Methodology: how we count
We count published directory listings, not every dog park in Texas. A feature counts only when a listing explicitly says yes. Free entry counts listings marked fee=no. Public access counts listings marked public or yes. Percentages use all published listings, rounded to one decimal place. Unknown does not mean no. Cities follow the city name on each listing. Regions use the same coordinate and county override rules as our homepage.
Sources include city and operator websites. We also use OpenStreetMap contributor data under the Open Database License (ODbL). The date below is our latest source check. It does not mean every listing was checked that day.
OpenStreetMap-derived data is subject to the ODbL. City and operator source material keeps its own applicable terms.
