Barkley & Happy Paws DOG Parks
Two community dog parks allow our four-pawed furry friends to romp and play in generous open spaces.
Barkley Dog Park is located near the Veterans Gate and next to Calypso Park. This park has separate sections for large and small dogs, wonderful views with shade trees and a water hose. There is plenty of parking in the Calypso Parking lot.
Happy Paws Dog Park is located in Phase Three, near the Pine Island Gate. This park has a handy parking lot, separate sections for large and small dogs, and is wide open with large social areas and a long dog run.
