Dog walking in Parkland

Town Center

Right in the heart of Parkland is the Barkland Dog Park, and it's a beloved spot in the community. In addition to small and large dog areas in the park, there is also a fenced-in common area and a fenced bath area. This dog wash area comes in handy for dogs who like to get messy at the park, so you can clean them up before you head home. This two-acre park is known for being very clean, and visitors are provided with waste disposal tools to keep it that way. There are also water stations for dogs, seating and shade for humans, and a paved walking path on both sides of the park.

East Fort Lauderdale

Whether you're just visiting Florida or you live there year-round, you'll want to spend as much time at the beach as possible enjoying that famous Florida sunshine!

This section of the beach is on the eastern shoreline of Fort Lauderdale, and there's a specific area that allows dogs as long as they are on a leash. To make the beach even more dog-friendly, the beach provides visitors with waste disposal items, water, and wash stations.
