At Texas Ruff House, we’re all about giving your dogs the best experiences, whether that’s daily walks, adventure-packed field trips, or just helping them stay happy and active while you’re away. One of our favorite ways to explore with dogs? Checking out the best dog-friendly parks in Georgetown, Texas!
Not all parks are created equal when it comes to dog-friendliness, and we’re super picky about where we take our pups. We look for wide trails, plenty of shade, and safe walking areas—because, as we’ve talked about before, we don’t recommend dog parks (here’s why).
So, if you’re looking for an adventure with your pup (without the stress of an off-leash free-for-all), here are some of our favorite Georgetown parks!
Berry Springs Park and Preserve
📍 1801 County Rd 152, Georgetown, TX 78626
Berry Springs Park and Preserve is a hidden gem in Georgetown is perfect for a peaceful, scenic walk with your pup. The park features beautiful trails, open fields, and even a pond where your dog can sniff out some new scents.
Why We Love It:
Spacious walking trails
Plenty of shade for hot days,
Picnic areas if you want to make a day of it
Leash Tip: We always recommend using a sturdy standard leash, not a retractable one. (Here’s why we avoid retractables!)
San Gabriel Park
📍 445 E Morrow St, Georgetown, TX 78626
A local favorite, San Gabriel Park has everything you could want in a dog-friendly space—tons of open green areas, paved trails, and easy river access. The San Gabriel River Trail runs through the park, offering a beautiful and relaxing walk along the water.
Why We Love It:
Plenty of space to explore,
Water access for dogs who love to splash,
Paved trails for easy walking
Blue Hole Park
📍 100 Blue Hole Park, Georgetown, TX 78626
A must-visit for nature-loving dogs! Blue Hole Park features stunning limestone bluffs and a peaceful section of the San Gabriel River. It’s an awesome spot to walk, take in the views, and let your pup enjoy the fresh air.
Why We Love It:
Gorgeous scenery for an Instagram-worthy walk
Shady spots to rest
Calm water areas for cautious pups to explore
Safety Tip: Even though your dog may love water, always keep them on a leash near the river (and anywhere else in the park). There can be currents, slippery rocks, and unexpected deep areas.
