The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Ruskin

Orchard Park

Most dogs love to run and romp in wide open spaces, and Dr. Ott’s Dog Park in the Orchard Park neighborhood is perfect when your pooch needs some exercise. There are two separate areas for large and small dogs and a quarter mile track around the big dog side. Fido can frolic in the grass and socialize with other pups while owners sit on shaded benches and chat while watching their dogs play. You will need to bring your own doggie waste bags to clean up after your pooch. If you are looking for a nice place to spend the night in town, check out the Ruskin Inn where two dogs are welcome for an additional fee.

Marsh Branch

The Ruskin Commongood Park is popular for boaters, fishermen, and dog lovers. Neighbors in the area who own boats are often found taking their pooch for a ride down Ruskin Inlet, or lounging by the bank trying to catch some fish. The wide-open spaces are also a great place to walk Fido and let him chase a ball and stretch his legs. You can watch all the activities from a bench, but you will need to bring your own water bottles. There are trash cans in the park, and be sure to bring doggie waste bags to clean up after your pup.

North Branch/ Heron

A unique and popular destination for Fido and his family is Pirates Point Fishing Resort at the mouth of the Little Manatee River. Pets are allowed at the resort, but you will need to keep Fido on his leash and be sure to clean up after taking him for a walk. You can spend time on the water canoeing, or hanging out near the river fishing and enjoying the sun. The kids will have fun with the heated swimming pool, and the units feature all the amenities of home, just bring your pup’s dog bed. People who are looking for a great vacation spot where Fido will have an pawsome time should check out Pirates Point.

E.G. Simmons Parkway

Developed from 258-acres of mangrove swamp, the E.G. Simmons Regional Park is a great place to walk your pup. The paved trails through the area make it easy to stroll with Fido and the kids. You can admire the gardens and natural areas or let the kids play in the recreation area. After walking the trails, you can take a break at the picnic area and refill your water bottles before heading home. Or if you are looking for a staycation, consider pitching a tent at one of the camping spots and spend quality time with your pup and family around a cozy campfire.

Gulf City

Spending time at the Cockroach Bay Preserve State Park is fun for the entire family, including Fido. The preserve is located near Little Manatee River, and you can walk through the area and admire the mangrove swamp. You will need to keep your pup on a leash, and there are no water fountains or trash cans available, so be prepared to bring water bottles and bags to dispose of your trash. If you enjoy getting back to nature, exploring through different types of trees and plants, and encountering horseshoe crabs which early explorers called cockroaches - this is the perfect place to spend quality time with your pup.
