Dog Wood Park Dog Wood Park is located at the I-95/Butler area of Jacksonville, FL just a few blocks south of Dave & Busters. www.jaxdogs.com

Welcome to the ultimate page for Jacksonville pet owners and members and visitors of Dog Wood Park! We are excited to use this page for announcements, information and sponsor discounts for pet owners of all types of pets. Although Dogwood Park is a park for canines, we recognize that pet lovers often have more than one type of animal so we welcome all users. Visitors are welcome to enter

the park anytime between 10 am and 4:30 pm M-F and 9 am and 5 pm Saturday and Sunday. The park closes at 10 pm and members can access the park as early as 6 am. Our off-leash park is a unique 42-acre (25 acres are currently fenced) private country club providing fitness, recreational, relaxation, and socializing opportunities for both you and your dog. Dogs can run off-leash to their hearts' content in a safe, controlled environment. The off-leash park offers both dogs and their people a variety of recreational and fitness amenities, including dog-swimming ponds, jogging/walking trails, and play equipment such as tunnels. Perhaps even more importantly, the off-leash park gives dogs a chance to socialize with others of their own kind. Regular off-leash exercise and play with other dogs will result in a healthier, happier, more well-adjusted dog. Our off-leash park features the following amenities:

* Lake Bow Wow, a 2-acre swimming lake for dogs (with a fountain!)
* 25 acres fenced with 6-foot chain link fence
* Huge fields for frisbee and throwing balls
* A 4-acre shady area for those hot days
* A dog shower for muddy paws
* Barkham Woods, a 10-acre natural wooded area with nature trails around and through it
* Small dog area for dogs under 25 pounds with both sunny and shady sections, and Lake Fifi, a small dog swimming pond!
* Night dog: three lighted acres for use after dark (until 10 p.m.)
* Special Events: a one or three-acre separate area that can be rented for parties, festivals, or any kind of special event
* Picnic tables
* A doggie sand pile for climbing and digging
* Tunnels, tires, jumps and other fun exercise obstacles for the dogs


Single Day Visits for Non-Members:
$10.28 plus tax for one dog ($11 including tax)

For each additional dog from the same household you pay $1.17 plus tax ($1.25 including tax)

Members:
Member dogs get in the park for FREE! Guest (non-member) dogs accompanying member dogs get in the park at a discounted visitor rate: $6 plus tax for the first guest dog and $1 plus tax for each additional guest dog in the same family.

It is with great sadness that we are announcing that Dog Wood Park will be permanently closed, effective February 27, 2023. Our last full day of business will be Sunday, February 26.

This is not a decision that was made lightly. However, there are major issues with the land and building that need to be addressed and there was no way to do that or come up with a solution to fix these issues with people and their pets coming and going. It would not be safe and there would be no way to do it without a lot of risk.

Although we know people will be disappointed, we are comforted by the fact that we still have many wonderful places in Jacksonville to take your pets and we will follow up with an email next week highlighting those places and services. In addition, every member will receive a refund check for the remaining time they have on their membership. These checks will be mailed on February 28 so please be on the lookout if you are a current member. It will be business as usual between now and then with our office still open, along with bathing and, of course, ice cream for sale!

We are so proud of the great service we have provided to the Jacksonville community over the years. Specifically, we stayed open every single day of the COVID lockdown in 2020, we have offered one free day per week to the members of our military, healthcare, school system and law enforcement and we have fulfilled Christmas wish lists for many children each year, in addition to sponsoring numerous charity events and organizations.

With the issues facing our land and building, this told us the time had come to say good-bye.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who made us smile and allowed us to be a part of your pet's life story.
