Auditorium Shores Dog Park

"Beautiful off leash area but my dogs are runners, so only bring dogs that are trained to come back. Great views of the river and skyline, beautiful park, but parking is awful."

"The park has beautiful view of downtown and next to the one of the best trails in Austin. It’s a well maintained park and is also a great place for dogs."

"Its nice as far as there being enough parking, but the water surface water on most of the lake is a lot dirtier than the water at Red Bud Isle. Dogs didn't get access to much of the water, where as at Red Bud, there are several little areas with very shallow water giving the dogs a nice cooling off. Neither of them swim, so they are timid when they have to 'jumps to get in the water."

"Great spot for pups to play and cool off in the water. This off-leash area is inside the park and has water access points. There are shady areas and tables/seating to cool off at. It isn’t fully fenced in, there is just fence that corrals the dogs away from the road, but still has openings to enter. The worst part is finding parking. Our dogs had a lot of fun!"

"This is the only legally off-leash dog park that I'm currently aware off in Austin. It's a sizable fenced area to let your puppers run off excess energy and meet new friends. There are water fountains for humans and dogs within the enclosure, so no need to worry about dehydration. And during the hot summer months, there are multiple access points to the river so that the dogs can easily cool off in the water. It's a little difficult finding parking during the weekends and peak hours, but if you have a dog, I think it's worth it."
