Question

I am looking for dog parks in Lee County, in Florida?

Answer 1

Looking for a great beach where you'll be able to take your BEST FRIEND in the whole world?  Dog Beach in Bonita Springs is one of the only "pets permitted" public beaches.  

Also known as "Lee County Off-Leash Dog Area."  It is located north of Bonita Beach Road where it curves north and becomes Hickory Blvd.  It is physically located just north of the New Pass bridge and just before Carl Johnson boat ramp and Lover's Key state park.. It's only a few miles south of Fort Myers Beach.

Open dawn to dusk, this is more or less an Island sandbar.  The size of the beach varies with the tide and water level.  Pet owners are on the honor system to control their pets and also pick up after them.  Download or print the rules and brochure for Bonita Springs Dog Beach HERE.  To become a supporter of dog beach and maintain it's future use visit SOODA = Save Our Off Leash Dog Area

Available onsite are:  Parking, plastic bags and disposal stations.

It was officially sanctioned in May 2002 by Lee county as a permanent off-leash park.

It is maintained by a group of local volunteers calling themselves SOODA (Save Our Off-Leash Dog Area.)

Lee County will be erecting a sign in the parking area of this beach to remind people that "Dog Beach is a privilege, not a right."

The park is accessible by both boat and automobile.

We go about once a week and it's been a blast everytime.  It would be great if you have a boat too.

There is also an off-leash dog park in Estero.  I haven't ever been there and actually just found out about it while I was looking up the addy for the Dog Beach.  Here is some more info though:

And there is a third dog park in Ft Myers called Barkingham.  I am not too sure about this one but here is a link I found with the address:
