What People Are Saying

The fence is pretty low for a dog park so be weary if your dog is athletic
I want to like this dog park so much. Its very dusty out there, the doggy bag containers were empty and people arent picking up after their pets
This is overall a nice dog park with plenty of space for the dogs to run and play

About John Stiff Memorial Dog Park

A popular spot in Amarillo, John Stiff Memorial Dog Park is a spacious area where dogs can run freely and play fetch, thanks to the ample room and provided tennis balls. While the park features benches and some shade trees to help you relax, the low fence might be a concern for more athletic dogs, as some reviews noted. The park also includes one water station at the front, which can be a bit tricky to use due to high pressure, but with a little patience, it can be adjusted to a normal flow.

Visitors appreciate the large size of the park and the friendly community, with many mentioning that most dog owners do their part by cleaning up after their pets. However, the cleanliness of the park is a bit of a mixed bag; several reviews highlighted issues like muddy areas and the occasional empty doggy bag container that could detract from the experience. Despite some concerns, many locals are hopeful about ongoing improvements.

Parking is available nearby, making access easy for those looking to enjoy a day with their furry friends. Although there is only one large play area—an addition of a separate small dog section would be welcome—the overall vibe is welcoming. Many dog owners find this park to be a part of their daily routine, and with a bit of TLC, it could become an even better place for both dogs and their humans.
