Dog Park FAQ'S

The Town of Trophy Club Parks and Recreation Department established and
maintains Freedom Dog Park. Suggestions or concerns should be communicated to the Parks and Recreation Department at 682-831-4603.
2. When will the agility equipment arrive?

installed mid-late October.
3. What if I see someone break the dog park rules?
Freedom Dog Park was established with the concept that dog owners would police themselves, and each other. If you see someone who forgets the rules (i.e. forget to pickup poop) politely introduce yourself, remind them of the rule, and thank them when they comply with the rule. Trophy Club is full of friendly folks who want to do the right thing. That’s the Trophy Club way!
4. Does my dog need a license to come into the dog park?
Yes. Each dog must have a dog licnese from the Town of Trophy Club. Licenses from other cities will be honored, too. However, if you live in a city that does not require a license (like Haltom City), you must get a license from another
municipality.
5. Does my dog have to have a current rabies shot to come to the dog park?
Yes.
6. Can my newborn puppy come to the dog park?
No. Dogs must be at least 4 months old and have their rabies shots to come to the dog park.
7. What should I do about an aggressive dog?
First, remove your dog from the situation. Second, (if it is safe) politely tell the dog's owner that you feel their dog is aggressive and ask them to take some action to control their dog or leave the park. If you do not feel safe or a polite request has no effect, call 911. It is up to users of Freedom Dog Park to police each other in a friendly manner to keep our dog park safe for all.
