Dog Areas in Apopka
Apopka is home to one dog park, the Doctors’ Dog Park. Open daily from 8 am until dark, the free park is where many locals and visitors come to let their dogs socialize and play off-leash. The park is located behind Edwards’ Field and covers a little over five acres. There are separate areas for large and small dogs, as well as a third area for dogs of different sizes (a great space for families with both large and small dogs). There are multiple trees for shade, as well as benches, water fountains (and the occasional kiddie pool for extra-hot days), a pet shower, and a pet memorial bridge.
On-leash dogs are allowed at the nearby Lower Wekiva River Preserve State Park. The park is well-known for the abundance of wildlife, including bears, alligators, river otters, and several species of birds. The beautiful Wekiva River and Blackwater Creek can both be seen from the Sand Hill Nature Trail – there is also canoe and kayak access for dogs who might need a little extra adventure on the water.
One of Florida’s most popular trails meanders through Apopka. The West Orange Trail is a combination surface trail (some sections are paved; others are wood-chipped or dirt) that covers 22 miles, linking Oakland to Apopka, through Orlando. Dogs and owners alike will love the sights (and smells!) of citrus groves and farmland.

#2 Tangerine
36Because there are not a lot of dog parks in the area, pet owners in Tangerine often hold pet meetups so their beloved pooches can socialize with each other. However, if you are not ready to meet new people through a website, you can always head to East Tangerine Park. This park is spread over 3 acres. It has a playground for children, footpath around the park and plenty of open grassy spaces. If you want your dog to run free, try going to the park in the morning when everyone else is sleeping. The park also has plenty of shade so you do not need to worry if it’s a hot summer day!

#3 Bay Ridge
24When you're not at the beach or lounging by the pool, take your dog to Sandhill Preserve in the neighborhood of Bay Ridge. This park has been classified as a rare habitat so you are guaranteed to see some extraordinary wildlife. Unfortunately this is not an off-leash park so you will have to take a leash, water and your own doggie poop bags. However, since the park is over 80 acres in size, you will get plenty of exercise walking through it on one of the many trails. Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes so you can keep up with your dog!Dog neighborhood? -
