Pembroke Pines Craig Rupp K-9 Dog Park — Attraction in Pembroke Pines

This is a great dog park. It has a smaller area for dogs less than 30 lb and a larger fenced-off area for dog is greater than 30 lb. only thing I did not like is that they close early. On Sunday nights they close at 6 p.m. On week day nights they close at 8 p.m. And Saturdays as well at 8 p.m. There are no public restrooms and there are no water fountains for human beings. On the other hand, it is 8 wonderful Haven for canines. There are little dog water found scattered throughout the entire Park area, it has a redundant safety entrance system, the parking is right there next to the park, only bad thing I'd say is that you're right underneath high voltage power lines. Of course this is cumulative, but you should still be concerned. There are few benches, I say about 5 + total scattered throughout the entire park, including the large and small dog park. They have free poop bag stations, which you can obtain a little poop bag and do the right thing and clean up after your pet. Everyone there seems very friendly and everyone has a relaxed attitude. I only wished they stay open a little bit later and had more lighting to stay a little later. A public restroom and the vending machine would also Aid and helping this dog park become one of the better ones...

I used to take my dog to this park religiously, however, recently during our past couple of visits, we had run into a couple of dogs that are reactive, and not in a positive way, and their owners can’t control them. The owners basically just sit in their lounge chairs and let their dogs do whatever they want. There was one lady who brings her, Australian mixed dog, and when dogs would approach her dog, she would constantly yell. “ not friendly, not friendly he will bite you!” Why would you bring your dog to a dog park with other dogs? Who are there to play? She trained him with a ball because he likes the ball thrown around and if he enjoys it so much, she should do it in her own backyard. And if she really loves her dog, she wouldn’t be putting her dog in that position to where he will attack another dog. So with that being said, we used to come here, but due to dog owners being irresponsible, we no...

I went for the first time the other day with my golden doodle. The left sign says over 30lbs the right side says under 30 lbs. My dog is around 60 lbs but he’s short. I didn’t even make it into the park before a pit forced it’s way into the cage to enter and began attacking my dog. As I’m fighting off the pit so that it doesn’t hurt my dog I’m wondering where the owner is... low and behold he comes running from the PARKING LOT... not even in the park with his dog. I eventually took my dog to under 30 lbs regardless of the weight difference. In the 30 mins I was there the pit attacked 2-3 more dogs. From what I was told by some of the other dog owners there have been many complaints about that specific dog. I’m surprised that no one has done anything.

Nonetheless, Good park space and you can tell there are some great dogs/owners. Just a bad first experience with a dog that obviously shouldn’t be...
