About the Park
Lake Wales Dog Park serves the Polk County city of Lake Wales in central Florida's 33885 area. This off-leash space is free to use as a public park. Our records do not include fencing, surface, or operating hours, so check the enclosure and gate times when you arrive. Lake Wales sits inland on the state's central ridge, where summers are hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms common, making early-day visits the most comfortable for dogs. The cooler winter months are well suited to longer outings. Bring your own water and waste bags in case on-site supplies are limited, and give your dog time to adjust to the heat before extended play.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Lake Wales Dog Park 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, Lake Wales Dog Park is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
