About this park
Bundy Dog Park is a hidden gem in the Shaw/Truxton Circle area, offering a clean and well-maintained urban escape for local pups. The park features a unique, long, and narrow layout that is perfect for high-energy dogs to enjoy 50-meter sprints. With its modern synthetic turf and clean gravel, it's an excellent choice for owners who want to avoid the mess of a traditional dirt park. While the park is compact, the local community is very active and has even installed shade sails to keep the area comfortable during sunny days. However, because there is no physical separation between large and small breeds, it is important for owners to stay vigilant. The park is nestled right next to a playground and soccer goal, providing a lively atmosphere, though the sounds of nearby sports may be startling for more sensitive dogs.

I love bringing my pup here, for the most part people are so nice, it's well maintained even if you have to bring your own water to fill the bowls. Be aware that there are some dog owners who bring their reactive dogs here on a regular basis. I've started to figure out who to avoid, but just keep close watch on your dog and other dogs around them.

I've gone to this dog park twice. Once during lunch and once in the afternoon. I thought I was going to love it. It's very clean, fake green turf, and a long stretch of grass with ample room for dogs to run. My dog is a small dog, very friendly, loves to play and has gone to many dog parks. The second time I went was after work my dog was almost mauled upon entering by multiple dogs. We couldn't make it 1 foot past the entrance. My dog cried multiple times, I went to grab her only to have another dog knock her out of my hands. Then a second time I went to pick her up and another dog lunged at me and bit me. No one reacted quickly. Everyone just kind of stood by and let this happen. I would not recommend anyone with a small dog to come here. I am going to say this dog park is not safe. The dogs are not trained well enough. I would recommend the park to have 2 small dog hours a day. At separate times so people with small dogs can bring their pets and know they will be safe.

Dogs seem really happy here, they can make sprints of like 50 meters here. The only down side is that ppl are shooting at the goal right next to the park. Some dogs like it and want to play, others get scared. Oh no restrooms!!!

It's a small but nice area and seems well-kept. However, there is no separation for large and small dogs. Every other dog park I've visited has this.
