AUSTIN (KXAN) — Houston, Austin and Dallas have new bragging rights in the Lone Star State following a survey searching for hidden gem dog parks in the United States.

Technobark, a company that writes about pet technology and gadgets, surveyed 3,000 dog owners across the country and released a list of the top 120 Hidden Gem Dog Parks. On that list were three Texas dog parks that were voted the best “hidden gems” in the state.

“Each park to make our ranking is a paw-printed pathway to delight and discovery,” said Gary Nealon of Technobark.com. “The best treasures are often found off the beaten path, so we hope our study helps dog owners to sniff out new adventures and create unforgettable memories with their furry friends.”

In Texas, coming in at No. 26 was Eisenhower Park in Houston. The park offers an off-leash area that provides dogs with plenty of space to romp and socialize with grassy fields and shade trees, according to the survey.

“Eisenhower Park also features walking trails and scenic views, providing a serene setting for dogs and their owners to enjoy outdoor recreation,” Technobark said.

The Austin and Dallas parks came in at #35 & #49 respectively.
