Blog Best Dog-Friendly Parks in the Palm Beach Area
The Greater West Palm Beach area is sprawling and there are no signs of the developments slowing down. Therefore, we have created a list of some of the best dog parks to take your favorite furry friend to throughout our city.
City Paws at Howard Park
Situated between Parker Avenue and Lake Avenue, this larger Howard Park houses a small little doggie haven named City Paws.
City Paws has two designated areas. One for large dogs and one for small dogs, which is comforting for those who worry about the size of their animals in regard to sociability.
The crowd consists of the same community of people who live nearby, so finding regular friends for your pup will be easy. You might even make some friends of your own while you’re there.
Canine friendly water fountains are located within each designated dog area and clean-up baggies are also available.

Dreher Dog Park
Dreher Dog Park is an expansive park for dogs, small and large, to run around freely and openly. The park goes back into the property for over a mile, so there is no worry about the safety of your animal in relation to the proximity of the road.
Dreher Park is one of the most well-kept parks in Palm Beach County and is a popular destination for families. However, you would never guess that anyone is ever there because the size of the park gives the perception of seclusion.
