Dog walking in Eagle Pass

Eagle Pass Center

Eagle Pass Center is the gorgeous downtown area of the city, backed by residential homes and the Rio Grande to the west. Right on the water is Shelby Park, a large park to play in that offers plenty of space, a paved trail along the water, a boat launch, and a fenced-in baseball field. Dogs must be on a leash in the park while they run, play, or walk around, even in the baseball field. San Juan Park is a much shadier park, with trees covering the area. There are paved paths around and throughout the park, connecting to a pavilion, a playground, benches, water fountains, and trash bins. There's even open space to play in, next to shaded sitting areas for relaxing and picnicking.

Loop 431/ N Bibb Ave

The Loop 431 and North Bibb Avenue neighborhood is a unique residential area with large open spaces. One of these is Kelso Park, a narrow place with recreational fields, open fields, and a shaded sitting area. There's a paved looping trail, basketball field, and playground to enjoy. The entire park is entirely fenced-in with water fountains and benches, but does requires pups to remain on a leash. More open space is available at the Pasquele DeBona Park, a fenced-in park with a looping trail, a basketball court, soccer fields, benches, and trash bins. Remember to bring water and clean-up bags for your pup.

Morales Circle Colonia

Morales Circle Colonia is a bustling community with large industrial and shopping districts, and surrounded by residential homes. For a lovely day out, head over to the Eagle Pass Lake with your pup. The dog-friendly park is located right on the shore of the lake, and although it doesn't have an official name, its known as the Eagle Pass Lake Park. Inside the park is a wide open area made of grass and sand, with covered picnic tables, restrooms, a pavilion, and a paved walking trail. Additionally, there's a fishing pier, fenced-in baseball fields, benches, and water fountains. The park also connects to the Maverick County Jogging Trail, a 1.3-mile paved trail. The trail is multi-use and is dog-friendly to leashed pups, but you'll need to bring water and clean-up bags.

Edison Road

Edison Road is a quaint little residential neighborhood on the south side of the city. The featured park of the area is the Nick Carr Sports Complex, a residential park with additional open space and walking trails. Dogs are welcome at the complex and can walk around the paved looping trail, run around in the open field, or play in the two fenced-in baseball fields and the soccer field. Additionally, there's a pavilion for picnics, a playground, shaded sitting areas, and water fountains available. The park is close to a rural trail without a name, made from dirt and grass that follows the nearby creek. The trail is open to pups, doesn't require them to be on a leash, and extends .7 miles.

E Main St/ Hillcrest Blvd

The East Main Street and Hillcrest Boulevard neighborhood is a suburban neighborhood east of the city's downtown area, with plenty of homes and small businesses. Besides a walkable area with lots of sidewalks and benches, the neighborhood offers the Jando Guedea Park as a place to play and walk with Fido. The park has a nice grassy area to play in, encircled by a paved walkway with large oak trees that line the edges of the park. There are plenty of shaded spaces, a sitting area, and a field to run and play in. Additionally, there's water fountains, benches, trash bins, and a covered playground available to leashed pups.
