Dog Walkers in Northeast Dallas

Northeast Dallas sprawls out from US Highway 75 on the west all the way up north to Richland College, doing a zig-zag path down east of Highway 635, and coming to a end just south of East NW Highway. It is a big community that is comprised mostly of the Lake Highlands neighborhood and Vickery Meadows in the western corner. Many smaller neighborhoods make up this large portion of the Dallas suburbs.  

Sadly, even with such a large territory to explore, there are not many dog-friendly local businesses here. You can find the chain restaurants scattered throughout and they do welcome pups at their outside tables.  

Keep an eye on the Texas weather as it has been known to change quickly in the spring and winter. Ice storms can pop up from time to time that close the city down. Thunderstorms in the spring can bring large amounts of rainfall in short periods that can cause flooding.

This is a large territory, home to several neighborhoods, terrains and experiences. In the Lake Highland neighborhoods, you will find some gentle, rolling hills. It won’t be an uphill battle but rather a gradual climb for you and your furry friend. The Vickery Meadows area has some apartment communities as well as some retail spots. You and  your canine companion will get both a residential experience and some areas of heavy sidewalk and concrete paths. Richland College rests in the upper northwest corner and offers an alternative to the residential walking experience. White Rock Creek flows almost down the center of the community and offers a more natural experience along its shores.  

You and your furry friend could not traverse the whole of this community in one walk. You might look up some of the specific neighborhoods to learn more about the area you and your pup are in before heading out!

Over 150,000 folks make up Northeast Dallas and the city provides many parks and green spaces throughout the community for folks to enjoy. Some major parks in this area make up over 875 acres. With 26 miles of trails, it puts the outdoors at your beck and call! 

White Rock Lake runs almost down the center of the area and is home to the White Rock Lake Dog Park, the happening dog park in Dallas. This hot pup spot even has a fenced-in swimming area!  Meanwhile, White Lake Park has a 9-acre that runs through it and a good portion of that falls inside this neighborhood. 

Lake Highlands Park is a rolling 36-acre park with every amenity under the sun. Lake Highlands North Park on Church street gets high marks from neighbors. With its lake and walking trails, this park offers a relaxing on-leash experience for your pup and a peaceful walk for you.
