Find the dog park entrance
Use 751 Banyan Trail as your destination and follow the dog-park signs into the parking area. The permit must be attached inside the lower-left corner of the vehicle windshield; a loose or taped permit may be refused. Check the official Mizner Bark permit and visitor information before leaving, especially if you need to buy or renew a permit.
Water, shade and play areas
The park has open grass, mature shade trees and separate fenced spaces that make it easier to choose an area for your dog’s size and play style. Water fountains and wash stations help with drinking and cleanup, but bringing a bowl and backup water is still a sensible choice in hot weather. The city also lists accessible parking and handicap-accessible park features.
What other park visitors say
Park goers often praise the grassy grounds, large shade trees, water access, benches and friendly group of regular visitors. The separate small-, medium- and large-dog areas are also a common positive, especially for owners who want a more predictable size match.
Some visitors report uneven maintenance, inconsistent attention to the size rules and limited running room for especially energetic large dogs. Experiences can change with the crowd, so pause at the gate, choose the enclosure that fits your dog and consider a quieter time if your dog prefers more space.
Rules before you enter
Use the enclosure that matches your dog’s weight, supervise your dog and clean up promptly. The city prohibits smoking and requires owners to pick up after their dogs. Keep your dog leashed outside the fenced play area and follow all posted rules and temporary closure notices.
Before you go
Confirm the current hours, permit price and any maintenance closure on the City of Boca Raton’s official page. Bring your permit, leash, waste bags and backup water, and do not count on restroom access. For park maintenance concerns, the city lists 561-393-7810.
