The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Alachua

Central Alachua

The Alan Hitchcock Theatre Park on Main Street is a unique spot that shouldn't be missed! Nestled among shops and restaurants, this park is set inside an abandoned building, giving off a vibe that's both mysterious and charming. Don't forget to bring your camera and take photos of your pooch! This offbeat site attracts weddings, artists, and shoppers looking to rest their tired feet. After checking out the Alan Hitchcock Theatre Park, cross the street to the Main Street Pie Co. to grab a bite to eat. This pizzeria serves stone oven pizza that you can enjoy at an outdoor table with your best friend by your side.

Alachua Hilltops

This neighborhood houses some dog-friendly eateries where you can enjoy a good meal with Fido in tow. One option is Mi Apa Latin Cafe, which specializes in Cuban food and coffee. There are a few pup-friendly outdoor tables out front, so order up and dig in. If you're in the mood for something cold, Frosty Jack's Frozen Yogurt is just a stone's throw from Mi Apa. Frosty Jack's offers different flavors of frozen yogurt, Italian ice, and sorbet, as well as a large assortment of toppings. Share your sweet treat with your doggo on one of the outdoor benches in front of the store.

Dogwood Acres

Is your pup up for a camping trip? Then park your RV at the Travelers Campground! Situated on shaded grounds with rolling hills, this pet-friendly RV park features about 150 full hookup and pull-thru sites. Other amenities include 20/30/50 amp service, phone hookups, a laundry room, swimming pool, free Wi-Fi, and free cable. There's even an on-site ATM and store if you need to get anything. To keep four-legged guests happy and healthy, the Travelers Campground also includes an off-leash dog park. The dog park contains agility equipment and lots of room to run around, so Fido will definitely be tired and sleeping like a log when you return to your RV.

Hammock

The San Felasco Hammock Preserve State Park is one of the few remaining mature forests in the state. Covering 7,360 acres, this site encompasses climax mesic hammocks, limestone outcrops, sinkholes, steephead springs, and other interesting features. San Felasco is home to miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, and Fido is permitted to join you on the hiking trails. To access the trailhead, head to Millhopper Road in Gainesville, about 8 miles southeast of Alachua. The distances of the nature trails range from 0.9 to 5.6 miles, accommodating hikers of different skill levels. Dogs can use the trails provided they remain on a 6-foot leash.

North Alachua

Take your adventurous pup to the Mill Creek Preserve right in Alachua for a day in the Florida outdoors! This 1,200-acre site offers nearly 5 miles of trails that will take you and Fido among spruce pines, swamp chestnut oaks, and beech. The abundance of trees means that the preserve never gets too hot, so you can still stop by on warmer days. Visitors say the trails are well-marked and well-maintained, making the hikes pleasant and easy. Doggos are welcome on the trails as long as they are leashed and cleaned up after. Remember to bring enough food and water for you and your pooch, and pack out whatever you pack in!
