Do not travel to 7407 Salisbury Road for a dog-park visit. Dog Wood Park closed that Jacksonville location on February 27, 2023. The former park property has since been described in local development reporting as the site of a proposed residential project.
Dog Wood Park says it is coming back
Dog Wood Park’s current website says the business is returning to Jacksonville at a new location. As of September 1, 2026, the operator has not posted the new address, opening date, hours, admission details or visitor requirements on that page.
Check the official Dog Wood Park website for reopening updates. Until the operator publishes complete location and access information, do not treat older addresses, hours, fees or membership details as current.
The Salisbury Road location is closed
- Former address: 7407 Salisbury Road, Jacksonville, FL 32256.
- Closure date: February 27, 2023; the final full day was February 26.
- Current access: No public dog-park access is confirmed at the former property.
- Future location: Announced by the operator, but the address and opening date have not been published.
The operator’s 2023 closure statement cited major land and building problems that could not be addressed safely while people and dogs continued using the site. Local reporting later identified the former Dog Wood Park property in a rezoning proposal for residential development.
What former park goers said
Reviews of the former operation often praised its large fenced grounds, wooded trails, open running areas, swimming pond, small-dog section and wash facilities. Visitors remembered it as a destination where dogs could run, swim and explore for longer outings.
Some former visitors also reported rough access roads, fencing or gate concerns and uneven maintenance. These reviews describe the closed Salisbury Road park only. They do not establish what the future Dog Wood Park location will offer.
