Join Leon County Government on Tuesday, May 6, at 10 a.m. for a tail‑wagging ribbon‑cutting at the new, two‑acre Apalachee Regional Park Dog Park, the largest open‑space dog park in the county and home to the region’s first public dog‑agility course.
Designed for both safety and fun, the park offers:
- Separate play areas for large and small dogs
- Four shaded pavilions
- Two dog‑wash stations
- Interactive signage to guide first‑time visitors
- A full agility course with the Rover Jump Over, Paws Table, Hoop Jump, King of the Hill, Weave Posts, Stepping Paws, and Doggie Crawl—perfect for beginners and seasoned agility pros alike
To keep the celebration rolling, the County will offer refreshments for pups and people, plus information on dog adoptions courtesy of the Leon County Humane Society—because every great dog deserves a forever home.
