East Dallas has severalย dog parks and many outdoor patios that cater toย furry friends, but Deep Ellum Bark Park, with a view of downtown, is a uniqueย urban park. Not only is it a great use of space beneath Good Latimer Expressway (between Canton Street and Commerce Street) it’s a dog art gallery. Twenty-five Dallas mural artists provided eleven foot high paintings on each of the TXDOTย pillars beneath the freeway. All dog related of course.
The Bark Park isย clean, bags areย plentiful for poop scooping, and there is wide openย space for dogs to romp and run.
The drawbacks: parking is metered (bring change) and there is no separate space for small dogs. Since this park is rarelyย crowded, neither issue has been a problem for me.
City dogs need space to burn off energy, a place to feel free. Deep Ellum Bark Park providesย it, along with a dose of art for the humans.
