DOG-FRIENDLY PARKS IN FLORIDA

Florida's 200+ dog parks operate in perpetual summer mode. From Miami's tropical energy to Panhandle beach towns, these spaces adapt to heat, humidity, and afternoon thunderstorms. Coastal breezes provide relief near the Atlantic and Gulf, while inland parks rely on shade and timing. The culture is laid-back and diverse - snowbirds mix with year-round residents, and small breeds share space with water-loving retrievers.
