Dog-Friendly Parks Near Biscayne Park

Give your dog a reason to wag over time with grassy detours, shady corners, and endless lush spaces steps away from Biscayne Park, a peaceful, tree-canopied village with a distinct and highly consistent real estate landscape featuring single-family homes on oversized lots and in a diverse mix of architectural character.  

At just under one square mile and made up of around 1,200 homes, Biscayne Park is known for its tranquil atmosphere, vintage homes with big yards, and towering oak trees. 

And here, dogs rule the block, around it, and beyond! 

Why is that, you ask?

Well, aside from Biscayne Bay's neighborly vibe and laid-back charm, it's just moments from some of Miami's best outdoor spots, from locales like North Miami, Miami Shores, and more, which means fresh air and new trails for the humans and plenty of wagging tails for the four-legged crew. 

 So if you're planning a bark-worthy outing with your favorite floof, here's the good news— 

You've got a whole trail of dog-friendly parks to explore nearby!

 Here are the dog-friendly parks near Biscayne Park.
