After visiting all the local parks in the West Palm Beach area, it’s become apparent that people just love to take their dogs to the park. However, only a few parks offer areas designated specifically for dogs where they can roam around in a safe environment and interact with other dogs. These are separate, fenced-in area, for both small and large dogs where they can be let loose and explore. Also a great place to come and relax and meet other dog lovers and make new friends. So here is a list of dog parks in West Palm Beach to visit with your dog or just to check out beforehand to see if it’s a good fit for your dog.

City Paws Dog Park
