Oakland Bark Park is a treasured city park for the dog owners of Oakland Park. Located across from…read moreEasterlin Park and next to the railroad tracks, it is the first dog park to open in the city. A second dog park, Wag Dog Park recently opened in Oakland Park besides Richard E. Giusti Heart Parcours. Bark Park is divided into two sections: one for smaller dogs and another for larger dogs. This division is a great feature to ensure safety for dogs of different sizes and strengths. All of the agility equipment was recently upgraded and there are plenty of benches for owners to sit and watch their dogs, as well as tree shaded areas to relax, especially important during the hot Florida afternoons. The park is also equipped with water stations, dog waste bags, and trash cans, so it's easy to clean up after your pet and stay hydrated during your visit. One thing that stood out to me and that I appreciated is that the grounds are regularly maintained, and there's minimal litter or debris. Oakland Park's commitment to their dog families is evident in the care they take in their dog parks which provide a welcome space for pups to exercise and pet pawrents to socially connect.

I'd say go check out this park at opening (7:30am) for your dog to get off leash time and make…read morecanine friends especially if you live close by. I went with my senior rescued dog M-F at 7:30 for 10+ years as I dropped my sons off to school but after a few situations with irresponsible owners (after work crowd,) I felt it wasn't worth the aggravation AND the vet bills!! I decided to give it another chance last week and this morning was 4th successful dog park morning excursion. After 4 good days for a freshman dog park puppy, I decided to give it a thumbs up . He's only 6 months old but a large breed and the current science says to wait until closer to age 2 for large breed males to get neutered so that can present a few issues with OG alpha males but the morning owners are VERY mindful, attentive and responsible and were very welcoming to me and my puppy. I'm not ready to go with both dogs yet as one is a 13 y/o female schipperke/border collie and belongs with the small dogs but hopefully in the near future I'll feel confident enough to bring both.

Went to this park today with the wife alongside my daughter's puppy. Close street parking and took…read morea nice walk along the paved path. To my surprise, there must have been one hundred kids and parents packing the playground, basketball court and baseball field. A few benches under a large shade tree to take a break from the extreme heat today. Noticed they had a 'Little Free Library' constructed next to the benches. Across the field at the South end of the park was a fenced in dog park where we took the puppy to play with another small dog and he loved it. A water fountain and doggy poop bags are offered. No shade whatsoever so beware.

Emerald Hills in Hollywood, Florida, is a residential neighborhood that developed around a…read morechampionship golf course established in 1969. Designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert Von Hagge, the course served as a focal point for the community as it hosted major PGA and USGA qualifiers. The community is considered to be one of the premier neighborhoods in west-central Hollywood combining quiet, upscale residential living with close proximity to urban conveniences and major transportation routes. Emerald Hills has several lovely parks including this one. Park amenities include a large dog park, gazebo, open green space, picnic areas, walking path, and a large, modern playground that was installed two years ago. The playground is several stories tall with tube slides and climbing structures. When I stopped by on a Saturday night for a quick walk around the park the playground rang out with the laughter of children having a ball while a number of parents were keeping careful watch. All of the parks in Emerald Hills are filled with families highlighting what a close knit community this is.

This is such a great idea to keep them apart , I have seen a few dogs in trouble. I like that near by there is a pavilion and playground for little kids. This park is close to the canal so I would be careful about letting the pooch free to roam. The dog park has a water fountain for the pets and also bathroom nearby. Parking is good. This park is in the back of the Stanley Goldman Memorial Park toward the left side . You will see the dog paw prints on the road.

This park is part of a 249 parcel of land that is split into east and west sides of Greynold's…read morePark. In ancient times, the Tequesta used the river for travel and in the 1800's, the Seminoles set up a trading post to service early Miami settlers. Later on the land was a limestone quarry. Dedicated in 1936, Greynold's is Miami's second oldest park. It was created by the Civilian Conservation Corps. which was part of Roosevelt's New Deal Program that was set up to provide work for Americans who were suffering from the Great Depression. The limestone from the quarry was used for the buildings in the park. Greynold's is one on my favorite parks in Miami. I have been to the west side but this was my first time visiting the east end. The park has a lot of beautiful trees which support the local bird population. As I was walking around I saw a red shouldered hawk swoop down for a meal. Park amenities in this part of the park include a restroom, dog park, and kayak launch. There is a vendor renting kayaks or bring your own. You can paddle up the Oleta River to the intracoastal, north into Dumbfoundling Bay and back to the launch. It is a 6-7 mile loop with nice scenery for most of the paddle. The only thing I dislike about Greynold's park is they charge $7 for parking on weekends. Parks are funded by tax payers so I am used to parking for free. Greynold's started charging for parking over a year ago and I am not sure why North Miami felt they needed to start doing that. Possibly they were trying to be like nearby Oleta River Park which also has kayak rentals and charges a similar fee for entrance to the park.
