About the Park
In Tampa's historic Ybor City district, in the 33605 area, Bay Paws Ybor gives dogs a place to play off the leash close to the neighborhood's brick streets and cafes. It is listed as a free public space. The Tampa Bay climate is warm and humid for much of the year, so cooler morning and evening visits are easier on active dogs, and carrying water is smart. We do not have confirmation of the fencing, surface, or hours in our records, so keep your dog leashed until you can see the enclosure yourself. The posted signage at the entrance is your best source for hours and any house rules.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Bay Paws Ybor is an off-leash area without full fencing. Make sure your dog has solid recall before letting them loose, and keep an eye on them near any roads or boundaries.
Best of all, Bay Paws Ybor is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
backpackWhat to Bring

Even parks with water fountains can have them out of service. Bring your own to be safe.
Poop bags
Most parks provide them, but don't rely on it. Always come prepared to clean up after your dog.
A folding chair
This park may have limited seating, so a portable chair can make longer visits more comfortable.
A reflective collar or light-up leash
If you visit near dusk, visibility gear helps you keep track of your dog and stay safe.
High-value treats

Your dog's favorite toy
