Dog walking in Taylor

Dolan St

Fannie Robinson Park is 55 acres of room to roam. There's so much to do here that your pup won't want to leave! You and your dog can walk the trail system, which is paved and has trash cans along the way. Or, you can play ball on one of the 4 ball courts. There is plenty of green space to sit and enjoy the quiet. You will want to bring water, as dogs are not allowed in the bathrooms. Doggie waste bags are not provided either, so you will want to bring your own. Most areas of the park require pups to stay on-leash, but there are spots where you are allowed to let your pet off their leash if he is voice trained and well-behaved.

Dellinger

Bull Branch Park has a duck pond that you can walk around and enjoy. There are fish in the pond, so bring a rod and reel and cast a few lines with your buddy by your side. This is a leash-only park, because the ducks run the show here! Make sure Fido doesn't get too friendly with the ducks, as the park strives to keep them safe. There are restrooms located beside the baseball field, but they are only open when there is a game. Bring your own water. Don't forget your doggie waste bags as well. Bring some treats for the ducks -- keeping in mind that bread is actually bad for ducks! -- but be warned; they aren't very forgiving to picnics!

2nd street

Masfajitas is the best place to stop and enjoy some authentic Mexican food. They allow pets in the smoking area, which is outdoors, as long as they are well-behaved and on a leash. The staff won't serve your dog, so be sure to bring a water dish for him. This is the place to come for fajitas, quesadillas, and of course, tacos. If you'd rather have American cuisine than Mexican fare, dive into a burger and fries or a seafood dish. No Mexican restaurant is complete without adult beverages! Try a margarita or sip your favorite beer while you wait on your food to arrive.

Harris Ridge

Harris Ridge Dog Park is the perfect place to bring your dog to run and play with other dogs. It is about twenty miles from Taylor. This fenced area is the pawfect place to take off your pup's leash and just let her roam free for awhile. You'll have everything you will need while you are here. The drinking fountains are clean and designed just for dogs. The cleaning stations are well-stocked, and the trash cans emptied frequently. This is a great dog park because the owners seem to really care about the park and maintain it very well.

Lake Creek Park

Round Rock Dog Depot is a smaller dog park located in Round Rock, just under twenty miles from Taylor. This is a furrific place to let your pup get some much-needed leash-free exercise. There is a water fountain to play in, as well as plenty of drinking fountains. The cleaning stations are always stocked and ready for you to use. You and your dog can play on the agility equipment together, or you can sit back and relax while Fido makes some new friends! It is a great dog park, even if it is on the small side, to come and spend a couple of hours. It's also pawpular with locals, so you're bound to make some new buddies.
