Second official dog park in the Houston Parks & Recreation system. Dedicated in September of 2004, this community park designated approximately 12 to 13 acres of parkland as a place for dogs. The area features a fenced-in space for the dogs to exercise off leash, and amenities include doggie drinking fountains, seperate areas for large & small dogs, a doggie shower, a waste disposal station & benches throughout the space. Maxey Park Bark & Run Park was funded in part by the Houston parks & Recreation Department & revenue generated from from the 2003 City of Houston Birthday Celebration, hosted by then council member Annise Parker.
