On Friday, D.C’s Ward 7 celebrated the opening of the Texas Avenue Dog Park, the first dog park east of the Anacostia River.
This is the first dog park East of the River, with two fenced dog play areas for small and large dogs.
At a park opening, Mayor Bowser gave remarks:
“This dog park is not just a recreational space, it’s part of our commitment to equity and accessibility. Residents in every part of D.C. have pets, and they need safe spaces for their dogs to play and exercise. And by creating designated spaces for dogs, dog parks also help us keep other parks and green spaces safe and clean,” Mayor Muriel Bowser said.

The Texas Avenue Dog Park features two fenced dog play areas for small and large dogs, a mulch surface, shaded seating, water fountains and grills.
The groundbreaking happened late last year.
