Pembroke Pines Dog Park

I bring my son Brutus here about 2 – 3 times a week. The dogs that come here are friendly and the park is clean and well kept. There’s a water station for your lil one to drink from so if you forget your bucket no worries! Lots and lots of space for them to run and play! Don’t leave any purses or phones in your car though :(I’ve heard of a lot of car break ins. Other than that I give this dog park 5 stars!

Nice dog park!!! Recommend for all dogs!!! A lot of space compare to other dog parks!

Overall a GREAT park. People and dogs are mostly well behaved and friendly. I like that there are 2 areas, one for small and one for large dogs, and even a place for dog baths. The only complaint is the people who don’t know how to handle their dogs at the dog park! Please take the dog off the leash in the fence! Keeping them on the leash causes behavior issues with all of the rest of the dogs.

I really enjoy taking Mr. Romeo to this dog park. It’s a little ways away from my house; but, it’s free and it’s close to my sister’s house, so we usually take our dogs to the park together.
The park is pretty clean and the owners clean-​up after their dogs. The dog park has two sides: one for big dogs and another for small dogs.
I stayed on the little dog side. This side has little obstacles, shade and some sitting area. A hose is available for water or to cool off your companion. There is a good amount of space to let your dog run around and socialize with other dogs, or in Romeo’s case, humans.

This was the first time bringing my dog to this Dog Park. She had a blast of course! Very clean and well maintained. Some parts of the grass could use some work. My dog ended up laying down in the dirt a few times I will definitely be back! Oh and it’s free! Which is great too.

Nice park to have fun with my dog! Nice people there and good dogs to play. No enough sits, bring your chairs.

I love this place because it’s close to my house. My dog loves to run and I love that it tires her out. I wish it was a little bit cleaner. There’s a lot of dirt holes, and not all the owners clean up after their dogs. I’ve also heard that cars get broken into quite a bit, so don’t leave your valuables inside. I wish the city would do a little bit more for our park.

I live right nearby and recently discovered this park. I used to go to Barkham at Markham by some fluke that the gates were unlocked. Last time I went, I couldn’t get in because apparently you need to pay for a membership! Heck no. Thankfully we discovered this gem just a few blocks from our house. It’s not the beauiful, lush greenery there is at Markham park, but my little guy doesn’t care. He has fun playing with the other dogs (weekend afternoons are busiest). Always lots of water bowls all around and tennis balls galore. There are also 3 large benches, but if you come at a busier time, you might want to bring some chairs.

We have small dogs who would rather follow us around than be on their own.
The place is awesome and incredibly spacious. We usually go in the mornings and there are maybe four other dogs with us in the small pen at that time. It’s dead. We have also gone around two pm and there are people who bring folding chairs and eat and drink and hang out. So that time is way more fun as long as it’s not too hot out.
From what I understand, there are dog parks with water fountains and fancy pools, but this isn’t one of them. They do have kiddie pools in the summer, and a hose with bowls that parks and rec replaces every couple of months, so I’m okay with that.
This place is perfect. It’s just what I need and two minutes from home. The dogs don’t care about the fancy stuff, they just wanna run around and hang out with us.

I’m lucky to say this park is only 10 minutes from my house so that already means we are off to a great start. It’s located on Johnson st. just east of Palm ave across from a children’s playground. Their parking lot area is smaller then other parks but I’m sure you can park along the grass. There are posted signs to not leave valuables etc in the car since I think there’s been problems before.
The park itself is simple but well kept and clean.
There is a small dog area for pups under 30lbs and a big dog area. There’s a kiddie pool in the big dog area. We were in the small dog area since my Eva is under 6lbs. The small dog area had water bowls and a water fountain area. They also had baggies and trash areas. What’s great is that there are various obstacle course items for the pups, now they’re weathered but it gives the pups extra things to explore.
We went around 2pm and there was only one other pup in the small dog area and he was friendly and well behaved. Overall I think this dog park is peaceful and not as busy as others. It’s clean and my Eva had a nice time. As we were walking out we noticed a box with tennis balls for the pups to take a play with that was put there in memory of a pup. This really touched my heart and made this little park that much more special.

I’ve been here a few times with my pup, and she has a good time. It serves it’s purpose for her to run & play. There are a few regulars & the some of the ppl are pretty friendly, too. When I don’t have time or the energy to drive to one of the others, this works out just fine. It is divided into two sections & both are very spacious.

I would say the dog park is just mediocre. The place looks a little older but is well maintained. They’re currently redoing the small dog portion of the park, so they fenced off a portion of the big dog portion for the small dogs to use. The park is large and has some obstacles for the dogs to use, but there is no water fountain for the dogs, just a hose and a few bowls — vast difference from some of the other dog parks I have been to.

Good clean dog park with two sections. One for small dogs and one for large dogs. Each of the sections have pools for the sofa and a hose. In addition they have bags for owners to clean up after their pets, albeit on a few occasions they were empty. There are covered seating areas for the adults while waiting on their pets. In addition there Is a seesaw made with dogs for little kids .
When you come in the early evening there are about 10 – 20 dogs here and there various owners. There are a few park patrollers who are like neighborhood watch in a hoa but overall it is a clean park whereas the dogs can socialize.
If it was like markham with the nice walking path also, it would seal the deal!

Don’t leave anything in your car!!! This park is notorious for car break ins! The park is okay, not anything to write home to about. Sometimes dog owners are not as friendly as they could be when their dog acts up.

Ive been to the dog park a few times before. Many times I went, the dog owners were very touchy and on top of every dogs move. Once my dog got excited and humped another dog (my dog is fixed). Well the owner ended up screaming at me. Other times things went fine and the dogs just ran in circles. Dogs will be dogs.
I have a 25lbs mini pincher, so i would switch him from the small dog park to the big dog park with no problem. Well today i decided to switch him into the big dog park. big mistake. I didnt notice there was 3 pitballs. One of the pittballs went to go attack my dog, grabbing him by the neck… when trying to pick up my dog the pittball snapped at me pushing me to the fence. Luckily a guy grabbed the pittball by the stomach and i grabbed my dog and ran out. luckily there was no blood.
I do not suggest putting your small/​medium dog in the big dog park, especially if there are aggressive dogs. Not to say all pitballs are aggressive. It is also hard to know what dogs are aggressive. Also, online there are tips on how to handle dog attacks. I see that I probably did not handle it the best way. It was traumatizing and I will probably not go back. Big dog park = potential danger. Small dog park is filled with 5−10lbs dogs and very sensitive owners… medium size dogs need a side of their own.

I’ve lived in walking distance to this park for seven years
They maintance the park often. Although not too much shade in the park.
. My dogs as well as my neighbors dogs have been attacked by pit bulls or pit bull mixes in this park. The city finally put up phone numbers for you to call if your dog was in unprovoked attacked.
Yes there are very friendly pit bulls in this park as well.
My suggestion is if you dontknow the dogs inthepark or if there are too many dogs leave or dont go in. You can walk the trail in the back of the park.
If you stay and are uncomfortable with a dogs behavior talktotheowner if you don’t get anywhere call the police andmakesure they write downwhat happened and you get a case/​event number.
I suggest you go during the morning or day as the night crowd is a little more rough.
Finally be really careful at this park and in Pembroke pines malls parking lots to takeyour purse and dont Leave anything in your car — there was a high degree of smash and grabs in the parking lots.
If you live there pressure the city for security cameras in the parking lot.

This is my neighborhood dog park. It’s amazing to have one so close by. I can literally walk there on a not-​so-​freaking-​hot South Florida day.
I’ve been going to this dog park for a handful of months now. They have 2 areas, one for large dogs and the other for small dogs [sorry, no medium sized dogs allowed]. In the large dog area there are hoses and pools but in the small dog area they don’t have a hose which is pretty sucky! I know people were petitioning to open a water line on that side but I don’t know if that got anywhere [doesn’t seem like it].
Once I was warned that people go there with there «mean» pit bulls… that is certainly not the case! Yes, there are pit bulls but they have all been friendly and well-​behaved at all times! And excuse me just because it’s a pit bull doesn’t mean it’s a bad dog! I have a pit bull myself, she’s the most social and sweetest dog ever. She LOVES playing with puppies and loves attention. She’s scared of her own shadow!
I have never had a bad experience, I’ve never seen a dog fight either. Love this place!
IMPORTANT NOTE: There have been numerous cases of people breaking into cars in the parking lot of this park. They typically break in if they know a purse is in the car. This happens OFTEN because I’ve heard it from at least 5 people and just witnessed it today… when this lady came back to her car, her window had been smashed and her purse had been taken from the car. DO NOT LEAVE PURSES OR BAGS IN YOUR CAR.
