Miami's forgotten industrial enclave-turned-bonafide arts and fashion district offers a short-but-sweet lineup of parks and nature spots for Fido, luring your tandem to an incredible, well-rounded South Florida vacation to remember.
Folks, welcome to Wynwood!
A compact district squeezed between Edgewater to the East, Allapattah to the West (on the other side of the I-95), the Miami Design District to the north, and its south, a downtown region known as Town Square, Wynwood covers approximately 1.294 square miles, which is smaller compared to other neighborhoods in the area.
Yet, what it lacks in size, Wynwood makes up for with its big-city convenience and world-class entertainment!
In fact, it represents the Art & Soul of the city, bearing two sub-districts, the Wynwood Art District in northern Wynwood and the Wynwood Fashion District along West 5th Avenue.
Imagine that-- what was once a collection of warehouses is now one of the world's hippest hangouts!
Experience the best international contemporary art, whether in galleries or simply on the street-- and everything else in between!
Are you ready to explore Miami's famous El Barrio?
Fido won't know what hit it!
Here's a list of dog-friendly parks in Wynwood.
1) Roberto Clemente Park (Top-Pick!)
101 NW 34th St, Miami, FL 33127
If you're craving the outdoors, nothing beats a memorable visit to Roberto Clemente Park, Wynwood's only pocket park!
A large plot of grass with amenities stacked around it, the famous park is open to humans and pups to explore and enjoy.
Roberto Clemente Park is fully fenced-in, surrounded by calm streets and lanes of family neighborhoods, so you're sure to have a quiet and secluded time with your furry pal while you're here.
Once inside, a perimeter sidewalk trail encompasses the area, with plenty of shady spots to relax and sit under to rest.
Its western side is the most open, with a large grassy field with two baseball diamonds.
Meanwhile, the park's eastern side also has grassy fields that offer spots for Fido to play in the grass.
Some benches line the pathways, too, where you can sit and enjoy the sights of the park.
Other park amenities include a playground, basketball court, football field, picnic tables, an outdoor sports area, and a recreation center.
Don't forget to bring your pup's lead-- Roberto Clemente Park only allows dog visitors on a leash.
2) Dorsey Park
1701 NW 1st Ave, Miami, FL 33136
An unassuming municipal park with athletic fields & courts, plus an array of murals, Dorsey Park is another nearby dog-friendly park you can explore with Fido, only a 6-minute drive from Wynwood.

3) Paraiso Park
3001 NE 7th Ave, Miami, FL 33137
Edgewood residents are enjoying a new park in the city, a .6-acre patch of greenery amidst four high-rise condominiums constructed in the recently created Paraiso District, Paraiso Park.
And luckily, you can, too, since it's only a 6-minute drive from Wynwood!
While the park may be tiny, it is home to several significant amenities: an outdoor fitness zone, a children's playground, and a fenced-in dog park.
Three Kompan Fitness Zone machines are on rubberized safety flooring in its western section.
Meanwhile, a children's playground is built on a large expanse of blue safety surfacing at the southernmost part.
It features a three-seater spinning bouncer, a tall rope climber, a couple of benches, and a water fountain.
It is not a fenced space, but low hedges and security cameras help keep kids protected.
Lastly, Paraiso Park's most popular amenity is the fenced-in dog park in the western section, next to the fitness zone.
A continuous stream of dog walkers leading their charges to this spot for a game of fetch or just a romp with other furry friends, and there is a sculptural metal fence installed on gravel and a pet-waste station with bags (another stand outside the dog park).
You'll also find a dual human-canine water fountain and two benches on concrete slabs.
Two additional wooden benches are within the garden area facing the water.
Other amenities include night lighting and landscape lighting, and decorative light wraps around many of the park's native and non-native trees, such as oak, seagrape, palms, and royal poincianas.
Don't forget your dog's leash!
