Fort Desoto Paw Park, Florida

         Fort Desoto PAW PARK

This large grassy dog park can be found inside the Fort Desoto (Pinellas County) Park in the greater Tampa Bay area of Florida.  

If you happen to visit the nearby Fort Desoto campground or are just visiting the county park, it is very dog friendly. Adjacent to the dog park is the dog beach that attracts dog owners who want to treat their dogs ( and often themselves) to a day at the beach and a dip in the beautiful turquois Gulf of Mexico. 

The PAW Park is separated by  small and large dogs areas. Both have a nice tall fence and some shade along with benches for the humans. What I like is that there are water bowls, faucets and hoses.  So on a hot day ( and there are plenty in southern Florida) you can hose down your hot dog or rinse him after a swim in the ocean to get rid of the saltwater or just to cool down your furr baby. 

Pros:

- well kept 

- lush green grass

-  benches

- water stations 

- some shade

Cons:

- distance to town

- you have to pay $ 5 to get in to the County park in order to gain access to the dog park

Overall we give PAW Park our 👍!
