This park has plenty of green space for my small dog . Has a nice roof top for me and my friends to chitchat and watch our dogs play. It has plenty of water stations available for dogs. A great asset to West kendall. read more

Wow, what a great park not too far from where I live now and considering that it's a weekend it wasn't that packed I found parking right away and my puppy Gizmo was so happy he just went in running! So many little dogs! There's a large and a small dog area. There is shaded areas so that you can sit with picnic tables. There's also plenty of benches and there's a water fountain for dogs so in case you forgot to bring water overall discharge is now our new favorite part in the Kendall area. Looking forward to coming back very soon. read more

Perfect place for my dogs to run a round freely. This place was lacking canopy tents for humans to be protected from the sun. Throughout the years they added some which has made the park more enjoyable. Other than that, I do enjoy bringing my babies to this park. They have a blast every time. read more

This doggie park is the closest to my house and it's one of my favorite. I like how they have a large dog and small dog sections. There are courses for more advanced dogs who can use them around the park. Restrooms are located right before you get it for men and women and there is also a food truck for people and for dogs as well. (: Leah our Boston Terrier loves this park even though it's her first time at a dog park she behaved very well and got alone with all the other smaller dogs and people. read more

Wasn't having the best of days. Decided one of the things that always brings a smile on my face are doggies. We use to have 4 ourselves but our last one passed last year. So we came to this dog park and oh man did we have the best time. First off they have so much space to run and there's 2 sections. One section is for the smaller the other bigger. We went by the bigger dog section first and it was hilarious. Once they were let off their leashes they went running around like crazy, running over our feet at times, chasing balls, or making new friends. Some dogs came up to us wagging their tails and the owners were all cool to let us pet them. On the smaller dog section there were alot of pups with big attitudes. It was hilarious. It was like they wanted their presence to be known. Alot more barking on this section but it was great. It was nice seeing alot of different breeds on both sections and how friendly all the dogs got along with eachother. For some people who werent to sure how their dogs would react they would walk them in with their leashes still attached. I really liked that all the doggies had a place to go to have fun, run around, meet new paw friends and even train on some.of the platforms placed. There are bathrooms onsite for the owners and there are bags provided to clean up after your dog. Also in each section are water fountains for both big and small dogs. When its time to go theres a doggy food truck with so many cute treats for all the doggies and dont worry, they have some human treats as well. They had treats like cookies, doggie bones, and even ice cream. Talk about a great spot for all your puppers, you definitely need to check it out whether you have a dog or not..its all smiles here! read more

LOVE LOVE this park for my little one! They have 2 sections, the left side is for large dogs (35 pounds or higher), right side is for small dogs (under 35 pounds) park does tend to get very packed especially after 6 pm when everyone gets out of work and parking can be an issue around this time. Parking is usually very clean and doggy bags are always available and they have a shelter with tables as well. 2 Bathrooms and water foundations are available when leaving as well! read more

Bark Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Miami, Florida

Took my mini Aussie here today and she had a blast! It wasn't too packed at 3pm but there were a few dogs around so she made some friends. We ran around and jumped over the agility ramp a few times; she loved it!! The owners were friendly and picked up after their dogs. One thing to note, my dog is 16 lbs so I was a little intimidated and unhappy when some people brought their larger dogs into the small dog side. Even if your dog is friendly, it can really scare the smaller dogs and their owners so please don't do that (there's a reason for the two different fenced areas!). It was my dog's first trip to a busy dog park and she was a bit freaked out by the big dogs. I grew up with big dogs so I love them but my dog has been attacked twice by large dogs whose owners claimed they were friendly and well behaved. There isn't much shade here so we didn't stay long, it was close to 90 when we went and we were running around the whole time. Parking looks to be an issue at peak times but it was ok today. read more

Bark Park - She was so happy to find a rogue tennis ball - Dog Parks Near Me - Miami, Florida

It's a terrific dog park! My dog recognizes the route we take to the park and can barely contain his excitement as we get close enough to see the small dog section. I have a photo of my happy dog as we arrived at Bark Park on Facebook. The sunsets to the west of the park are spectacular. People park their cars on the western side of SW 157th Avenue to view and snap photos of the western skies. You can see the sunsets from Bark Park as well. read more

Awesome dog park Nice walkways and plenty of of grass and space to run. Benches and tables to sit at.

I can only speak for the smaller dog side of the park. While the park is spacious and clean, I don't think I'll be returning. My dog is a mini schnauzer and he left the park with his legs covered in the pinchy hitchhikers. Perhaps for dogs with short hair, this park is ideal, but after the hour brush he had to endure after leaving, I don't think we'll be going back. read more

I've never had an issue with the place. It's actually a huge dark park divided into two parts. One for small dogs and one for bigger ones each section is pretty big as well. They have a few benches for people to sit on and they also have a walking trail that goes around the park Incase you want to walk. In regards to things that the park has for dogs to it has obviously other dogs for them to play with which they enjoy a lot, there's a water fountain for them and a shower like the kind that they have at the beach for you to wash sand off, and a grass field as well. The parking is two small parking lots and some parallel parking I've never really had an issue with it but maybe it's because it's not always packed when I go I guess I'm lucky because the parking gets full after. read more

Great park. 2 big and separate sides for small and large dogs. Always empty when i go so my shy pup has plenty of peace to explore.

I was shocked at the condition of the park on a recent visit. I used to go pre-COVID and it was a decent place to take your dog for a little diversion. I was disgusted by the amount of dog poop all over the place. Lazy, irresponsible people sit around looking at their phones while their dogs run free shitting all over the place. I was there for about 15 min and saw 3 dogs pooping and not 1 owner cleaned up. I honestly won't go back and have my dog walk around in that mess. PEOPLE PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOGS!! read more

I like this park, its a no frills county maintained park and in my opinion they do a pretty decent job with the maintenance of it. Heisenberg loves this park and he's a known regular at it since we visit 2-3 times a week, usually around 4-5ish. The people here are very friendly and the park has a walking around the neighborhood talking to the neighbors feel to it. Surprisingly enough its pretty quiet here and you wouldn't think that since its literally on located on the side of a busy road. Yeah not everyone picks up after their dogs (douchebags) but I'd say 90% of the owners do. The park is well maintained and clean and I really need to give it to the county for cleaning up the graffiti that some asshole left behind. pro's the built in puppy fountains the simple obstacles the conveniently placed human bathrooms the shade bungalows Woohoo they increased the parking area size con's built too close to a busy road making it a potentially lethal hazard if the dogs ever get out. the canal next to the park has the potential risk of having aquatic life visit the park. read more

This has to be my favorite dog park in Miami. It's a long stretch of land located somewhat near the executive airport in Kendall. There is a ton of space for my dog to run around, sniff the grass and the trees and explore on his own. There are two sides each with it's own entrance and double gates fpr security. (Which only work to keep our doggies safe if people remember to close the door behind them!) One side is for dogs under 35lbs and the other side is for dogs over 35lbs. My dog is right on the cusp so I take him to either side. We usually prefer the former so we can play with frisbee. You'll some times find an ice cream truck parked out front. I once mentioned doggie ice cream to him, maybe he carries it now. I haven't seen him in a while so I can't be sure. Parking is limited so if you can, you should carpool. Remember to not bring food inside the park...and remember if he poops, you scoop! read more

I love this park! Started going here so often w/ my dog. It's so clean! Well maintained. SO MUCH ROOM for them to run around in! There he's made plenty of friends! & so many people I've met, I've learned things from. There's a water fountain... & doggy clean-up stations. Plenty of obstacles. All I got to say is that if your dog is aggressive, don't take him to ANY park! & if you refuse to understand that, then YOU (YOURSELF) DON'T come out of your house! Had some lady push my pup off the bench yesterday! Then her dog tried to bite mine. Her dog was growling at everything -- even at air. It's my dog, my problem. My pup is about 8 months for your aggressive dog and aggressive personality to be in such an environment. Then find it weird that I got ticked about it. Really? Just expect to see more pawrents out there like me. "They're dogs" like she said to some. To many they're part of the family. read more

One word review: Disgusting. No bags available to pick up after your pet. REALLY?! NO BAGS?! There was poop EVERYWHERE. We spent about 10 minutes there before deciding that we would not find anywhere in that park that wasn't covered in feces. I spoke to one of the guys there with his dog, and I told him: "Man there is no bags here? What's up with that?" His reply was: "Who cares, I don't pick up....poop... anyways". What a jerk! Him and people like him are the reason this park is disgusting. Cool course, but deff not worth my dog getting sick with all the feces everywhere. read more

It's an ok dog park. It's has a small dog side and big dog side. I also like the little obstacle stuff they put in it. My little shih tzu loves to run up the little stair obstacle. Unfortunately there are lots of people that come to this park that are new to dog parks, so they don't know about dog park etiquette. Some people do not pick up after their dog and walk around with their dog on a leash. So you have to either watch out for land mines or watch out for aggressive dogs. The dog park supplies the people with dog bags to pick up after the dog and a water area. The county is doing a good job keeping up with it. read more

Bark Park - Exhausted from the park! - Dog Parks Near Me - Miami, Florida

See all

We returned to this park after a year away for Covid. The big dog half is now just plain dangerous. In three visits we witnessed three attacks. Numerous bad players with bad dogs. In one case, a large Husky picked out and attacked a rescue dog one third his size. Despite the smaller dog laying on his back to indicate submission, the Husky stood over him and continued to attack. Both the victim dog and it's owner were visibly traumatized. The Husky's owner explained that this was normal dog behavior, and there was no reason for him to leave. He further explained that he had no idea if his dog was going to be nice or mean from one minute to the next, and this was a perfectly normal and expected event, and acceptable behavior at a dog park. Large groups of dogs and owners gather under the shelter at the far end. These dogs have become a pack. Any new dog approaching their turf is vetted and intimidated by this pack. Only one actually attacked my dog, but a group of three Huskies came over to intimidate him. They surrounded him and pressed in against him. If you walk the single loop pathway, you are forced to pass this group. My dog likes all dogs and people. As we passed the gate after this encounter, my dog sat down to indicate it was time to leave. He has never in his life asked to leave a dog park. As I was trying to convince him to go one more time around, a dog fight broke out at the shelter. Dogs were ferociously barking and yelping and owners were yelling and running after their dogs. I was not close enough to see, but from the sounds and duration, I have to believe there was blood involved. If you value your dog's physical and emotional well being, stay away. Definitely do not bring small children. It is a shame that Miami-Dade County has built such a nice park and completely neglected to enforce the park rules and protect its users. read more

This park is absolutely wonderful. It is huge and offers your four-legged pal lots of room to run around and have a good old time. I would rate this 5 stars except that all the doggy bag stations are empty and there are messy patrons that inconsiderately leave poop on the floor (I can't blame the park for having messy patrons) Upon exiting the park we noticed a lady that had her car broken into in plain daylight. She returned to her car with shattered windows and apparently her purse had gotten stolen. I recommend you take your bag with you to avoid this. Overall an excellent place for your pet to romp and roll just watch out for the poop mines and be mindful of your belongings. read more

Nice big open park. Standard dog obstacles. I go here almost every day because its so close to my home. But tend to go to other parks on the weekend because there are better parks with nicer views.

Bark Park - People that didn't pick up their dogs poop. - Dog Parks Near Me - Miami, Florida

I've been a fan of this park for so long. I went today for the first time since quarantine began and within a few minutes of being there a Parks & Rec employee enforced us to wear masks AND keep our dog on leash the whole time. There were only two other people at the park (on the complete opposite side of us & one on the large dog side) yet these rules were being strictly enforced. As soon as the employee talked to everyone, we all left. What's the point of bringing your dog to the park if he can't enjoy it? We understand it's not the employees fault nor his rules...this is just a heads up to anyone planning on going to Bark Park soon. read more

I brought my dogs here for the first time last weekend and they loved it! It's a lot larger than the other Bark Park by my house, and the great things is that they have 2 zones, one for big dogs, and one for small dogs. They had such a great time. They ran around like crazy, played with other dogs there, and took care of business, if you know what I mean, lmao! The park has a water fountain for them to drink out, and poopy bag stations everywhere. There are even obstacles for them to climb on, jump over, and run under. The park is maintained very well, and everyone is very respectful about cleaning up after their furbabies. I definitely recommend bringing your pooch here for fun. They will absolutely love it! read more

We took our husky here for the first time today. Honey is almost 3 months old and was a bit apprehensive about all of the dogs. After she discovered the fountain, the tall grass, and how fun it was to run and roll around with a bulldog, she really came out of her shell. The bag dispensers were full, and I saw little to no trash. Some owners didn't pick up their dogs poop, but I think when your dog is zooming around going crazy, you might miss a pile here or there. All in all, we had a wonderful time. Great people + Great dogs = a very tired husky! read more

Bark Park - One of the two picnic table spots in the under 35 pounds area. - Dog Parks Near Me - Miami, Florida

When I used to live in the Hammocks I was a regular at this dog park! I like that it's enclosed, has a track, and lots of shade and tables for sitting and relaxing. There are also lots of equipment in the middle of the field that your pup can use. My own pup is lazy and mostly just likes to sniff around. I enjoy walking around the track area or sitting in the back at the table in the shade. The park is almost always pretty busy so it's also a great place to meet your neighbors. The only con is that there are a lot of mosquitoes in the Summer so during that time I bring bug spray. This park is an asset to the area. I no longer live around there but when I'm in the area I like to pass by our old stomping grounds. read more

There's not much happening in West Kendall. We have U-Pick. And BJs. (Of the wholesale ilk. I know that disappoints many of you.) Does having one of the most bad ass dog parks in the County level the playing field, with, say...Brickell? Hell no. I have seen creatures (bugs?) the size of newborn infants escape from their home in the neighboring Everglades and subsequently attempt to procreate on MY CAR. So, thank you urban planning gods for tossing West Kendall a proverbial "bone" (HA!) and giving us this cool little playground for our furbabies. Sponsored by PetSmart, this park boasts 6.5 acres full of tricks, grassy knolls, fountains and a little shaded area with picnic tables for pooches to play, poke, sniff and pee. The park is split in half to accomodate Hulk-esque bow wows on one side (35 lbs +) and their teenie tiny counterparts on the other. Parking is free, but always packed to the rafters...why? Because it's West Kendall!!! There's only so many times you can scam free samples from the aisles of BJs before life gets stale, ya know? The locals have discovered a new way to get out of the house and include the pets and kids - it's a madhouse after 5pm. One quick observation/suggestion for my fellow West Kendall Dog Parkees: As rad as it would be to have a dog that could READ, it just ain't happening peeps. So guess what...? That leaves it up to us to take a gander at the pleasantly illustrated signage at the dog park kindly reminding us to pick up our dog's piles of hot, steamy mud pies. I live here, darn it. And I don't want my lovely new dog park to have a perma-poo reak. So, please do not heed the words of Triumph the Insult Dog...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5g_gs6nnyo Enjoy the park, chat up the locals, watch your dog frolic in the fountain...but please remember, this is not a place for you to POOP ON. Or your dog for that matter. All in all, 4 Paws Up for the West Kendall Dog Park! read more

Never again. Sadly, this is the closest doggie park for us. I haven't been here since around October. So we went there today, since the day was absolutely beautiful. Miami dog owners have to be the worst on the planet! There are freakin' land mines everywhere! Literally, EVERYWHERE. Including the sidewalk! Whether there are bags available or not, these people will not pick up after their dogs. There were bags at the dispensers today. I watched owner after owner watching their dog take a dump then walking away. Made my blood boil. I should have chased them around with baggies. I do carry my own regardless. Although if you read my last review, my pooch is pretty shy about pooping in public. Oh, and what about those that take their gigantic doggies into the small dog area? I have been to doggie parks all over the country and absolutely nothing comes even close to the nastiness of this park. So thanks to these jerks, my puppy was only allowed less than 5 minutes to play. And she won't be coming back here again. Too bad, because it is a nice area. only ruined by not nice people. This is a public park. The county can only do so much. Keep the lawn mowed, etc. As a taxpayer, I do not expect to have to pay for a county employee to be there at all times to clean up after the pups whose parents feel like they are too good to pick up their freakin' poop! The way it is now, I see them closing the park due to the inconsiderate dog owners that use the park. And I wouldn't blame them one bit! I would actually be willing to volunteer to it at the park for a week and hand out fines! I would make a gazillion dollars in one week alone! We need to find a new park. Any suggestions? read more

This park is actually pretty awesome. I read some of the previous reviews, and I would disagree with most of them. Perhaps the hour I went by (1ish pm) or the people that were there with their dogs, who made the park so much more enjoyable. I thought it was clean, some people obviously did not pick up after their dog, but overall it was not like I was stepping on poop step after step and well, It is a dog park. It is easy to access, parking is not a problem, and the amenities were appropriate. Not the BEST park, but definitely a good place to have the pups run. If you live in the area, this is a good park. Try it! read more

Two major warnings for anyone coming to this dog park: 1) Aggressive and mean dogs, and 2) Cars getting broken into. We've brought our dog here a few times over the past year with little incident, until recently. The parking lot recently expanded and the dog park is much more crowded than normal. As a result, there are A LOT of aggressive dogs at this park. In one trip, my dog was attacked twice by very dominant dogs (she's a submissive one so luckily it didn't escalate into a fight). I counted three male dogs who were not neutered, at least three dogs big/strong enough to need harnesses, and another in a MUZZLE!!! A word to all dog owners: if your dog is aggressive, dominant and attacks other dogs, you have absolutely no right to endanger other people's pets by bringing them to the dog park. Secondly, a lot of cars get broken into at this place. Just today, two cars were broken into and everything valuable was stolen out of them. The field is big and the parking lot is kinda far away, so someone can easily break into your car while you are making sure your dog doesn't get mauled to death. Also, there are no security cameras, so there's no way to catch who did it. If you come to this dog park, make sure you leave nothing valuable in your car. And if you have a nice car, I suggest not bringing it at all (they go after the nice ones). All in all, this is a horrible dog park. Terrible people bring their vicious dogs to attack your dog, while other terrible people break into your car. I will not be bringing my dog back here ever again. read more

Not always clean but the place is perfect for your pup to run and socialize. They have obstacles and water fountain for the dogs.
