About

Elmwoof is a community gathering space and the first off-leash dog park in Oak Cliff, located at 2100 S Edgefield Ave. It began as a monthly pop-up event in 2013 and evolved into a modest, modular enclosure managed by the Elmwood Neighborhood Association. The park is not a City of Dallas park and relies on individual contributions and sweat equity for maintenance.

What people say

Elmwoof is celebrated as a vital, community-driven off-leash space that fills a gap for Oak Cliff residents, though its volunteer-managed nature requires users to actively maintain cleanliness and safety. The park is praised for its convenient location and social atmosphere but noted for lacking a fully fenced enclosure and relying on visitor cooperation for upkeep.
