Happy Tails Dog Park (at G.T. Bray Park)

Once known as the Happy Tails Canine Park, the furbulous dog park at the G.T Bray Park in Bradenton, Florida has been expanded and gotten a new name! Now called the Laurie Crawford Dog Park, this puptastic off leash area spans 4.25 acres and has lots of pawtastic amenities. A parking lot within the park is just minutes away from the dog park on paved walkways.

This fully fenced in dog park in the northeast section of G.T. Bray Park features a separate area for small or elderly dogs, so all pups can feel safe! With a dirt covering and shaded areas, pups will love to romp and play here in utter freedom. Multiple pavilions, picnic tables and benches are on site for you to relax on while your dog cavorts with canine friends. Water fountains are pawfect for thirsty pups, and there's even a washing station. Help keep this play space clean with convenient on site clean-up bag dispensers and trash cans.

Dogs who want to come run at this woofderful dog park must have a current license tag and be current on their rabies vaccinations. Be sure to stay in view of your dog at all times, and keep them under voice command. If you've got a digger on your hands, just be sure to fill that hole back in before you leave. And keep the snacks at home, as no food is allowed inside the dog park.

If your pup is done with socializing, but still has energy to spare, clip that leash back on and explore G. T. Bray Park. Children can enjoy a variety of different sports such as baseball, basketball, and football, as well as take advantage of the skate park and biking opportunities. 

There are also tennis and horseshoe courts, making G. T. Bray Park an ideal spot to take the entire family.
