Dogs -- the furry, friendly companion that's ready and willing to go anywhere with us in Texas. Today, you see people taking their dogs almost everywhere with them. To restaurant patios, shopping, farmers markets, and anywhere else they're allowed.

Honestly, as a dog owner, I understand the desire to take them everywhere. After a while, they become like family -- or essentially a built-in bestie. There is just something about having a dog around that's relaxing and makes activities more enjoyable.

While you see pups everywhere these days, I think it's fair to say the most sightings of owner and dog together are at Texas parks. 

I think Parks are one of the best places to take dogs

While parks are great for us people to relax and enjoy nature, they can also be enjoyable for dogs. At the park you can walk your furry friend around, let them meet other dogs, and become more socialized and friendly in general.

At some parks, your dog can even be let off the leash to chase toys, make friends, and get out some energy. So all-in-all, parks are just great in general!

While any park would work for taking your furry friend on an adventure, there are three in Texas that were recently named "Hidden Gem Dog Parks," by Technobark. So arguably, they could be considered some of the best for dogs in the state!

What are the 'Hidden Gem Dog Parks' in Texas?

Of the 120 dog parks mentioned on the list, three are right here in Texas. These specific parks are said to be not so well known, except to those who live nearby.

The NO. 1 dog park in Texas is Eisenhower Park in Houston. There are multiple off-leash areas to explore and run around in.

Followed by this park is Red Bud Isle in Austin -- a park where dogs are free to be off-leash!

Coming in third is NorthBark Dog Park in Dallas. A park specifically for dogs, where they can run around without the restrictions of a leash.

For the most part, these parks are spread throughout Texas, but they are all in big cities. However, most cities or surrounding areas have parks. I encourage you to find a park that you and your dog can enjoy together. Who knows, it may even be better than these three!
