Fort De Soto Park (Saint Petersburg, FL) is made of 5 interconnected islands totaling 1,136 acres. It’s a great place to see a natural ecosystem.
Dogs must be on leash outside the park, except in the dog park. Nearby areas include an old Spanish fort and camping. Dogs are allowed in camping spots 86-164. A multipurpose trail (7 miles) connects different areas of the park. Dogs are not allowed on the beach, except by the dog park (read on!).
The Fort De Soto Dog Park, or Paw Playground, has two separate areas for large and small dogs where dogs can run around off-leash. Dogs are also allowed on the beach near the dog park – access to this beach is at the southwest corner of the dog park. This is a great spot to watch the sunset with your dog! Read the dog park rules before you go. Parking near the dog park is available at Bay Pier.
Take a picture of your dog at the dog beach or park! What did you like about the park and would you recommend it to others? Why?
