Did you know that there’s a 15-acre park behind The Bush Center?! We didn’t ourselves until we took our pups out there for a walk through the trails and were blown away!

LAURA W. BUSH NATIVE TEXAS PARK
Did you know this Dallas park is open daily from sunrise until sunset with a network of paths that takes visitors exploring through native Texas environments? With seating areas, bridges, water features, and even boxes of bees along the way, it was a refreshing walk path that most Dallasites don’t know is here to utilize year-round! Before or after your walk, you can visit The Bush Center (as long as your pup isn’t with you!)
PUPS IN THE PARK
Kick off the fall season at Pups in the Park on the beautiful 15-acre park on the SMU Campus! Bring your furry friends next Saturday, October 18th from 10am to 12pm, and enjoy nature walks, dog-friendly treats, and the chance to meet other nature and dog lovers in the area!
DETAILS & HOW TO GET THERE
Find the park on the south side of the George W. Bush Presidential Center. Park in their lot across the street from the entrance of the Center, and please note that dogs must be on a non-retractable leash at all times, up to date on all vaccinations, and not aggressive towards people or other animals.
