While not an actual dog park, Stone Creek Park is one of Flower Mound’s most popular attractions and the perfect place to take your canine companion. This park features plenty of trails where even the most energetic pup can burn off some excess energy. Leashed dogs are welcome on the trails, and clean-up backs are provided throughout the park. The trails are well-maintained, and the park also features gazebos and benches for pet parents and a stream where your dog can take a swim. Scenic views make Stone Creek Park a favorite among locals as well as visitors to the area.

Just 25 miles northeast of Flower Mound is the town of Frisco, home to the popular Ruff Range Dog Park. Located in the southwest corner of B.F. Phillips Community Park, 3335 4th Army Memorial, this 2.5-acre dog park has open space with hills, trees and more for canines to explore. After a hard day of play, stop by Twin Peaks restaurant to enjoy burgers on the patio with your four-legged friend. Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is another Frisco favorite where diners can enjoy Southwestern and Mexican cuisine. Their large menu ensures that just about everyone will find something to enjoy.

Just on the other side of Grapevine Lake lies the town of Southlake. When you’re in town, be sure to check out BooBoo’s Buddies Dog Park. Located at Bob Jones Park, this dog park includes a separate area for small dogs. There are shaded areas and benches as well as water spigots to keep thirsty hounds well-hydrated. Just remember to bring your own bowl! One thing to note is that this park is covered in mulch and gravel rather than grass. If your dog has long hair, he may bring home some of the parks’ ground covering in his coat.
