 feet behind peeing on EVERYTHING. Invariably there are always times that for one reason or another I have to get them out by myself. Thank the lucky stars I have Fort Woof.
Fort Woof is a pretty standard dog park. Open to anyone, with a big dog side and a small dog side. I don’t go over there, but the small dog side is significantly bigger than most. Nice to see that isn’t just an afterthought. Overall the terrain is pretty open and flat, with a few trees and plenty of benches. There’s a water station that gets the job done with plenty of poop bags (although their bags kind of suck).
The surrounding park is pretty cool. Often times people horseback riding will walk by the park, which really gets the dogs going. The park has some trails along with softball and soccer fields. One thing I like to do is walk the dogs around the softball fields before entering the park. This way lazy old Fred is assured to get at least a little exercise. The sidewalks around there are very wide and the area is mostly empty, so my out of control over-​sniffing dogs don’t interrupt some poor family’s peaceful stroll.
Overall a great dog park that I visit regularly.

Fort Woof ROCKS! «Miss Reba» my miniature Rhodesian Ridgeback (as least that’s what we THINK she is) loes Fort Woof. I’ve had her for a few months now and I take her to Fort Worth’s premier dog park as many times during the week possible.
It’s fantastic that the City of Fort Worth was able to furnish this wonderful facility for dog owners in Fort Worth. The park’s facilities are always clean and there’s plenty of places to sit and enjoy all the «dog joy» that is happening all over the place. I love watching all the dogs run in packs together. They may be strangers when they all meet but after just a few minutes they’re all life-​long friends.
One of the major pluses is that it’s a busy park with lots of dogs and owners. If the park isn’t busy, there’s no need to go. The whole purpose is to have other dogs available to play and run with. Normally when I drive up, there’s lots of dogs that Miss Reba can play and run with. Fort Woof is a first rate facility.

I was very surprised on seeing how large this dog park is. For the most part, the park is very clean with the exception of the occasional owner that is not watching their pet drop a deuce by the fence or obstacle. That happens, yet such is life.
I’m grateful that the park is split into two areas: large dogs, and small dogs. My dog is in the small category, and had no problem socializing with the other dogs. If he wasn’t running from one end of the park to the other, he was drinking out of one of several water bowls that was underneath a small enclosure towards the park’s entrance.
Parking isn’t a problem here. Tons of parking space all around. The dog park is located inside of a recreational area that also has soccer and softball fields. There are several benches within the park, and I’ve seen folks bring their own chairs. I highly recommend the later, considering that laying down on the grass just isn’t a good idea when you think about how many other dogs did marked their territory there.
Last, the hours are the park are really something. I was told that the park is open as late as 11 PM and as early as 6 AM on a daily basis? I could be slightly mistaken, however the hours are quite long in the day. Nonetheless, a pretty good park that I feel very comfortable taking my dog to.
