   Just 12 miles from South Houston, within Houston proper, you'll find Alexander Deussen Dog Park. This off-leash, fully fenced park is the pawfect place for your pup to explore, roll around in the lush grass, and play with some new fur-iends. There are two separate areas for different sized dogs, and agility equipment adds to the fun. If you're looking for an on-leash stroll, hit the paved walkway for a nice, relaxing walk. Another nice perk is that there is a hose right as you leave so you can rinse the grass and dirt out of your pup's fur, or just let them cool down after playing. The dog park is part of a huge 309-acre community park, which your leashed dog is welcome to explore with you.
