Rules

Dogs are not allowed in Miami-Dade County parks except in the designated dog areas (service animals excepted), and the fine is $100. In county dog parks, dogs need current shots and a rabies tag, stay leashed until inside the fence, and one person may bring up to three dogs. Aggressive dogs, puppies under four months and dogs in heat are not allowed, and county law bans pit bulls. Supervise your dog, pick up after it and fill holes. (Miami-Dade County)

Rules and hours can change, and dog parks sometimes close for repairs. Check the signs at the gate.
