One of the best dog parks in the city!!! I am so glad they were taken care of after Hurricane Irma. My dog always has a great time at this park.

Best dog park in the area!
It's always very clean and dog owners there are super nice and welcoming.
The only thing is that there are very few parking spots.

Very spacious and all dog owners are very nice. Plenty of shade to hang out while your pup is running around. Kept very clean as well.

Several weeks ago when taking my partner's dog out for some exercise, I decided to bring the lil' guy here to run off some steam, rather than to the park we usually visit. We liked it here at Blanche Park so much that we've returned a few times since.

Blanche Park isn't large and is split into 2 sections; One part is a fenced in, well-maintained playground for children, and the other section is a dog park for canines of all sizes. IMO, this seems to be a really nice facility overall compared with most other area dog parks. The first thing one notices when approaching is that there's a basket of tennis balls, knotted ropes and other toys for any dog using this park to share. Upon entering, you see nice packed mulch paths for the humans, and a low artificial grassy turf covering the entire place that looks much like a putting green, though they did leave 1 area in the back corner with a patch of natural grass. There are plenty of benches for the humans, a rounded, elevated hill in the center, and the people who bring their dogs here seem friendly and outgoing for the most part. Blanche park is also outfitted with a water fountain for both the dogs and their humans, and several poop bag dispensers and trash cans.

The only critical comments I'd have are: 1) Since this is a park for dogs of all sizes, some of the larger ones can get a bit aggressive, and in some cases their owners refuse to do the responsible thing and simply take their aggressive animals home or train them properly. 2) I've seen a number of people come here and sit on a bench to read or become enthralled with their smart phones, while their dogs simply run free with no supervision on their part. That also means that, when they take a dump, the owner pays no notice and doesn't pick it up. Did I mention the entire surface of this place is mulch or artificial turf, meaning the poop sits on the top of the surface? 3) One evening when I came here, we were nearly the last to leave before it closed - yet there were only 2 open parking spaces. IMO, if they've got a number of parking spaces intended for people coming to this park, they should enforce that. As it is, it seems people living in this area take them for no-cost parking.

My favorite dog park in Miami. Here people are extremely responsible for their pet and watch them at all costs. Yes you'll have the occasional fight because that's what dogs do, but as soon as it happens, owners know to grab their dogs back legs and pull away. Done. No damage done.

Only complaint is that there isn't a partition for smaller dogs so be prepared to have hyper, much larger dogs, trample all over your tiny dachshund. Also there are the occasional times where lazy owners don't like to pick up after themselves but everyone else is pretty diligent about picking up what's not even theirs.

Great park. Great owners. Be prepared to meet a bunch of dog lovers.
