Take a memorable dog-man tour to one of the million-dollar communities in Miami-Dade County, offering waterfront luxury living at its finest! Golden Beach is a town like no other, and it's a pet-friendly destination to put on top of your list!
Covering approximately 1.8 square miles, Golden Beach is a quaint but affluent community bounded on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the west by the Intracoastal Waterway, on the south by the City of Sunny Isles Beach, and north by the City of Hallandale Beach.
It is among the oldest municipalities in the county, having been incorporated in 1929, almost 92 years ago.
With its convenience to fine dining, cultural centers, professional sports venues, and world-class shopping centers, most will agree that "Golden" is a name that best suits this waterfront neighborhood.
And to top it all off, it's got an array of parks in and around its perimeter that welcomes four-legged locals and visitors with open arms!
Here's a list of dog-friendly parks in and around Golden Beach.
1) John Tweddle Park (Top-Pick for Residents!)

Recently renovated, the park now features an upgraded kids' playground, new tennis courts, basketball courts, and an expansive green space with shade trees.
And best of all, it has its own dog park where you can play with your dog off-leash!
Just be sure to bring its lead, as all other parts of John Tweddle Park require dogs on leashes.
Other park amenities include sand volleyball courts and a covered picnic area for a quick family lunch or relaxing under the warm sun.

A highly-rated, 1.76-acre park popular among dog owners in the area, Northeast Regional Dog Park is divided into two main sections: one for small dog breeds and another for larger ones.
The two areas are fenced and shaded and include site furniture and washing stations to clean and cool off your pups.
The Northeast Regional Dog Park also features water fountains for owners and their canines to enjoy after playtime and plenty of shaded benches throughout the park.
Sit back, relax, and watch as your dogs roam freely in the open, tennis ball-covered fields!
Just take note that the dog park and playground can get a little swampy, and there are several tempting mud puddles around the park, so make use of the hosing stations to ensure that your pup doesn't stain the back seat of your car on the ride back home!
