The Gary B. Jones Park For People And Pups is a dog park in Tamarac, Florida. There is a big parking lot a convenient two-minute walk from the entrance to the dog park. Just because the parking lot is close to the gate doesn't mean dogs are allowed to run off-leash from the lot to the dog park; they should be kept leashed until inside the staging area.
This off-leash dog park in Tamarac is a vast grass field which has been split into two sections. The Tam-A-Bark Run is the off-leash area reserved for exercising large dogs, and the Wiggley Field is for pups weighing in at under twenty-four pounds. The entire off-leash dog park has been made secure with a post and chain-link fence.Â
Both sections of the field at the Gary B. Jones Park for People and Pups have paved walking paths running through them, pavilions, and seating for pet owners as well as dog-friendly water fountains. A dog wash station has also been installed, and there are multiple poop bag dispensers which always have a good supply of bags.
The Gary B. Jones Park For People And Pups welcomes all breeds of dogs including Pit Bulls, though Pit Bull breeds are required to be registered with the Tamarac City Clerks office before using the facility. There is a three dog maximum per handler no matter what the breed and any dog that is temperamental or troublesome has to be taken from the off-leash area.Â
Pet owners are held responsible, not only for the comportment of their pet but also for bagging any poop they produce. The grass covering in the Gary B. Jones Park for People and Pups is exceptionally well-maintained, so scooping all the poop makes sure it stays that way. This is important for the cleanliness and the health of everyone who enjoys the park.

These range from Halloween parties to yappy hour parties to sit on Santa's knee parties which all add up to lots of canine fun. Take a trip to the Gary B.
