Brohard Beach Dog Park Sarasota

Dog Park Rules: These are self-policed rules, but you will find that the locals will quickly remind you of what the rules are! These are primarily common sense rules and note that there are dog poop bags provided by the park. You should be capable of cleaning up after your dog and insuring that any holes your dog may have dug, are filled in when you depart.

Dog Park Areas: There are two areas; one for large dogs and one for small dogs. You will find that most small dog owners will prefer to use the small dog area for the obvious reasons. You should exercise some caution when you bring your dog to the large dog area, there are dogs that are laid back and there are others that are wary - use caution until you determine what dogs are there when you visit.

Dog Cleanup Area: The large dog area has several low lying areas which will fill up with water after a rain storm, so your dog is going to get muddy while playing with the other dogs. The cleanup area has a hose to allow you to cleanup your dog prior to your departure.

Small Dog Area: This area is good sized and can be entered separately from the large dog area. It has a fence gate to allow you to enter the large dog area as well. The rules state that "small dogs" are 20 pounds or less in size.

Large Dog Area: This area quite large and also contains the beach access gate. Dogs have plenty of room here to run and chase each other - I am not sure of the exact dimensions of this area, but it is easily 150 yards end-to-end.

Dog Owner Seating: The large dog area contains several picnic tables where owners congregate while their dogs play.
