Dog-park layout and amenities
The dog area is fenced for off-leash play. Park directories and visitor reports describe separate areas for smaller and larger dogs, drinking water, mature trees and places to sit. Check the posted size designation before entering because enclosure use can change during maintenance.
Poinciana is also a general neighborhood park. The walking path, playground, basketball court and picnic areas sit outside the dog enclosure, where dogs must remain leashed.
What other park goers say
Park goers often like the roomy dog area, mature shade trees, walking loop, benches and water station. Some visitors mention bringing small pools for dogs to cool off, while others appreciate having a playground and other neighborhood-park features nearby.
Reviews are mixed on cleanup and upkeep. Some visitors report pleasant, well-maintained visits, while others mention dog waste, long grass or concerns about aggressive dogs. Conditions can change, so inspect the enclosure, gates and water source when you arrive and choose a quieter time if your dog prefers more space.
Rules and safety
The City of Hollywood requires owners to control and supervise their dogs, clean up waste and keep rabies tags current. Dogs must be leashed outside the dog park. Sick dogs, dogs in heat and aggressive dogs are prohibited, along with alcohol, glass containers and fireworks.
Leave immediately when lightning is seen or thunder is heard. Bring water and waste bags even when dispensers or fountains are normally available, and remove your dog if play becomes unsafe.
