In the town’s effort to build a dog park, Miami Lakes has secured a lease for a FDOT parcel, located at the south end of N.W. 77 Court, which is suitable for dog activities.
Town Manager Alex Rey said the site is adjacent to future proposed trail facilities.
Dog parks provide the opportunity for dogs to get vital exercise and socialization they need, which are two major factors in reducing behavior issues.
Rey said the next step is to create a conceptual plan for the dog park based on input from residents.
The proposed dog recreation area is planned to have fencing for a large dog area and a small dog area, and it will include a parking lot, water fountain and shaded picnic shelter.
