Let your pup call the shots as it leads you to tail-wagging strolls and sniff-filled missions around Liberty Square, a redeveloping mixed-use community in the heart of Liberty City.
Start your morning with soul, sunshine, and personality as you embark on a pup-friendly romp along the parks near Liberty Square, the first 753-unit public housing project for African Americans in Miami.
Born out of necessity during segregation, this legacy-rich community is on its way to becoming one of Miami's most ambitious mixed-income housing projects, thanks to the Liberty City Rising movement, which promises to reinvent the Liberty Square we've come to know and love.
And while it isn't lined with pet boutiques or pampered lawns (at least, for now), Liberty Square's location makes up for it with easy access to nearby green spaces where dogs and their humans can stretch their legs and shake off the day.
So, leash up, grab the treats, and give your good boy or girl the park-hopping tour they deserve— they're all just minutes away!
Here are the dog-friendly parks near Liberty Square.

With picnic tables, a playground, a basketball court, and a rec center, it's a solid spot for families, solo visitors, and yes, dog parents, too.
You'll find locals stopping by for a short morning walk or lingering after school programs let out, enjoying the laid-back energy the park naturally brings.
Remember, dogs are welcome here, but only if leashed, so bring yours along with a little extra water and a few cleanup bags.
NW 44TH ST / NW 11TH CT, Miami, FL 33127
If your pup prefers quieter spots to sniff around, head to West Buena Vista Mini Park, just 5 minutes from Liberty Square.
This compact green nook has picnic tables and an outdoor fitness area, with open space for leashed dogs to explore.
It's a lesser-known gem for locals walking their pets, especially in the afternoons when the neighborhood starts to wind down, so you don't have to worry about crowds when you visit.
It's also not far from Upper Buena Vista, which makes this mini park an ideal low-key pit stop after errands or lunch nearby.

Here, shaded picnic tables, barbecue grills, and a playground make it a family-friendly pitstop, while the soccer goal and open lawn offer a bit of space to stretch your legs.
Leashed dogs are welcome throughout the park, and the mature trees provide a nice break from the Miami heat while your Fido explores.

This peaceful 1.2-acre park sits right along the Little River, with a paved trail that loops around the grass and follows the river's edge for a scenic stroll.
