Dog-Friendly Attractions in Beaumont

There are many ways to travel – solo, as a couple, with friends…or with your favorite paw-tner in crime. As more and more people are leaning towards road trips and drive destinations, there’s no reason Fido can’t tag – and wag -- along. Beaumont is extremely pet-friendly and here are our favorite not to miss sights, spots, and smells both you and your favorite four-legged friend can enjoy.

Dog playing at Ida Reed Dog Park

Ida Reed Dog Park

Beaumont’s first dog park is a place for your four-legged friends to safely socialize off-leash. There are separate fenced-in areas for small and large dogs with obstacles like teeter-totters and planks they can climb and jump on. There’s a water station, poop bags, and plenty of room to sniff.

Beaumont's Giant Fire Hydrant

Every dog owner needs to put this on their bucket list. This 24-foot dalmatian-spotted fire hydrant was donated to the City of Beaumont by the Walt Disney Company on March 9, 1999 for the re-release of the animated movie "101 Dalmatians."  Assembled at Disney Land in Anaheim, CA, the hydrant weighs a whopping 4,500 lbs and can blast 1,500 gallons of water a minute. It was once the world's largest working fire hydrant and stands outside the Fire Museum of Texas so it's more than just a photo-op.

If you have to go for a walk, why not make it a memorable one? You're stepping back in time when you take a stroll down Crockett Street. The five beautifully restored buildings were built at the turn of the 20th century, the perfect photo backdrop and downtown walking tour. Look out for the Crockett clock, which has giant brick steps you can post up on to people-watch.

You can borrow a pair of free binoculars from the wetlands education center to see how many of the 250 species you can spot. Just be careful to keep them on a leash as there are native gators around.
