Leashed dogs are permitted in most areas of Zilker Park in south Austin, and the park has a designated dog park at The Great Lawn where well-behaved dogs are allowed off leash.
There is also a dog swim area in Barton Creek known as Barking Springs, located just outside Barton Springs Pool.
Dog leashes must be no longer than 6 feet, and in-heat dogs are not allowed in off-leash areas.
