Millie Bush Bark Park
Houston's most famous off-leash park, set inside the massive George Bush Park and run by Harris County Precinct 4. Two securely fenced sides (large and small dogs) each wrap around man-made ponds where dogs swim, with wooden ramps to help them in and out.

Good to know
- Multiple real swim ponds with dog ramps — a genuine dog-swim destination; rinse at the on-site dog showers afterward, as pond water is unmonitored (algae/runoff after rain).
- Gulf Coast heat and humidity are brutal May–September; come at dawn or dusk, bring water, and watch for overheating even though dogs can cool off in the ponds.
- Double-gated entries on both sides; the park sits deep inside George Bush Park, so allow time to drive in from Westheimer Pkwy.
