About the Park
Nancy Weidenhamer Dog Park is one of Destin's most complete off-leash parks, at 4100 Indian Bayou Trail in the Panhandle's 32541 area. The fully fenced grounds include separate areas for small and large dogs, so play stays matched to size. Shaded stretches under pines and oaks offer relief from the sun, and dog watering stations, benches, seating, waste bags, and parking round out the amenities. It is free to use as a public park. Hours run daily, roughly 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM most days, with a later 10:00 AM start on Tuesday, so confirm the current schedule before an early visit. The city facilities page has the latest details.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Nancy Weidenhamer Dog Park is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.

Dogs can enjoy water features here — great for cooling off on hot days. Bring a towel for the car ride home, because your pup will probably get soaked.
