Keenum-Shelton Dog Park

This is a pretty nice park for the dogs. It’s got two different sides for play. Both have fire hydrants tunnels and tires. Each with a picnic bench and then a bench on each wall. They have trash cans and even have bags of you didn’t bring any. I’ve been here twice now and both times there were not too many dogs. I liked it because I just got my dog and wanted to see how she would act with others. It worked out great. If you’re not sure if your dog is a fighter or not, bring them here to figure it out. You can introduce on the leash and let them go wild.

The park is divided in two sections. With one being big enough for 15 dogs (guesstimate give or take) to play comfortably but us owners need to bring our own on chairs, they have two tables and two benches on the very side and far back of the bigger section. The park hasn’t been crowned at all the times We’ve been here so I wouldn’t worry about chairs. The big section has a few obstacles for training on the corner closest to the door. A few trees scatter around, nice touch. They provide bags and of course trash cans lol but I would still bring my own bags just in case, I don’t know how often they refill supplies. The park is pretty clean so we want to keep it that way, a few people don’t care and they didn’t/don’t clean after their dogs. So please clean after your doggies. They have a smaller section also two benches and a table and obstacle course. They have water. Enjoy your day at the park!

It’s a great dog park. Very odd location. Not as busy as say Fort Woof off Beach St or as big. If Fort Worth had a park on the west side of town it would be great, as Fort Woof aka gateway park isn’t the greatest place to hang around after certain hours.

I love this dog park! My girls (golden retrievers) and I have been driving all the way to Fort Woof and just thought we’d try this place out because it is less than half the distance from home. So glad we did! There were about 8 other dogs that came and went while we were there, and all the owners were very friendly and chatty. I’m so excited to have a dog park closer to home. I also love that there aren’t 50 dogs running around crazy like at Fort Woof, and since it is smaller than Fort Woof, it was much easier to keep my eyes on the dogs to make sure no one was playing to rough or to make sure I didn’t miss a number 2. We’ll be back on Saturday morning!

The only problem with this dog park, particularly, is that no one’s ever there. I like for my dog to run off-​leash, but mainly I like her to socialize with other dogs and wear herself out.
The park is clean, well stocked with poop bags, and some seating and shade for doggie mommas and daddys.
Both times I’ve gone, I didn’t see a sign on which side was the small dog and which side was the large dogs, but since we were alone, I just guessed.
Not terrible, not great.

This was a strange location, and no dogs were there to play with mine. It is basically an acre of land in an old neighborhood. I felt like I was being disruptive to the surrounding backyards as I hollered at my pup. I would rather drive seven miles to the Fort Woof park because they have more space and more dogs.

The facilities at this park are excellent. They have separate Big Dog and Little Dog areas. There are obstacle course objects in both areas. The only down side of this nice little park, is that there are not enough doggies going there yet! Hopefully… Lucy and I will wee you Saturday or Sunday morning!
