Peaceful Ridge Dog Park — Attraction in Davie

Peaceful Ridge Dog park is tucked in among all of the plant nurseries on south Flamingo Road. It is open every day from dawn until dusk. This large dog park is fenced in and there are structures for dog agility training. One thing of note is that there are no separate large and small dog areas. People can enjoy the picnic tables as they watch their dogs play. I loved the paw print benches. Other park amenities are a picnic pavilion and restrooms.

In addition to the dog park Peaceful Ridge has a small pond where you can view fish, turtles, and birds. There is also a butterfly garden. The park has room for horse trailers and trails lead off into the bridle path area for hikers. In the rear of the park is an area with huge palm trees that is great for bird watching.

During my visit I enjoyed wildlife watching in the back of the park. The dogs playing were pretty cute too. Although a bit out of the way, this is a great park for both...

My daughter loves this park, because she can bring one of her dogs that plays better without other dogs around, but today when she took her two dogs they had finally finally mowed grass was a foot tall and she encountered a SNAKE! The park is NOT well maintained. It had been weeks, before it had been mowed so I was not surprised that she saw the snake. I called the Park Ranger to report it, but after 2 hrs called back and snake still NOT removed!!! I even sent a picture. I am a Pediatric nurse and know that some kids come here. The park Ranger was not helpful and acted like there was nothing that needed to be done with this matter, which is very upsetting. Beware of snakes in this place!!!!! Why can't they just do their job and keep this a good place to take your dogs and kids? I just don't understand! What is the point of having the park open, if it's not going to be well maintained with grass...

I felt a need to edit this review. This park is going downhill since the first time I visited. The grass is not being cut as palm branches everywhere. The grass is so long you cannot even clean up after dog. Several large holes that are a safety hazard. because of the length of the grass. Over 2 ft long in some places. They're not even within their own cities code. It is no surprise to me the last two times I went there was no one there! Someone told me they saw a big snake they told the park ranger and he did nothing. He clearly doesn't want anybody using the park. Must be his responsibility to keep it up What a shame. If I could give it zero...
