Confirmed from Henslee Dog Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Henslee Dog Park
“Great park, splash pad, playground, clean restrooms.”
“Dog park is really nice, water and shade, but people please pick up your dogs poop”
Great dog park. We used the large dog section. There is plenty of room for your dog to run around. They have a few agility obstacles set up that we used. Water for the dogs is available. Peaceful setting. Very well maintained dog park.
Great dog park. Nice grassy area, fully fenced. Water fountain for dogs and humans. Shaded spots to sit.
Visited for the first time today with my large dog. It was a weekday and the place was empty which was perfect for his first time. I love that they have separate areas for small dogs and large dogs. It's a very large open area with some shade and a water fountain.
Hensley Park is the place to be for several things water park for the kids dog friendly and the walking trails are wonderful get ready for a challenge,for your body to respond in a great way it's hot so dress light drink your water steady pace and you will make it just fine .
