Gary B. Jones Park for People and Pups
About the Park
This off-leash park in Tamarac has two separated grass enclosures—one for dogs under 25 lbs, one for larger dogs—with paved paths, water fountains, and bathrooms (dawn to dusk). Visitors report the facilities are generally clean, with a waterside walking path and double-gated entries. Recurring concerns include dogs placed in the wrong size section, limited shade, grass issues, and proximity to a busy road with overhead power lines.
