Destin Dog Park — Attraction in Destin

Just beyond the west tree line is the executive airport. The landing flight path is just to the left of the park. Today, there seems to be an airplane arriving or leaving every 15 minutes. There are 2 fenced in areas, one for small and one for large dogs. There is plenty of area in both sides to use your ball wand to make your pup run. There is a 100ft by 150ft area for small dogs. The large dog area is at least 1/3 to 1/2 larger than the small dog area. My two small dogs are just roaming the fenced area. There are 10 trees for country dogs and a fire hydrant for city dogs to do their thing. There is some sandy areas but mostly with lawn. The large dog area has a ball diamond area with bleached out pavement. There are 4 outdoor benches in the small dog area. 3 benches are partially shaded and one bench fully shaded.

After a long drive down to Destin from Aiken, SC, it was a true blessing to find the Destin Dog Park!

This is an excellent dog park for large dogs, especially for out-of-town visitors! We've visited this park several times in the past two days, and found not only was the park facility excellent (large, with shade trees and plenty of benches, along with a water supply and free "doggie bags) but the dog owners were friendly and courteous as well.

I look forward to visiting Destin again in 2024. My dog, Remy, is looking forward to return, as well...Merry Christmas to all! (Here are some photos of just a few of the wonderful dogs at the park today.)
